you're stereotyping. often on this site people will talk about the ways that others assuming they are a stereotypical gay affects them, and you're doing the same thing but just to a different group of people. people who listen to emo music don't all cut and people who cut don't all listen to emo music, etc.

people who define themselves as 'emo' always seem to have a good life. like you said, some create pain for themselves so they can squeeze into that catagory. but some cutters are not emo, and do have a problem, a chemical imbalance in the brain. its not fair to catagorize (im not saying you did) people that cut or are depressed as emo, becuase this, at least how it seems to be going in society, is not taken as seriously when they could be using some serious and professional help. i think its getting harder and harder to tell if the pain they claim they feel is real, or something they just make up to be a little different. personally, all the ppl that ive met that claim they're emo do NOT have any serious problems, they do not cut themselves, and they are exactly like the mainstream kids, except for their clothes and the emotions they sometimes seem to pretend to feel. yeah i dont know where im going with this...but your right, emo is starting to become a scary trend...
