Over the years I've gotten emails from a
number of concerned emo kids who weren't very happy with the way I portrayed their fashion
and culture in "how to dress emo 2.0" I saved the ones that were really good and have decided to unveil
them here for everyone to see. These are 100% real and unedited, only the email
addresses have been (slightly) changed to protect the not-so innocent. I couldn't
make this stuff up if i tried.

Subject: your site sucks
your site sucks and its not because of the emo shit,
emo does suck, but refused is not an emo band, if you
think that they are you can go fuck yourself, no
person even worthy of uttering the name of the band
refused should know they are the most innovative band
out there in the "punk" scene even after they broke
up. fuck you, labels suck, you think you're cool cuz
you listen to hardcore punk or bullshit like that, on
the same level as emo? you ignorant asshole labeling
yourself or the music you listen to is stupid, instead
of making fun of people for being emo, maybe you
should take a look at yourself, and yes i did just
rant and get pissed off because of a refused reference.

scence when do gap jeans and reebok shoes make you emo
you are a fucking joke. do real emo kids a favor and take this bullshit off of the godamn

From: Mrs Sandra Coon sandycoon1958@______.net
I'm reading this and Im just laughing because you lack common sense. Let me first
state that I do not dress emo and I for one think its funny how when I got to emo shows
they all look alike. You have a bad impression on emo kids, yes a lot of them are scene
and look alike but you need to understand why they dress and act this way. They like the
music so much to the point where they think the only way to really fit in is to dress that
way. Their young and stupid, and we've all made mistakes. You said "the current state
of emo is a joke" well who the fuck are you to define the genre called
"emo". Emo is a dumb name for this genre I actually hate the word. You are the
one who is kidding yourself, so what if they want to dress like they do, it is none of
your business to pick on kids for the way they dress. I know you've got emails from emo
kids calling you a dumbass but now your getting an email from someone who only likes some
emo calling you a dumbass, You need to grow up your 24 years old and more immature than
me. Oh and by the way why don't you put Taking Back Sunday up instead of Saosin, Saosin is
one of the few good emo bands out there and their not even that popular so how can they be
scene. TBS= 49,200,000 yahoo search results. Saosin= 84,200 results. You need
to get your facts straight.

I can tell you what real emo kids dress like, girls and boys.
From: "Stuart Goodlad" stuartgoo@______.com>
why dont you put your degree to better use than making fun of the
way other people choose to spend their lives and money? get out
their a create fine art rather than bitching about others peoples
choices, and the fact that your not making fine art. Whats actually
a joke is that you think that your little website is making people
think, or even that people give a shit about your opinions on emo,
or what you think emo guys and girls look like. all my friends only
know about/go on the site to make fun of the fact that someone would
spend their time on such a lame waste of time, and that you think
people give the slightest fuck what you think about the mo scene.
Find a more fulfiling job, one that actually contributes to socitey
instead of just moking those who are out there, being themselves,
experienceing life.

Subject: FUCKING EMO SCREW UPS!
Why hello, Ive just been on your lovely site, and you say that you appreciate hatemail so
here goes... Lets start by pointing out that emo sucks in general, I know I used to be
one... (sheds a tear). lol Anyway... your website plainly sucks, you have no fucking idea
about emo, what you have described is the shite "new school lets all wanna be trendys
but cry about it cause I suck emo."
Anyway, I have a little emo shit kid to my left called who is subsequently a lot more emo
than the dickheads in your site and looks nothing like your emo dickhead models, (in his
own words).
Continuing, real emo!
From : chantal . rawxie_chanty@______.com
k ur site is pathetic.
i won't go all bitch on you but i need to tell you this:
EMO is not someone its a genre of music you cannot be EMO
now you're telling people how to dress emo ? like come on wtf. that is so scene its
honestly stupid sure a lot of people who listen to emo dress like that but still emo is
just an over used word to describe someone when really you can't be emo or dress emo
kthxbye. reply if you'd like.

i just wanna say fuck emo...i hate it, it pisses me off to see kids trying to get their
peers to feel bad for them...i live in a small city of a population of about 60,000 and
like 65% of the kids are emo, and it pisses me off...sitting on swing-sets singing their
favorite emo songs while im taggin up a bench or sumthin.....makes me wanna slit their
wrists FOR the fucking bitches...i say grow some balls and act more like men then fucking
pussies...and for the girls....w/e fuck them too...they need to get a life and listen to
hip hop... lol peace

Subject : hey, I don't like trends, or "emos" but I have
a little advice
you might think that emo music and hardcore music is the same thing
but, it isnt at all, tattoos are not emo, and emos hate the pit, chick emos and guy emos
when you had an emo guys aol name, or msn name, or wahtever it was
xmyheartbreaksintwox or whatever it was you wrote, you should know that the x's before and
after repesent a hardcore culture called straight edge
straight edge peopel dont do drugs, or alcohol, or have permiscuous sex, and some are
vegeterians. no emos are straight edge, its the hardcore guys.
so, you know, just get some information right before posting it on the internet where
impressionable young teens can read it and try and be scene. yeah. internets. serious
business. k.

Subject : i like ur site but few adjustments
hey, i read ur description and its full of shit. i aint emo but i kno wat it is. ur a
fashion queer from a gay design school, true emo isnt a fashion and the part how emos were
reeboks and sauchony? wat the hell is up with that, just coz they dont wear pink shirts
and make a living out of bagging other people doesnt make them lame. u need a life if u
worry that much about others thay ur devoting ur fashion skills/lack of, to a website
bagging people for being themselves. have u ever met a true emo or just simple plan teeny
bopping lame teenagers who wear tight jeans and comb their hair and think they are emo?
quit kidding urself? at least they r living their life how they want to and aint gonna
stop coz some lame 24 year fashion fag thinks they are a "joke". the only joke
is you sitting at ur computer and creating the worst excuse for a website, i bet u only
dont like them coz they aint fashionable, true emo's are emo for a reason and dont always
live a good life. theres my hate mail, i dislike emo and definetly aint into it, but
ignorant self-pleasing over critical hypocritcal fashion losers like ur self frankly need
a life. just use ur (lame) but worked towards skills to a worthwhile purpose.
and by few i mean delete ur site

Hello...and FUCK YOU. You apparently dont know emo at
all. First of all, the clothes you showed on the site,
not very emo, especially the guy. It can be a life
style, it you want it to be, and you make it that way.
You are an uneducated person putting out opinions,
which you shouldnt do. later stupid

Subject : emo site
ok. well first of all, I'd just like to say f your going to make fun of someone for how
they dress like being emo,
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CORRECTLY IDENTIFY WHAT ONE LOOKS LIKE!!
I'm sorry but you have no idea what an emo kid looks like or wears.
1)they DON'T shop at the gap.
2)they will NEVER wear anything concerning a sweat outfit!! common!! a track jacket?!?!?!
3)diesel jeans?!?! what freakign emo kid wud spend that much on a pair of fucking DIESEL
jeans!!!
4)and dont EVEN get me started on saucony shoes!! god you might as well have just shot
yourself!! you know nothing about emos!!
5)your emo kids are WAY too overweight emo kids are EXTREMELY thin!!
6)they wear TIGHT pants!!! not baggy ones!!
7)and reekbok shoes!!! omg!!! no no no!! they wear vans flats!! not even that!!
they wear CONVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8)THEY DONT WEAR STUDDED BELTS thats for PUNK!!!
9)most emo kids DONT have tattoos!!
10)the only place they have pins is on JACKETS or BAGS!!!
11) YOUR EMO KIDS DONT EVEN HAVE THE EMO HAIR CUT!!!
ITS SUPPOSED TO BE LONG AND IN THEIR FACE!!!!
the only thing you got RIGHT about emo kids is that they wear plugs,have a lip ring, and
black hair!!!
THATS IT
NOTHING ELSE
and as far as bands omg... your terrible at this only like 7 out of the 20 freaking bands
you have as "emo" are actually emo!!
your pathetic
you just proved that you know nothing about fashion and are broadcasting it on the
internet
good job
your a complete failure.

Subject : emo "site"
i don't think it should even be called a site because it is sooo lame! a website is
A set of interconnected webpages, usually including a homepage, generally located on the
same server, and prepared and maintained as a collection of information by a person,
group, or organization.
u don't even have that! u have a bunch of badly drawn shit u decided to throw on a page
and say it was true! it's so wrong and dumb i can't even believe the internet let u put it
up. if u knew anything about emo and the emo culture (if u have ne questions u can ask me)
u would know u are making terrible mistakes!
u can email me at xemorockx@gmail.com if u want me to tell u how to do it right!
From : <SuperMadhouse@______.com>
Subject : Emo
As an emo myself i find your "emo" extremely out of line. If you have a degree
in this then you must have cheated somewhere.
Emo's have long black hair not short hair
They wear band or atticus etc. clothing
They wear a short sleeved T-Shirt over a long sleeved one.
Converses are emo trainer not reeboks since when has an emo had reeboks.
The type of jeans they wear are drainpipe or baggy and we don't buy them from GAP tosspot.
Once you have made them changes add a few razorblade scars on his wrists and get rid of
the biker tattoos and you have a semi emo.
Thanks for making yourself look like a twat.
