are emo kids the new hippies ?
 

as in being hated

everyone fucking hates emo kids just about as much as hippies

emo kids whine about how sad and pathetic their suburban life styles are and how their girlfriends just left them

hippies whined about protecting the environment and legalization of marijuana

same shit different pile

at least hippies have a cause, to try and make the world a better place with love and trees and stuff like that

emo kids have no value that I know of

Emo kids remind me of the new wave kids of the 80's. Their hair does, at least.

hippies did far more harm than good.

no one likes a fundamentalist. except other fundamentalists.

Hippies atleast had a mission and had a bit of fun. Emo kids are just spoiled.

hippies didn't have a fucking mission.

what was their mission? being complete fucking retards and crying for social change while never actually doing anything to accomplish it?

mission accomplished.

yeah they all should have ran for office.

I have had/still have a lot of encounters with hippies. I see a lot of live music, unfortunately so do they. Thats acctually all they do, go to concerts and yes, whine. But they arent all bad, I like a lot of hippies I meet.

Emo kids are similar in the fact that they whine also, but they are 10 times worse than hippies.

Emo sucks as a music genre and as a trend. It wont last.

i'm sure people said the same exact thing about hippies.

emo is a plague which I think isnt going to be going away anytime soon in the near future.

sadly we have to live with them. they crowd my favorite show venues, they crowd my favorite bars, and they even are starting to invade my hometown. their hot topic outfits, hair stylist dyed and cut hair, and their faces painted up with makeup is quite annoying.

if someone DDoS'd myspace.com and held it down for a week, I bet you 5,000 emo kids would commit suicide.

they should have done something. you don't change the politcal machinery by completly ostricizing yourself from the system and mainstream culture.

sitting in a field and eating acid for weeks at a time, while very fun, doesn't really get much done.

You are joking right? The only thing they've done to make the world a better place is not shower thus conserving water.

thats still more than what any of those faggot emo kids have done

I never said they've done anything, I said they have a cause. There's a difference.

Hippies would like the world to be a better place, whether they've had any success at that is another topic.

Yeah, they are like hippies.

Hmmm, maybe I've just been working too much or maybe it's because I just turned 30 or maybe I just missed a memo, but....... WTF is an emo kid?

emo is a genre of music that really really sucks

emo kids are the filfth which listen to said music

dont hate

Ah, ok. Sorry, we always referred to them as something else.

As a rule, I don't like your board persona but that's pretty damn funny :1orglaugh

I want to stand in a field, take acid, wave my arms in the air, and pretend that I am making a difference. That would help me justify my sad and pathetic life.

That is my cause. Here me roar.

actually, this whole theory is all a bullshit generalization like most threads on GFY. Most hippies became yuppies, most of whom became rich, sober, influential and very politically involved and did try to make a difference. Whether you agree with their politics or not, many do stand for something. The people who are just lifelong deadheads following their favorite bands around, not so much. But most people grow up at some point.

Hopefully, these kids will grow out of emo pretty quick. It's really adolescent. I don't think you can be emo much past 18 and not be a total joke.

I don't know what its like in Florida, but here in California they're fucking everywhere. Of all ages. I know a bunch of them, all out of high school and in college or doing lots of nothing... its quite the phenomenon. Its strange watching people try so hard to fit in with one another, its like they're all lost.

Oops. I just generalized again.

yea, there's a bunch of 'em but we still have more goths in my area for some reason. I don't know why - we're the Sunshine State, right? but we're loaded with goths. Who I don't mind so much. Emo's too whiny for me. :Oh crap

Why are you so hater?! :(

lol i almost pissed myself! cool stuff

hippies are still around because there are plenty of people that dont care to do anything with their lives other than have fun and enjoy life. if that's your thing...fantastic.

emo kids won't be around forever because you can't really live your entire life pretending to be sad. eventually you'll realize its retarded, or you'll kill yourself.

I don't know... hippies at least acknowledged a war taking place. I don't think the US even realizes we're at war anymore.

Hippies can be credited for either being the inspiration for or being politically active in promoting things like equality, freedom, civil rights, environmental awareness, and the sexual revolution.

Emo kids can be credited with being the inspiration for boys wearing girls jeans.

I think the main similarity between hippies and emo kids, like most subcultures, they're both full of posers.

emo kids are geeks without the brains
