All the goth kids where I live all turned emo...odd colored polka dots, stripes, an unbelievably TIGHT pants.
....
They set themselves as far apart as they can from everybody, then they call everybody self righteous for not accepting them.
There are a people where I live that actually dress as...weird...as they can, not to show they are self-confident, but simply for the purpose of getting negative reactions, "you got a piercing WHERE?!?"
They've labeled themselves proudly as "Emo's"--from the word "Emotional", these people alays seem to be depressed, they lways have a reason to complain, to be angry, or to rebel against something...
Why on earth would someone want to be like that? not to establish their uniqueness
(frankly, all of them dress the same anyways, defeating their alleged uniquenes ENTIRELY)
I had alot of "emo" friends in high school, (there are't as many in college though), to my experience, all it is is just a show, so they can put down everyone else because they're "not accepting them." It's funny, because they try to separate themselves from mainstream, and then complain when people think they'e weird....
Now I'm not saying that Nod's Viper or anyone else is like this, it's for everyone to do their own judging whether this might apply to them.
However if there's a REASON for being "odd"...like some cultures shave their heads to show mourning, muslim women cover their heads, etc...then I have no problem with. It's that type of thing that I suport strongly...
