if there is some point there, i don't think its valid. i think Oddjob hit the nail on the head. he was referring to a specific group, not any non-conformist in general, whether they be voluntary or involuntary. these silly 'emo' groups and the like won't be around in 20-30 years. some other group will replace each one, but be almost identical.

then again, i can't tell if you're making the point i think you are. so if you're not, ignore this.

Nah, I'm not making that point. Actually, I'm not making any point. Indeed, I never have, in my life.

Evolution of "Emo"

1. Typical Everyday Goth
2. Boy/Girlfriend ends it because they look hideous and they smell.
3. Dabbles in self harm to fill "empty void".
4. Still reeling from the break up, takes up an extra 2 showers a month (from the usual none) and adds extra face paint to hide the gargoyle face.
6. Starts listening to The Promise Ring because they talk about broken relationships and stuff.
7. Realises that showers are interfering with their drug use as the amount of time they are cleaning can be used for shooting up.
8. Writes shitty poetry about how fucked their life is to inspire newly forming emo's
9. Kills self.
