being yourself is not an option

i dunno i dunno i dunno
not feeling very well. might be the gigantic ham & cheese bap i had for lunch --> not sitting well in my stomach
might be my lack of ideas for a gift for kevin --> i sent him a text and said he shouldn't bother buying me anything.

how E.M.O.

i still don't know what emo means. nobody has fully explained it to me. i feel sometimes that i must be it, if emo means someone who can cry when listening to The Smiths by themselves in the kitchen.
but if emo means wearing tight t-shirts, and clothes worn by other people in the 70s, then i'm definetly not that.

in any case, i think those tags are shattering: emo, punk, skin, cheerleader, grunge, goth, metal, wood, plastic, it's all just junk, isn't it? let's try to be only one thing:

the motherfuckers who will bring down american republicans.

i'll push from here, making sure bliar is not reelected; you make sure dirtybush is gone by the end of 2004

Emo is essential "emotional" or "whine rock" as I like to call it. It's white boys singing about lost or unrequited love, or hate, or pain, or pleasure, or something to that effect. It's pretty much a romantic/punk hybrid in my opinion.

Not totally my favorite genre, but there is some good stuff out there.

And regarding labels, I think I gave a good reply to that bit in your next post.

BTW, I got your CD, I'm waiting for stinkacon to bring it to work, since I used her address and am no longer living there. I'm going to finish and send yours out today, if time permits.

phew... i'm glad it arrived. I was starting to wonder if they would all be lost in the mail.

Does Morrissey fall under Emo? Cause i find him ironic/sentimental... and not whiny at all.

Well, Morrissey would more be like the Elder Statesman or Father of Emo-type rock. Like, the early stuff, not the newly diluted crap that gets released now.
