I agree entirely, yet would it be as beautiful without evoking our deeper feelings of terror and dread? It's different than the "emo" poems of today because it's written by a brilliant writer who knew how to tell a gripping story. Some teenage pussy loser isn't going to be able to get that kind of real emotion through their work. The best they manage is:


Bleeeech.

I think an important point to make regarding the thread is that art doesn't necessarily have to be good to be art. The shit on the stick is art if someone calls it art. Whether or not it means anything to anyone, gets any kind of point or aesthetic value across, it's still art. It's just shit. Just because these poems are in the same category as other great poems doesn't mean they can't be way over in the shit end of the spectrum.

Now, if they're actually working to accomplish something or make their lives better, or even just looking at the good parts of life that are already there, then it's different. But wallowing in self-pity brings nothing but contempt from many people.

There is nothing wrong with being emotional, but showing it through image is not the way to do it. Poetry is a good way of releasing the pain and so is cutting your wrists, but I think that's retarded. There were many, many, many "emo" Artists though the ages who have gone there and have came back. It's a phase that should stop.

this has become such a massive part of my grand-ol' philosophy o' life 'n' such. If the group of people we are talking about isn't hurting anyone, leave them alone. Don't be tripping all up in their grills. Still, I'm not saying they're all fine and dandy people. There's something wrong with everyone on this planet, and it just so happens that emos(?) and other sad people make it more apparent. I think they (and ahelluvalott of other people) could do with a little "Coach Carter" tough love rant.

otherwise: emo =\= perfect,
you (and everyone else) =\= perfect

so shut your dickhole

Some people just need something to express their selves.But yea they suck and should be sent to Sudan.

People have a problem with making their own style, and people that is taking pictures and painting art just can't be gangsters.

they're stupid.


i feel kinda like that, but if they won't try to find reason for their lives, well, idk how to finish that besides kill yourself.

as for the fashion, w/e. but srsly, a lot of times people have it much worse than them, but they get by. these people don't even try, they're cowards, and really stupid. it's like they see tragedy, don't understand it, and try to think they have it. wtf. some people are just stupid.
