emo ....

Thanks to Snidge I now have a clue to what emo is and what it is is not me.  I apparently am the antithesis of emo.  I do wear an earring but my earring of choice is so not emo.  That's about as close as I get.  Everyone you've ever seen working at Tower Records looks emo, multiple piercings, multiple earrings , tattoos, black glasses, t-shirts (preferably black) with heavy duty graphics or long ago cartoon characters, gap jeans with the cuffs rolled up, canvas sneakers, etc.  I am completely unfamiliar with the music associated with this style as well.  You name a band associated with emo and I will have never heard of them, except for the Shins.  I used to think I was fairly current culturally but I now realize that I am not even close.  I have negative emo-osity.  There is probably a law against being emo if you're over 30.  Since I am way beyond that I would probably end up in jail or just be considered a complete asshole.  emo people would never want to stand within 10 feet of me for fear that my non-emo vibe would rub off on them making them way less cool and a social pariah to boot, no longer able to set foot in the trendy clubs.  We wouldn't want that to happen.

Here are some links Snidge sent for my education.  See if you have any emo in you.
