You sure like to act like it's a bad thing to be risky. I may be a terrible introvert and may avoid most risk-making situations to my best extent but even I know you can't live in your comfort-zone all the time. If they wish to dress like such, then good for them, it's what THEY want. They're the ones who have the courage to look like the arctic fox among red foxes. It doesn't really affect you or the other "95"% of people you claim to hate emos with you. I'd rather hang out with the emo stereotype of whiney teenagers than the intolerant person you're making yourself out to be.
*Edit: Good for them for being what they want to be like. Good for you for being what you want to be like. Shame to either of you who would ridicule the other for having a different point of view.
I don't some times I have to do think i do not like. its part of life. bus choosing to make your self a target is just silly.
I don't "hate" emos, I just don't "like" them, well most of them. seeing as i have not met all of them.
They can be who they want, once they are of age to do so, when they are not old enough to, its the parents calls in the end.
Call it courage, if they want to dress that way, go right on. I just hope they know what they are setting them selfs up for.
Like I said, some people like me, others don't.I don't kiss up, and I won't talk to people I don't like unless my job demands it.
yes, I am intolerant, I tell it like I see. (but i might not see it all) Yes I have gotten my self in trouble doing so, but I not about to lie or play nice. You ask me a question, Ill answer it how I feel.
Thats why one of my co-workers who really (all jokes aside) spent $10,00USD on her teeth didn't talk to me for a week. I told her it was absolutely stupid and completely irresponsible waste of money.
When she asked how they looked, I told her like teeth, and a waste of money.
You know, I keep hearing this "to be non-conformist" motivation attributed to people in different subcultures, but other than punks of the 70's and a few dumb highschool kids I really don't think that's anyone's actual reasoning. It's just an easy thing for people like you to pin on them so that you can make more rude comments about them without actually having any idea what they're about.
I could care less what the person is about, when they join a group they are taking on all positives and negatives of it, thats like saying I have no clue what the people who are in the Aryan brother hood are about and they are misunderstood.
