I don't think anyone has had this on this forum, but I found it in another bands forum and it's pretty funny

THE FOUR BASIC STEPS

Follow these guidelines and you'll be well on your way to being the first emo kid on the block:

1. Obtain a pair of black, thick-rimmed eyeglasses. Wear them at all times. Take multiple pictures of yourself wearing them with your webcam, and make sure to tilt them on your nose in a few of the pictures. Look as forlorn and desperate as possible in the pictures. If you know how, apply a few basic Photoshop filters to your images to give them an old, worn-out, decidedly "emo" look.

2. Obtain a Livejournal at all costs. This requires you to get a "code" from a current Livejournal user. If necessary, beg, plead, and offer sexual favors. Once you've secured a code, get someone else to design your journal or steal a design from someone else. When choosing a username, make sure it alludes to self-mutilation and has lots of X's in it.

3. Register an AIM screename. Again, it should optimally allude to self-mutilation and have multiple X's. Some examples: "x hidden scars" or "death x becomes x her." It is also acceptable to use the word "core" liberally in your name, such as "girl x core" or "loser x core." Once you've registered a screename, frequent the AIM chat rooms and talk about how much better your taste in music is than everyone else's. If someone mentions Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes/Desaparecidos, you MUST say "Conor is so hot. He rox my sox. RawR."

4. Sexuality. If you aren't already, you must become bisexual or homosexual. Sorry folks, this rule is not negotiable.

Congratulations! You're well on your way to becoming an emo kid.

id like to point out to be Hardcore you don't have to be straight edge, and to be emo you dont necessarily have to be a homo or bi, you just have to be a major whining pussy.

I didn't say that you're emo, just that the one point did coincide well with your personality.

Ignignokt · Post by **Ignignokt** » 8/18/2003, 2:19 pm

thats because i actually study music theory and things like that. most people just listen to something and say "no i dont like it" cause they dont like how it sounds. if you were to look at all the components of a song, however, you would possibly come to a different conclusion.

but most people don't do that.

thats why i come off as an elitist. i dont just say i dont like good charlotte cause of the way they sound. i look at all the components and make a decision.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 8/18/2003, 2:21 pm

But you do judge other people's tastes. People can like what they like, whether you like it or not.

Besides, it was just a joke.

Ignignokt · Post by **Ignignokt** » 8/18/2003, 2:22 pm

i know that.

im just saying thats why i come off as an elitest, because i study the music rather than just saying "i do or don't like it"

Some people would rather not dissect the frog.

but to truly appreciate it, you have to.

you don't have to take any music classes to know when a song sucks or doesn't suck. seriously. or to truly appreciate music.
