So, how do you spot an Emo?
- wears black most of the time. (but you don't need to know that...)
- hair always falls to an eye, giving them that "one-eyed" cyclops looks. It's glued too with high brand epoxy so it always stays in place for inconvenience's sake. The hair is usually black. Sorry, no blond emos. Albino emos are hard to find nowadays and are considered as an endangered specie by the National Biological Institute of Engendered, erm...Endangered species.
- are huge fans of My Chemical Romance and any type of music/noise falling into their category. Even poetry with the word "death"(or any other word with similar connotations) in it. Ex: "My Lamentations on the Death of Cheese. Mmmm...yum."
- Thinks their lives are more miserable than others. (Oh, come on, look at all the starving children all over the world!!! Or worse, LOOK AT ME!!!!)
- They seem to have an affinity for black and white stripes......favorite animal must be a Zebra, or any other similarly black and white striped animal in the world.
- They tend to slit their wrists a lot. (But if you're rich or coño, try the hobby of drowning in the bathtub instead.....but please try to clean-up afterwards. bathtubs can't clean themselves, you know.)
- This space reserved. Contact your ad manager to place ad.
- They hang out in bookstores, doin' nothing........flippin' the pages, pretending to be literate...Infecting others with their Emo-ness.....
- Most of them are artists by the way. (OMG. I'm an artist!!! not.)
- They have a love for cosmetics...especially if it's a black eyeliner, or anything with the shade of, and/or comprising the colors of: Black, black, black, black, black, black, black....and fuschia for that flawless glow.
- In Philippines, they always hang out near, beside, or above, and sometimes IN an estuary (kanal). There is no Scientific and Psychological explanation for this erratic behavior. But one girl from Naga explained that it is a primitive tendency, like that of cave men, to always guard his watering hole from invaders. The primitive human always use the "I'm so miserable than thou" technique (a technique used before fire was discovered) to deter any animals from entering his territory. The technique is rendered more effective by the technique-tor by uttering unespicable groans of misery, which would cause any animals with pitch sensitivity to die on their spot upon hearing the horriffic sounds. That being said, the ancient man's EMO technique always works.
