7. Angsty music listened to by sullen kids wearing vintage clothing.

9. Argh! I forgot the vintage clothing part!

Extra points given if the vintage clothing includes an old western shirt or an old "little-league" style athletic tshirt, with number and name on the back.

10. crappy music made by really poorly dresses kids

Now I'm a big fan of melancholy music: Goth, Darkwave, Shoegazer, Ambient

but Emo lacks the imagination and creativity of these genres. That are just a bunch of whiny spoiled brats

12. Oh, that's one thing my link doesn't mention...

It's a genre that will get a lot of condescention sent its way at the mere mention of it.

11. Everybody Move Over.

13. Here's a really stupid joke I heard,

"I wish my lawn was more emo...so it would cut itself."
