Socially Accepted? Dec 22 2008, 12:53 PM

Now the term 'emo' is pretty popular and your parents probably have some idea of what is means do you feel you are more socially accepted than say a few years ago? Bear in mind even though more people know what 'emo' means these days a lot of the time all they know is false media junk. In my opinion now the term is more widespread, as a subculture/stereotype or whatver you want to call emo we have become less socially accepted.

I'd also like to throw in the question, "Are emo's more socially accepted than goths?"

This is pretty stereotypical for me to say, but I think although emo gets stick from the media, it's more accepted than goth because emo doesn't tend to be so extreme... or so I think, I can easily be proven wrong. But then with the media influence, it seems that emo is seen as something to be more wary of. Or something. Not sure this makes sense to be honest, I can't explain what I mean. :s

I think emo is more socially accepted then goth, but i think people can pick holes and taunt emo's more. I think also depends where you are; for example were I live nearlly everyone is something other then chav and where I study science and music is filled up with emo boys. I think me being emo has actually made me more accepted in the social network... also I am apperently a 'cute' emo girl. I asked what this was and its apeprently a cute lil emo girl who is not a threat to anyone, someone everyone likes which is thumbs up for me

where i live both are just about equally excepted the sterotypical "emo" has become nothing but a trend and i dont think that it really means anything to any of them except for a few..it's complicated to explain. idk how to explain it. it's just like a flash thing. "emo" one day, prep or jock the next.there are a few though who still have the whole traditional thing going on. Over here the media isn't really as big about the whole 'emo' thing as it seems to be in other parts of the world. It's just the internet that we ever really hear anything about the whole emo thing. Ya know like the " Emo Song" or the typical against emo lawnmower thing.Its stupid but in my opinion people can think and say what they want. It doesnt matter what people think or say about you. You are who you want to be and whether others like it or not then thats their problem...but thats just my opinion on the whole matter,

I think in my school a lot of the students from third year up are emo, goth or punk. Some of the chavs quite scared by us. A couple of them take things a bit too far and constantly harass us, ut they have been threatened with spiked wristbands down their throat and they seem to have shut up.

Here, being ned central, it's hard to be accepted.. Saying that go into certain parts town and there is load of emo/scene/goth/punk etc. people who just hang out, we all support each other if a comment is made or something. :) Theres a shopping centre that has alot of the sort of shops we'd like too it's great.

Where I'm from, If your not a 'country hick' and dont listen to country music, or if your not a 'city kid' who listens to rap and hip hop ect, your pretty much told to dissipear. thankfully, there is a small group of us that hang out, cause we get heaps if we try to 'mix' with any of the other... uhh... groups...

i think that as far as being socially accepted. if people walk by a kid thats in really nice bright name brand preppy clothes, they smile at them and maybe ask how they are. but when people walk past emo kids they either look the other way or give us mean looks. or thats how it is here. and as far as how im treated at school, before i was kind of mean and gave a few teachers h*ll and they were like "oh shes kick*ss." but as far as going out other than school theres not many other people like me. so people look at me like D: who the f*ck are you? are you satan? but im sure in bigger, better places people are a little more accepting than here. they dont even know the difference between emo and goth here. they say it as one word emogoth and its kind of hard to explain to a bunch of ignorent people what emo really is. *sigh*

^ yea people don't accept what they don't understand... and what the media has also made people " Understand" about emo is not good either.. so that does not make anything any better.. I try to explain to people that me being into the emo scene does not make me a depressed outcast -_- In my opinion , yes emos can have a lot of friends.. but being an emo is not exactly something that will attract a lot of people,at least not until the scene is better understood

yeah...people really just dont understand.but i mean they dont have to because when it comes in style theyll be like "oh wow she was that way the whole time..now i feel like sh*t for teasing her" and honestly i like being different and dont want that day to come.

Hopefully the more popular the emo scene becomes the more socially accepted it will become and more people will understand. However things could get worse...
