Do your parents know what 'emo' means? Jan 23 2009, 07:33 AM
Just interested if any of your parents understand what 'emo' is at all? If so what is their understanding of this confusing term?

Well they dont know propely but they like comedians and alot of comedians are now doing stuff on selfharming and very stereo typical so I think they are believing comedians as oposed to the papers.

No, my mother doesn't.

Sometimes I think she isn't willing to learn, and gets annoyed when I correct her that it is a genre of music, and the fashion is emo.

Well, that is my belief of what emo and scene is, not sure what you guys think.

I think my mum has a tiny bit of an idea but she tends to state it by the genre of Music.

She hasn't said much about "Emo" itself she usually just asks me if "So and so band" are "Emo".

Hehe yea I agree ^ The aspects from the goth and punk subcultures of the past are clear in the whole recent emo scene.

my mom knows. my dad has a clue on it based on what my mom knows. i always tell them that all the stereotypical stuff in papers and on the news is all bull. they believe when i say that. i think my parents accept well. my dad does not really understand why i were really skinny jeans but i guess most parents don't really get it either.

I know its not parents but...


Other day one of my sisters (who's eight) comes up to and goes 'are you emo?' I ask why she says 'cos you dress weird' I then ask do you know what emo is, she replies with 'someone at school told me it means you are emotionaly disabled'


Its like oof! :/


But my other sister (who is six) loves it, she looks up to me so much and always wants me to do her make up and hair etc when she comes visit which is sweet :) she even customises her clothes.. she gonna look cool as f**k when she's grown up :D
