I remember back when the "problem" was Heavy Metal. In school, only metal kids cut themselves, wore black, had depression, etc. etc. Emo is just nu metal gone gay.Comment

I'm glad ABC 4 is here to inform me about this dangerous cultural phenomenon!Comment

no one got my joke.
The point is rob halford is gay and dressing in leather and studs is gay. I won't even get into hair metal. So my point was heavy metal trend wasn't much less gay than the emo stuff.
I know all about the big 4. As thrash is my favourite genre of metal. I don't get into death or black very much, or at all. I like to at least make out most of the lyrics.

point taken. Priest was always a little bit before my time. I really didn't get into heavy metal until around 86 (though I did like some of the lighter metal like AC/DC and the scorpions). but I do like some priest songs. Just not a band I would own any albums of, just have some mp3's on my hdd.
I'm not sure how much leather people actually did wear in the early 80's. It's not something I could afford even if I wanted to. I as levis and concert tshirts. But I do remember some teens wearing some studs (studds in leather for those who don't know what studs are).
And later on you had glam. But even though they all wore makeup, the fands didn't thankfully.

What exactly does this have to do with Mormons? The entire state isn't Mormon, you know.
ACK!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!Comment

Old man alert! 
hair metal aside that was a really good time to be alive in terms of metal. I think I got my first Metallica cassette in '95.
Yeah, some people really got into the look of metal and it become a fashion first music second scenario. Punk befell the same fate but to a much greater degree.Comment

I got you beat. Except for the cutting and gender bending, this sounds like me and the group I hung out with in the 60's.Originally posted by bipolarbear

Teens tends to be emotional. They can be depressed at times; dark and brooding. It's not the end of the world.
..of course that self-cutting bit is a bridge too far.Comment

Emo kids should just bloody well cheer up
