Is the name 'emo' anything to do with a comedian called 'emo phillips'? he always looked kinda grungy and depressed, as I recall.

'emo' is short for 'emotional', all the kids into it are supposedly depressed and obsessed with death - bunch of attention seekers if you ask me.

But according to the Daily Wail, emo is 'the music that's killing our kids' or some such bloody stupid attitude. There will be some music, and yes, Ian Curtis is a good example, where you can't separate the music (well, the lyrics) from the reality. But that doesn't apply to MCR. If the fans were the doom laden, suicidal, self-harming misery-freaks as the papers makes them out to be, would they have staged such a polite and well mannered protest outside the Hate mail's offices?

Seriously I have no idea where it is...my mum probably buried it somewhere as she had SUCH a problem with my goth-ness...(doesn't everyone's mum)
Goth as rebellion was a complete failure chez Baggy - much to my disgust my Mum took it all in her stride, even when I shaved the sides of my head and dyed my hair blue - but then as I have much older brothers who'd been into punk and heavy metal she'd already been through far worse :biggrin:

i'll be relieved if my daughter does all that sort of stuff, having done that myself (not the blue hair, although mrs alecetc did), rather than turning into a celeb-obsessed chavette who thinks urban music is anything other than music to watch paint dry by.
