Emo People

I dislike them very much. All they do is whine and look sad and depressed over everything. I bring this up because I have to deal with Emo people on a daily basis in the house I live in and it is starting to wear on me. I understand people get depressed sometimes, but these people get depressed like it's there job. There are the general tool bags who just mope around all day acting anti-social with a chip on their shoulder. Then there are the grand emperors of douchebaggery with their ultra tight pants with the metal studded belt, converse shoes, some tragically hip and faded band t-shirt from an era gone by who they need to say they like in order to be part of the clique that claims it isn't a clique. I love it. It's a counter culture that shuns all other cliques without realizing or at the very least not admitting that they are one. I try to stay away from the latter (especially when they crowd like vultures around that God damned DDR machine), but the former are sometimes hard to not interact with. Most emo kids have nothing to be emo about; I don't understand how depression is a fad. They walk down the street with their ipod on and the newest hooded sweatshirt from Spencer's or hot topic going my life sucks, interesting.
I especially can't stand those of which are so anti-social they feel like to get themselves known that they have to shoot up a school. This statement seems obvious, but really think about it. I can't make any friends so I am going to kill them and then myself. Oh, wonderful just because you can't make friends or be social you need to kill them. Everyone is awkward or uncomfortable in social settings at some point, but really....really, enough to murder in cold pre-meditated blood. I wish those type of people would just off themselves no reason to drag others down with you. I understand that there are deeper psychological issues, but still. It is sickening to me that we give comfort and understanding to those who hurt innocent people without batting an eye. We come up with various excuses such as he/she wasn't loved or hugged enough as a child. Gimme a break stop pushing the responsibility off of the person and onto society. Societal issues do have an effect on everybody, but this type of thinking is shrugging off self-responsibility and allowing excuses for such behavior. This type of over-nurturing of people has brought the degradation of self-responsibility. It lends to the excuse of "Oh it wasn't me it was because I played violent video games or watched Mtv too much..", how about you just lack self control and feel self-responsibility isn't that important anymore because society has allowed it. Take some ownership for your actions, enough of this welfare/nanny state defense. I realize that this post got serious and heavy quickly, but that's how I roll. Dramatic tangents linked to the original point, but not quite there.
