The following is from some emo supporter that chases around youtube ragging on everyone that has a problem with emo. His letter was in response to a comment and letter from me, below his letter you'll see my response and point
So basically, you hate the people who are taking your music away from you? Maybe if you wrote better music, you wouldnt have to worry about people taking away your money. Do wahtever you want, i dont care. If you love it, then go for it and make your music. But if they like making music, then who gives a shit? Im sure not all of them are in bands JUST for the profit. Im sure a lot of them actually love to play despite if you hate their music or not.
And wow. Sure. Teenagers might be a depressed bunch. Are you telling me youve never been depressed? and don't tell me that you have had real problems to be depressed over. Im sure a lot of them DO have problems to be depressed over. And just because they arent getting raped every day by their dad doesnt give them a reason not to be sad.
Look at the shit in this world. People hating others for their fashion or music? Yeah im sure realizing how much society is shit can make anyone down sometimes. Its no reason to hate them.
No one likes trends dude. But if its a trend, it will die out. And hating them for looking like "fagS" isnt a good reason either. Let them play their music if they love it, and you play your music. Youre still going to have supporters. And a lot of people that like the music might not like it because of fashion. Sure they might like it because some of it is sad, but you know what. Theres sad shit in every music no matter what it is.
At least something sad actually has substance rather than most pointless lyrics about getting high because people resort to drugs and drinking to deal with shit they don't want to fix, then it builds up on everyone else.
I get what you're saying, but i just dont get how you and thousands of others can actually hate a person for how they look or for the sake of the music. Hating anyone is pretty immature, but id have more understanding for hate of someone who actually did something to you, such as killing someone you love. As opposed to someone who is getting more money off of kids attending their shows.
My response
hahahaha, you don't get it at all do you? The goal of corporate pop culture is to strive for mediocrity. A musicians credidation is no longer based in talent more or less the number of records sold. Do you honestly think the world would be a better place if songs like "my humps" where cherished bits of musical expression? I am anti-pop culture for that very reason. And as far as depression goes yea I was a suicidal teen, and I wouldn't have appreciated someone exploiting that fact to make me buy clothing and records. My hatred steams not from these kids being mindless followers of the latest trend, but the corporate monsters that are tugging at the strings behind it. The part you clearly don't see. Sadly neither do most of the people that hate emo. And no it's not about money, it's about music. And what happens in 20 years when there is no such thing as a true musician anymore because it's all become a business instead of a passion? Look at the decline of musicianship in pop culture from the early days of recording, to present day. Tell me you don't see the pattern of decline here.
Thats alright though, if you really want to live in a world where your personality is prescribed to you by your government and it's corporate sponsors, then be my guest and keep riding that band wagon. I'm going to fight for what I know is right. Which is a world that allows people to think for themselves, and not being brainwashed or manipulated into believing they are rebellious or cool or fitting in by conforming.
