I Must Be Emo

Alright, this is not the original video I was told about by over a year ago. But, I am truly not going through hundreds of the same-ish videos on YouTube to find it. And I am posting this because now that I have already had to get a YouTube account to post the previous one, there will be a lot more of this. I laughed at this when I didn't even understand what Emo was. But, I already knew Hawthorne Heights sucked. That much I was sure of. This video is used unironically in that news report previously posted here. I realized some time ago that I was emo in high school. But, back then we called it goth. And it was when Marilyn Manson was original(ish). Back before My Chemical Romance started stealing from his make-up case. It was when we were made fun of for not having been listening to Bauhaus in 1983 when we were three. That was before AFI stole Apoptygma's whole look and got new second generation versions of his vintage synth setup since they couldn't afford the originals. But, again, and I feel I have to respond to this because of what so many people say to me in public these days: I am not emo. Nope, I was me, before emo ever was. So really, emo is just copying me. So fuck off.
