Local news outlet shows concern about the "emo" movement. Hilariously enough though every example of emo culture they use are actually jokes poking fun at emo.

holy friggin crap! how can I not upvote? See kids, this is what happens to high school cheerleaders who go on to get "communications" degrees and thier boyfriends who slide through high school with a C average and then go on to take criminal justice at the local junior college. Eventually they get together again and make beautiful, beautiful unintentional comedy together.

I wonder if they realised that the 'I must be emo' song was satire?

Wow, and it's ment to be a serious news report? Emo kids are a messed up bunch but they are on their way out. And I think deadundead is thinking of the late 80's goth movement. Emo kids are beyond that.

I couldn't help but laugh the entire way through. Do they realize that everything they pointed out about how dangerous emo is was actually satire making fun of it?

A point system, the more points you get the cooler you are? Are you serious?

As pointed out earlier- comedy gold!

Like nibiyabi, upvote at the ostrich.

Say it with me: "emo" is stupid. Worrying about emo is stupid-er.

In the end it's just the same clique-based teen angst that's been playing itself out in pop culture for quite some time now.
Elvis & rock n' roll, punk rock, ozzy, death metal, goths, marilyn manson etc etc etc. Retrospectively, all of these things look somewhat tame, and eventually the big fuss made over them looks downright silly. This video would be exhibit A.

Did she not realize that every single product and website she mentioned was a parody? C'mon. Real Emos don't actually have checklists and instructional cutting boards... oh shit... or do they?

even more disturbing than the kids in this vid is the fact that the station actually considered this news.

looking into it, I found out that the station is based out of North Dakota. Makes a little more sense at least...

Ordered this shirt for my sis. Not that she's emo, she just likes Care Bears.

She still doesn't return my calls.

Hey, you can STILL e-mail the newsteam who introduced this story and see if they're interested in maybe re-addressing this story:

Smith, Milo WDAZ News 6pm/10pm Anchor & Producer msmith@wdaz.com
Osborne, Tami WDAZ News 10pm Anchor & Reporter tosborne@wdaz.com

or

Johnson, Jim L. - Production Director - jljiv@wdaz.com
Steele, Peter - Production Director - psteele@wdaz.com

let them know about THIS site, and maybe what you think about their stations' inanity, no matter how many years/months old this report is.

Not insanity. Inanity.

Maybe it'll make it onto their top story again!! OR DON"T!!! WHO CARES!!! EMO!!

PS: MARINEGUNROCK if you play TFC2, i killed u the other day. If not, someone plays under your moniker which also references this site. G'day. U killed me 2. *3
