So, yeah, I went to a high school film festival tonight, and I observed the local population of teenagers...
There are times when it's okay to be "emotional" or "EMO" as THEY put it. This of course means being depressed and despondant or angsty. There are occasions when overboard "Emo"-tions are acceptable and forgivable. Nay, even times when Sympathy is garnered.
But by fucking god, when I see a bunch of god damn teens wearing freakin' BLACK MASCARA, black clothing, and enough chains to make a prison warden Jealous, and spewing crap like "OHHH the WORLD SUCKS AND WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE".....I go over and I ask them..."Okay. Why does it suck? The world I mean? ANd be specific because there's a lot of things that suck. Your mom, for instance, probably sucks dicks and chows on rugs for a living, but we're not talking about that. What makes the world suck for you?"
Then they answer, "There's suffering in the world! People are dying in Africa and Iraq!" Oh. Oh HO! I have the answer for them. Ohhh I swear I'll say this to'em too.
"Look over at that alley. See that? Chances are? Something died in there. A Cat, a Dog, a rat, something. HELL, SomeONE probably died there., and I swear to god? If you keep up this crap? I'm going to see to it that YOU DIE IN THERE." Why? If it's to pick up a chick? There's better ways, like alcohol!
