How to Be An EMO Part 2
The EMO fashion isn’t that hard for a beginner to grasp, the wardrobe mainly consists of:
Black tees with hoods (preferable with band name or logo, to be worn on hot weather to show how non-conformist you are)
Black tees with short sleeve (preferable with band name or logo, to show off your cut writs)
Black/White shoes/runners (preferable with mismatched show lace to show how non-conformist you are)
Skinny jeans (preferable black or any dark color that can be passed as black)
Apart from the hairstyle that we have already covered in part 1 and clothing variation form the above, glasses too can be included (most often with square dark rims)
EMO Social life
An EMO’s social life mainly revolves around MySpace. MySpace is badly built social networking website offering, user-submitted network of EMO and Wannabe. Basically an EMO is also a MySpacewhore
Benefits of being a MySpacewhore:
Upload your personal information to allow stalkers and pedophiles to locate you easily.
Add pictures of Japanese anime characters and say that your horrible face is not internet friendly;
Sprinkle gigantic pictures all over the your page, so that it cannot even be view properly in the largest screen resolution on a standard computer;
Adding flashing Gif pictures to go with the another flashing background picture that would make the viewer‘s eyes go like this @.@
Add the loudest and most annoying song you can imagine and 4-5 videos, then ensure that they are all simultaneously launch just as the page is fully loaded.
Call everyone a nerd but get offended with someone calls you one;
Post your EMO pose shot (how to snap one, covered in part 1)
Add random people to your friends list;
Talk about random things and don’t follow any grammar rules;
tALk LiKe tHIs;
Comment on someone’s picture after they have left you a comment on yours even if you don’t think that they look “sOOOoo hAWt”
Leaving a short comment on your friend’s page with simple question like” how’s your day?” when you have just came back from school/work with your friend and have a pretty good idea of how the crappy day went.
Leaving crappy messengers on your friends page every 10 minutes and on the next day, ask them “if you seen the message I left you on your page”.
Positive use of MySpace:
As a married man, find hot girls to make friends with;
Making fun of MySpace
Making fun of Facebook
Cyber bullying, makes little EMOs cry
Spying on your Ex
Cheating on your husband
Being a jerk
Now that you are on your way in becoming one, you need to find a EMO nick which often looks like this : **xo{yournamehere}ox** or something like this yoUR_naME_hERE. So that you can use it in MySpace or MSN.
EMO writings
An EMO is never complete without keeping a diary and writing shitty poems; you can start an online diary with blogger, Livejournal , xangga…etc, so that you can write EMO post and rant about random things and assume people would give a shit.
Here’s an example of an EMO entry:
Dear DIE-ary
Mood: Apathy. My life is crashing down on me, my parents hate me, my friends hate me, my girlfriend hates me, even my boyfriends hate me. I swear, why can’t she love me, am I that unlovable? Why does she have to fall in love with a jerk and not me? My life is just a black abyss, you know, it is dark and it is suffocating. Grabbing hold of me and tightening its grip, tighter than a pair of my sister’s jeans, which look great on me by the way. My parents just don’t get me; they think I’m gay just because they saw me kiss a guy. Well, a couple of guys. But I mean it is the 2000s, can’t 2 or 4 guys make out with each other without being gay. I mean chicks dig this kind of thing anyways, just look at two cowboys in Brokeback Mountain. No one cares so I’ll be just off slitting my writs all the way up to my shoulders and taking my beloved painkillers with cheap beers while listening to all those cool bands I have. (That you never heard of) I don’t know diary, sometimes I think you are the only one that understands me, you’re my best friend….......I <3 you.
[Explanation of “<3”]
EMO on the internet tend to use a less than sign ( < ) and number three ( 3 ) to create a heart ; they use "
But as a matter of fact, this sign looks very much like a vagina attached to a pair of testicles.
Note:
It is a common misconception that EMOs don’t love; they actually do love and actually they crave for love but they think they are hated by everyone that is why they are such misleading creatures. The one who doesn’t love anything are GOTHs .
Acknowledgement
I am afraid this all I have time for in this post, I have left out the EMO music and how to write shitty poems part, but I will try to cover it in my future post. I would like to thank Anna, Evie’s sister for being so kind in providing me with all sort of information on the emo fashion sense in helping me with this post and to Evie too for introducing me to her sister. The “How to be an Emo”post is not intended to badmouth anyone but just serve as a introduction to the EMO subculture. No cyber bullying little EMOs was done in the process of making this post. Now I will leave you will the world’s first ever EMO, try guess who might that person be before scrolling down ….

How To Be an EMO Part 1
Origin: Some people believed that EMO is a culture stemmed from GOTHS, which stemmed from PUNK culture. But this is highly debatable because there is a vast difference between GOTH and EMO: GOTH kills kitten for fun; EMO cries when kitten is killed; EMO wear tight pants; GOTH wears ripped pants. By numerous comparisons, those of a stereotype EMO have more in common with a Durian than a GOTH.
HOW TO BE AN EMO Part 1
The number one way to be an EMO is self harm, and the coolest way to self harm is slitting your own wrist and that have been covered in the previous post. Please refer to it HERE
Next, EMO enjoys dark places and one of their favorite spot is their bathroom. Hence they derive the enjoyment of taking overly flashed pictures of the reflection of themselves. This has proven another fact, the fact that EMO are HORRIBLE PHOTOGRAPHERS. So to become an EMO you need to camwhore like one. First thing you need to get the hairstyle right; the fringe must cover 1/2 to 7/8 of your face at all times and it must be jet black. If you have trouble dyeing your hair black, a black marker will work just as well. Stand next to a mirror and snap the picture and also remember always to use flash. Most importantly never show your full face, just show part of it.
Thirdly, the next coolest thing an EMO can do is bitching. Bitching mainly focus on parents, lecturers, employers and girlfriends. Making up crazy stories all on your own is even cooler but they absolutely must be traumatic, which is why EMO is so misunderstood. This takes creativity.
Don’t worry if you are less creative, I have listed a couple of bitching to help you get started. Remember practice makes perfect.
YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT ME, I HATE YOU!!!!!!
I DON’T CARE IF I AM 8, HE/SHE LOVES ME MORE THAN HIS/HER HUSBAND/WIFE AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!!!
I DON’T CARE IF WE ARE BOTH MALE/FEMALE, WE LOVE EACH OTHER AND YOU CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!!!
THIS IS HOW I LOOK, WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO CHANGE ME???!!!!
I DON’T CARE IF HE/SHE IS A DRUG JUNKIE, HE/SHE UNDERSTANDS ME!!!
(Insert lecturer/sibling/girlfriends’ name here) IS RETARDED!!!!
YOUR RULES ARE GAY!!!!
I HATE MY LIFE, WHY AM I BORN LIKE THIS!!!
YOUR FACE!!!!!!
Alright, that is it for the time, do come back for part 2 where I will be teaching you how to dress up with an EMO, Songs EMO listens to and how to write shitty poems like an EMO.
How to Slit Your Wrist the Right Way
This blog will be placed into a cryogenic state to give way to this blogger's dream that is to write a short story before he fucking dies. So basically the post here would rather be bits and pieces of my up and coming short story.But if you are craving for some of my entries and journal like post, I've set up a page onFacebook where you will find my unpublished post, memoirs, dream journals and sometimes forgotten posts there. And maybe from time to time, there will be a fresh new blog post posted here http://www.facebook.com/middlefingertechnologyThis isn't the end of this blog but it is just taking a whole different direction.As for the Slit Your Wrist Gallery and suicide notes, you can easily share your wrist cutting pictures and suicide notes on:
"Calling all practicing wrist cutter! I am creating a new gallery for those who love to slit their wrist therefore I am collecting pictures of wrist being slit or wounds resulting from wrist slitting. If you could send it those pictures and your name too, I can add it in the gallery, just so the others can see how cool you really are. "

YEAR ZERO
Trent Reznor, one-man architect of industrial rock act Nine Inch Nails is back and X is going all bananas over new album concept Year Zero. I don’t really know how to begin to explain NIN’s new marketing strategy but one thing I can say is Trent Reznor is a genius, NIN purposely leak their music by leaving USB drives and messengers on concerts t-shirt around the world, while fans try to figure out the hidden messages that would lead them to websites which contains the new songs from Year Zero. This is such a conceptual album and I really like it. You can go and read all about it at nin.com, yes Trent Reznor is a blogger too.

Nothing beats a night out at the local BP gas station learning how to do some stupid stunts…wukakakakka. Ok la, actually I have been trying this stunt for weeks and tonight I finally was able to hold it together for 10 seconds after two weeks and I was fortunate enough to catch it on video too. So here you go - X doing the macho twirl on his friend’s BMX.
After two weeks of practice, I was able to hold it for ten seconds without falling down; but that was a price to pay in learning and performing the stunt. The bicycle’s spoke keeps rubbing the back of my two months old Puma and look at the condition it is in now.
FYI, we weren’t trespassing la, my friend’s family owns this gas station..wukakakakkaa.
