Socially Accepted? Dec 22 2008, 12:53 PM

Now the term 'emo' is pretty popular and your parents probably have some idea of what is means do you feel you are more socially accepted than say a few years ago? Bear in mind even though more people know what 'emo' means these days a lot of the time all they know is false media junk. In my opinion now the term is more widespread, as a subculture/stereotype or whatver you want to call emo we have become less socially accepted.

We accept one another even if no one else accepts us so at least we can find acceptance.

Hm no I don't feel more socially accepted than I've ever been, people have just grown older and more mature so they choose to ignore me instead. Although the medias, as far as I have encountered, is trying, it's not a lot though, to make a different picture on the alternative youth, but I don't know if it's more than they ever have done...

For me it depends on where i am...being in England i only get looks of disgust and mabey a few insults from chavs but people usually just ignore me...at school the "popular" people just think its for attention so choose to ignore me but my friends even though they are not stereotypically "emo" accept and love me :P However when i say with my family in Scotland its completely different...i can be just walking down the street dressed in what i would call normal clothes (skinny jeans, band-tee, converse, backcombed hair and eyeliner) i will most definately get at least 3 death threats and many objects thrown at me...though this may just be cause my family lives in an extremly rough part of Scotland...(at least one stabbing a week - just glad its not me)... But i think that the media gives us a lot of stick...mainly about how we dress and cutting...but in my school chavs are afraid of the goths so just leave them along...it does also help that a very large majority of the school year below me is what i would class as emo...:P

My parents just accepted it and moved on I guess xD My brother is sort of iffy about it all, he uses it in arguments but generally doesn't care... At school it was highly unaccepted...to the point of scary chavs threatening us...and claiming to have knives.. [funny times xD me and my mate were told not to go in to school...] and meeting chavs in parks to have it out on one another...xD But, it was mainly the chavs that disliked it... Away from school most people in my village, mainly the younger generation disike me..but not the elder generation for some reason. Theres me and two goths in our village..we rock. But all the other teens go drinking and trashing the place where as I am content with my music and walking and such xD At college, which is a heck of a long way away from my house, about 99% of the people are emo/goth/scene/punk.. and those that aren't accept everyone else. I even have chav friends ^^ Where I live its...not really old fashioned but people stand by their strict up bringing, religious beliefs. Mainly in our village it is families who have lived here for many generations and I guess my family is pretty well known and I am not the first in my family to be different xD

Some people don't have a clue! Oh and I guess you could say emo has elements of the punk and gothic culture.

I feel emos are definitely more socially accepted. I look around and I see more people dressing the way I do and I feel I can be more comfortable and stuff.

Why fit in when you can make your own society?

I think it actually depends on where you live. In Puerto Rico, emos are not really accepted at all, tho there's a lot of us. Personally, i think it's because of the whole "cutting" thing, tho not all emos do it. People run away from me, mothers hide their lil kids when i walk their way...i dont think that qualifies as being "socially accepted" As far as emos being more accepted than goths,i think its true. People see goths as more of a threat, while emos are just something to poke fun at to them...
