I wrote this last night, hence the references to being a bit drunk, but my internet was being crappy, so I couldn't post it until now.
Don’t worry, this post isn’t me being emo, nor is it another of my interminable ‘Ben attempts to analyse pop culture and fails’ posts. No. Instead I just thought I’d recount, in my drunken state, a story I was told today by one of my friends.
The friend in question has a job which requires him to work with children, and the other day he and a co-worker were teaching a 9 year old boy. When they were practising something particularly difficult the co-worker started to tease my friend and the boy in a good natured sort of way.
After a while the kid lost patience and retorted with the following:
Boy: Shut up! You… er… Goth!
The adults start giggling.
Boy:Actually no… you’re worse than a Goth, you’re an EMO!
At this point my friend and his co-worker start giggling harder.
Friend: What’s an emo then?
Boy: An emo is the worst. It’s a cross between a GOTH and a GAY
…
Such insight from one so young…
