The Age of Emo and The Trendy-depressives

It seems that it has become fashionable to be depressive. I can't turn on my tv or walk outside without seeing funky Emo hair (aka. Fetuccini hair) or individuals with such a screwed up sense of fashion that you wish that fathers should be entitled to a semenal refund. It's always the damn hair that gets on my nerve. I am unable to grasp that these people don't grimace at their own reflection and put an effort into looking just a bit acceptable. And the trousers! My God the trousers. Tight around the legs and baggy around the arse. What the fuck is that all about? Gay Italian designers turn straight at the sight of them. Something else I notice, is the hygiene; It is my impression that these people simply refuse to shower or wash their clothes. Want to be Emo? Fine, just fucking shower on a regular basis and people won't immigrate to avoid you.But all in all I think that extreme fashion statements such as Emos and Goths encourages bad hygiene. Save money by not paying water bills and invest in razor bladesr.

What really made me aware of this trendy-depression were the tv-shows and movies. All the protagonists are tainted by issues and complexes; Look at the show 'Smallville', while I'm a big fan of Superman, I can't help but hate that show. Everything about it is fucking emo; the theme song, the characters, everything. I keep hoping the season finale is teenage Clark Kent hanging himself with a Kryptonite rope. Hell, even the whole new Superhero franchise is Emo: Spider-man, Hulk, Superman. Watch the movies, and you realise they are Emo. Be aware that by taking your kids to see these movies, you are indirectly telling them that heroism is overrated and that it's permissible to become an Emo cunt.

So what is it with this social phenomenon? Are people really that miserable solely because the world is such a terrible place? The answer is NO. Trendy-depression has emerged due to people's carefree existence. When you don't have a problem or care in your life, then that per se is a problem.
Fuck, sometimes I wish that I was Emo and all my troubles were make believe...I think I better go cut myself a bit to soothe the pain.
