Here's a copy of what I sent Kerrang! over myspace regarding this absoloutley GHEY newspaper article. It's worse than you expect... so watch out.
Kerrang!, I hope you don't mind that I am going to whine my fucking ass off to you about the goddamn newspapers this country sells.
After coming home from ice skating this morning, I was not very happy to see the Daily Mail from yesterday lying open on my coffee table. I switched on Kerrang! without a glance at it, but eventuall my eyes wandered to the title and article staring up at me. "Forget gloomy, pale-faced and self-obsessed Goths, there's another darker cult for parents to worry about... EMOs". I myself am fucking disgusted. For one thing, not all Goths are like that. For another, Emo's get enough bazd publicity as it is.
As my eyes absorbed every word of that article with burning hate, I couldn't help but notice the quality of what this newspaper was actually saying. For god's sake, they sounded liek a bunch of fucking chavs from my school, putting the Adam and Andrew lyrics of "The Emo Song" into the newspaper, and also calling the likes of My Chemical Romance and Green Day emo. Who on fucking earth can make that huge mistake!?!?!?
Later in the article, it goes on to put chavs in a good light by saying how they're all "blonde and bouncy faced". Even later on, the newspaper goes on to slag off the life style of people like myself. Some people don't open their fucking curtains because they have huge rashes to the sun; open your fucking eyes.
What really gets my goat is the issue that the writer of this article presents. "Although Goths were from the same family tree as Punk, they are a lot less fun to be with. While I loved punk for its energy, Goths were too bloodless to lift a finger". HELLO?!?! I thought you were fucking off Emo's!!!! And after calling Green Day and My Chemical Romance emo, you need a bloody hearing test too. And after being called emo AND punk AND goth myself, I am litterally gagging up over this page in the daily mail.
This writer (which will remain un-named) also crushes the artistic hopes of those of us dedicated to the arts, including music. "Some pretty terrible emo poetry is offered on websites. A cartoonm of two emos has a bubble which says: "What rhymes with razor blade?"" For one thing, thats not even poety. Get it right. For another, poetry for some people is an outlet. They write what they feel. And another, I dance as Helena for my friends band, and it's all going great. How they can say all this without a shred of guilt is beyond me. Notice all this information in the paper is coming from a haters point of view.
To clear the matter up for the narrow-minded numbskulls that manage the general media in this country, not all emo's are as bad as you say. Because you only listen to what the general teen public has to say. "Don't go near them, they're so emo, they always slit their wrists". Not all emo's cut! It's just the sterotypes. It's just like not all gay people have aids. And nobody would put a huge fucking article about gay people being a threat in a newspaper. What makes emo's and goths and punks and stuff so different!?!?
Another hting that really pisses me off is the line "Emo's regard themselves as a cool, young sub-set of the Goths". NO THEY BLOODY WELL DON'T! They're trying to make a statement. They don't want to fit in. They don't want to be like the cool, preppy people that seem to rule everything this world offers today.
I personally think all this is disgusting. If they report on stuff like this in such a way, it'll only make the matter worse! There will be riots. Some people would get teased even more, and being one that is already, I don't particularly like the idea of that. Please Kerrang!, PLEASE get the fucking message that it's okay to be different out to the world. I am so pissed off about how the older population always think it's okay to abuse the next generation. They shouldn't. Especially as soon, we're gonna be in their position. We'll be dominating. So we could get back at them, now, or later, for as long as they fucking live.
And then my dad's girlfriend comes downstairs after I read the article. I was in a fucking rage, and she starts swearing and telling me to shut up. THATS the abuse some people can get for caring about music and art and everything. Then my dad laughs. This fucking news paper doesn't even take the time to think why people might consider suicide - 'cuz some people have it way worse than I do.
Now, if you excuse me, I think I'm going to go and murder the letters to the editor section of the daily mail.I won't end this message with my typical "So Long And Goodnight". The Daily Mail might see it and print off another article about how "emo's only rely on music to get them through the "darkest moments that nobody can imagine" of their lives".
So yeah, thats my huge rant over.
Sorry if I sounded like a right fucking posho.
Yazz
I'm ready to avenge anyone who is offended by this article (INCLUDING THE BANDS).

So yeah. I'm pissed off. Who agrees...? Post anything about haters or whatever here. If you wanna slag of mcr and shizzle alot more, you shouldn't even be here.
So Long And Goodnight...
