My friend’s ten year old son has a hair-style that is increasingly becoming a detriment to his ability to exercise any visual cognition - to put it bluntly, he is approaching looking like he is EMO. Or at least that’s what one of the older kids in church told him, but our innocent ten year old has no idea what EMO actually is. Now, I could sit him down and try to explain the deep tortured and twist place that is the location of EMO, but I think this video does the job SO much better.
Except we couldn’t possibly let him watch it as it has a few rude words in it which of course I do not approve of in the slightest. Naughty stuff aside, this is the definitive guide to what EMO is (and isn’t). You have been warned. Enjoy!!!!

My 11 year old nephew sports the same shaggy hair, and his mother, my sister, protested continuously, that was until my nephew’s teacher made stink about it. My sister, offended that the teacher would stick her nose into my nephew’s hair (and question my sister’s mothering skills), fought so intensely for her son’s right to wear his hair long and unkempt that now he is forbidden to cut it for fear that the teacher might claim victory.

After four minutes, the questioning voice in my head became unbearable:
“why am I watching this? do I not realise that it’s 21 minutes long? who, apart from a clergyman, a civil servant, an unemployed person or a OAP would have time to sit and watch this? etc, etc”
I don’t need this EMO stuff. I’m down wi da yoof. I listen to Rachmaninoff.

Peter, in fact, I am even in the UK. I swear I am not stalking you. Just in Scotland for the holidays. Glad I found your blog.
