I don't think that Morrissey was emo, just miserable.

i'd be more inclined to say Placebo were more emo.

Since you guys brought up Morrissey, what was the title of the song from the '80s (I think) that had the lyrics "I want to be loved"? I'd give you more but that's all I can remember.

I think it was "How soon is now?" and it was The Smiths

Oh, the Smiths! Could've sworn it was Morrissey. Thanks Klepto. BTW, this is Texas emo:

I didn't know one of the Village People was emo!

That was a picture of me taken last year at a friend's daughter's bat mitzvah. I was very depressed. I had forgotton to cut the buns out of my leather chaps.

I was kidding, the smiths were the second biggest mope group I could think of next to the Cure and they were too obvious.

no I need to go cut myself.


placebo is not emo by the way. at least not in the sense that I see it. Bright Eyes is emo. Aqualung is emo.

when I eventually grow up I want a big ole handlebar moustache like that. I wonder if it will be a big chick maganet. I know it will attract a certain male aspect but, so long as they look but don't touch, I can live with it.
