What little “Emo” I could bear to be subjected to was utter shite. I mean, really fetid, stinking, steaming shite of the most self-pitying variety. And the “kids” at this club were truly pathetic. Let’s call them the “pissygoths”. I’m afraid if I had to teach pissygoths each and every day of my professional existence, I’d be force to open up a can of derision on them myself.
Sounds like some one IS ABOUT TO BREAK!!!
Bruce_Daddy, quoting Linkin Park is cruel and needless.
I teach high school and I’ve never heard of emo music, nor have I ever encountered any “wastrel” fans. But any teacher worth their salt can find better targets for their wrath than angsty teenagers. That’s like nuking fish in a barrel. 
Up until now, I figured there was a guy out there named “Emo”.
I’d suggest that you don’t switch to teaching English. You know, until you learn about spelling and capitalization and paragraphs and stuff. And frankly, if you don’t like angst-ridden teenagers, don’t teach high school. I don’t like them either, frankly, and I’d rather lose several limbs than listen that sort of music, but then, I’m not teaching high school.
Brother of “Eno”?
Thanks for explaining it. I thought it had something to do with fans of Emo Phillips.

Dunno about that. According to what he said in his OP he is actively seeking these kids out and belittling them, not just coming here to rant. It reads like Severus Snape come to life.
That’s assuming he actually is a teacher, which is doubtful. What kind of teacher would come to a message board, ask for new ways to trash his students, and expect to get positive answers?
And if he IS a teacher, then perhaps it might not have been the wisest career choice ever made. “Gee, I can’t stand gothy self-pitying teens who listen to bad angsty music, so I’ll be a high school art teacher!” I mean, what were you THINKING?
I am just glad to have opened this thread and found out that it was not about abusing large flightless birds.
But emo hair is hot!!
Would this be a good place to mention that I fucking hate Dashboard Confessional?
I am vindicated, I am selfish, I am wrong… Then fucking shoot yourself, you whiny punk! Leave me your Mesa Triple Rectifier while you’re at it.
And that would be emu, not emo, so you needn’t have been worried!
It was premature to pile-on to the OP for anything other than spelling and grammar mistakes.
Since Husker Du, emo has changed to mean something much more than a branch of punk rock. Emo kids are today’s metal heads. They are anti-trend trendy, competitive between their ranks, and angsty beyond any margain of measurability. Typical teenager you say? No, emo kids are much, much worse. They are self-righteous, pompous, and pretenious right down to their little toe.
Once again, this is not emo as an abbriviation to emotional or emo as a branch of punk music but rather emo as a teenage trend.
Emo kids sing really pretenious songs. Emo kids dye their hair black. Emo kids stare at the stars and think about how horrible life can be. Emo guys wear really tight girl jeans and really tight girl shirts with girl jewelry. Emo kids cry for no reason. Emo kids listen to Conor Oberst, Chris Carraba, and any other run-of-the mill acoustic band with or without one or two studio tricks and lyrics containing the words die, cry, flower, die, tear, die, I want to die, and death. Emo kids complain incessantly about how horrible their life is. Emo kids shop at thrift stores exclusivly.
Emo kids are wankers, really. Annoying and self-centered wankers.
(Disclaimer: I just hate the trend. Some of my friends, and my best friend for that matter, are non-proclaimed emo kids. The style of dress is fun as well, quite possibly the most creative trend I can think of. Yet and still, the ones who are self-proclaimed emo kids are almost always unbearable, even if the ones who are without a label are rather nice people. )
No, but one is the only number you’ll ever know.
So, basically, they’re goths without the vampire shtick.
Everything stays the same; only the names change.
He is cute. Although they left off the rectangular black horn-rimmed glasses.
Basically, except for they most often wear t-shirts and jeans. Color isn’t that foreign, compared to the all black goths.
But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
Ah, you don’t believe
We’re on the Emo distruction.
You’re so much funnier than I am. I fucking hate you. I hope you die. I hope I die too. This is my pain, and I’m showing it to you. Because you make me feel inadequate, and, in fact I am. Fuck you, and fuck me to.
I’d kill myself if I wasn’t such a fucking pussy. cunt.
