OK, this is an honest piece of advice. I really do mean that. Don't say stuff like this on the internet. Every single person is just going to look at this and think that you're exactly the kind of person Zac described in the column. I don't know you. For all I know this could be true. If it is though, you'd be the one exception amongst a million other kids who talk tough on the internet but are actually totally full of it. The thing is though, true or not, people will assume you're just full of it. So whether this is true or you're just making this up, nobody is going to buy it. |

hey guys...watch history in the making....
I invented a new world, just like emo, cut the sentence in the middle and there you go...new word!! I invented the word :Cospy!!! COSPY (Cosu-phay) means that you or any of your friend tried to integrate a cosplay element into his life and tried to pass it on as "everyday fashion" Example: have you ever walked on the street and saw a girl with a purple hair with red strings or "name-your-color" here and you are like GEEZ that girl looks like an anime" well, she is being Cospy. Or how about that kid that wears his naruto jacket or bandana at school...yeah he's so Cospy!! Now, you can't use that term in anime conventions cause you are suppossed (or not) to cosplay there, but if you want to be COSPY on an anime convention, then you have to wear more than five different costumes, then you have more Cosplay Aura than the rest so your level of Costume play power increases and you are being Cospy-er than the rest... Anybody here have COSPY friends? how about you Zac? |

It took him how long to finally break up with her? Even if a non-popular guy had the chance to be with an attractive popluar girl, if he had self-esteem he wouldn't be with her long. spoiler[He was the only main character to have his family still alive at the end of the series, and he couldn't stop crying! Well, his real parents were dead a long time ago but he never knew them. Cagalli took being adopted better also her dad was blown up in front of her. Miriallia, and Murrue had their lovers die and they weren't moping around.] The point is Kira was the only one who moped around while everyone else had a crapper life than he did, which is what an emo kid is. (middle-class teen who has a nice life but is sad for no reason.) When they were in Orb he had the opportunity to spend a day with his parents but he didn't because he "didn't want to see him for depressed reasons." Meanwhile Flay had to stay since she had no more family. Hello, he knew he was genetically altered his entire life, why does he have to get sad over it now? Half of the cast was genetically altered and you didn't see them crying themselves to sleep. Also, if he really hated killing people he didn't have to re-join the army. There wouldn't be a story, but he had the choice. |

I'm thinking you might be "Emo" yourself because only a "Emo" would get so pissed off over someones simple opinion on the internet that they would threaten to kill them. |

Hm, turns out I'm an emo. But then, 83% of the people who took the quiz are too... |

That quiz was loaded. It had multiple questions on skating, and even more on clothes. The bias being, if you don't skate and you don't wear Nike, then you're emo. I am "emo" even though I answered "no" to the questions like "Do you have a fringe that covers one eye?", and "Do you wear tight jeans?" The quiz gets 1/10. |

But again, you're talking about self esteem. What does that have to do with being overly emotional or whiny? (Also, I'm afraid that all too often guys will accept bitchiness if it comes with looks and popularity. It's not really an issue of self esteem. Thats kinda getting off point though).
Well, for starters they weren't modified in the same way as him. More importantly though, that half of the cast were fighting together against the naturals. Kira was forced to fight against them and even his old friends for the naturals, many of whom hated and feared people like him.
But thats why he was torn. He didn't want to kill but he had to in order to protect his friends. |

Emo is a style of music, not a state of being.
Idiots. |

who said it was a state of being? Here only one meaning of the word is used. same goes for metal. I remember those who heard metal were much more harshly treated than the emos .I remember they accused them of being satanists etc during the 80s. So metal and rock had that denunciating tone too. I put the quiz to show that today among youths there are many variations of sub-culture. Not only that but even the language is completely different. I wouldnt understand anything of the slang phrases. |

When a word goes from this...
...to this...
...you know the word has lost it's meaning.
Me three. The first and only time I spoke about it was when a friend of mine was explaining this new word to me a few years ago. My response: - Hm... There is already a pejorative term that defines everything you just said. - Really? - Yep. - What is it? - Gay. I'm starting to think that emo is just the politically correct version of gay. Despite this disguise, emo is still strongly related to gender and sexuality. It seems that all men should be cool like Spike Spiegel, Sasuke, L, and Lelouch. They have to be manly like Kamina, Onizuka, Guts, and Kenshiro. Or else you're emo. Funny thing is that the guys watching them couldn't be less likely associated to any of these characters. |
