The first time I saw Emos I put it down to a bit of 80s revival and good old Kath and Kim surburbia. Thought it was just the latest look.

I don't mind emo kids. They may take themselves a little too seriously, and listen to the Nine Inch Nails, but they're usually far more pleasant than the US rap derived culture.

I know which ones I'd rather teach. Just don't let them near any razors.

That would've included my two eldest then. Wouldn't much fancy the chances of the kids who tried to smack my 10 year old in the face (if they were of a similar age), he's called a 'sweaty' at school (the local term for anyone who doesn't tuck their trousers into their socks (into their rockports), well, you get the idea. However, being fairly new to the school, the local *lads* thought they'd have a go and all came worse off, so now, even though he's a 'sweaty' he's treated with a very healthy measure of respect.

Really annoys me that the way someone looks is used as an excuse to try and pick on them.
