I know about Emo's but with the capital letters I thought this was about ENO's liver salts

I brought a copy my favourite Smiths album on tape as my 'new' car only has tape player... haven't listened to it in 20 years as I only had it on vinyl..

I wont be listening to it for another 20 years if I can help it...

I was a goth 20 - 25 yrs ago, I got over it but sadly the goth gene has passed to my 2 daughters. The boys appear to be ok. Is there a test for this? becasue if I have anymore children I really don't know if I can handle another Goth...

The Smiths have got absolutely nothing to do with the Emo knobs.
They need to get their own music!

think of shoegazers combined with goths with a smidgen of punk and a whole boatload of self-pity.

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.
