Trellia’s comment: The headline would’ve made me laugh, if it wasn’t for the tragic story behind it. “Sinister cult??” What about all the teens out there who find a sense of belonging, individuality and expression through Emo?
As I expressed when I first reported this story, parents and the media will be blaming Emo on all teenage problems now – just as Goth was deemed the root of all evil after the Columbine massacre. And now Goth is portrayed as positively rosy in the media – I’ve even heard it being called “the new hippy movement!”
Perhaps Emo will be regarded similarly…in about 10 years.
