Technology is Forcing Emo on Our Youth
Is this what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with...sending everyone on your friends list that three page poem about black tears that you wrote last night when your hamster died? Posting a picture of just your eye and part of your forehead as your main picture on facebook?
Is this the way a toy feels when its batteries run dry? What happened to real face to face conversation? AOL set out the bait, and America's youth swallowed it hook line and sinker. Hands down, I will always remember the sound that aim makes everytime someone new signs on. Seriously, we may as well have another drink and drive ourselves home at this point, because emo is taking over. First there were chatrooms and online conversations, used at intervals and fun to a point. Now, on top of this the internet has turned into one big dashboard confessional (no pun intended), with everyone sending all 300 of their "friends" bad poems, crappy pictures, and a list of exactly what they've done in the past week.
This is the first song on your mixtape, and its all downhill from here. This is a lesson in procrastination, and America's youth has learned it without prejudice. If kids can feel important just by writing bad songs about crying black tears, then what reason do they have to actually accomplish anything in eral life?
Today we find ourselves writing more postcards than hooks, reading more maps than books, and the only one we have to blame is Tom. (yeah, you all know who he is). The internet forces us to think in decimals and dollars, and is the root of all our problems.
What good is screaming infidelities if no one's listening?
If Chuck Norris was president, none of this would be happening anyway.
Sometimes I wish my gras was emo...just so it would cut itself.
