Emo Friends.
When Jimmy Eat World burst into the rock scene, they were immediately labeled as an EMO BAND. However, the relationship between Jimmy Eat World and my EMO friends are irrelevant. You see, an EMO friend is a friend that tends to get too emotional, all the time. Regardless of the topic at hand, my EMO friends are very in touch with their emotions. Which means, being EMO is like their second skin. In addition, they tend to get even more EMO if the topic is about relationship, father and mother issues, work, girlfriend, boyfriend, marriage or drugs. I would like to add more to that list, but for now it is suffice.
So how should one handle an EMO friend? Here’s a foolproof trick: never ever tell them off. Since they are ‘fragile little things’, you have to approach them from their point of view – the EMO point of view. If not, they will reject everything you say or the advice you give. Personally, having an EMO friend can be quite beneficial. And the most important one is, they will always STICK by you no matter what. And if you call upon them, they will be there right by your side.
However, to gain an EMO friend is tough. You have to earn their trust because you will be part of their world. And to be part of their world is like entering their secret garden – only the discerning few can be there. So if you have an EMO friend, be patient. God made them that way. If there were less EMO people in this world, we might as well be robots. And I for one, prefer to hear people whine than being cold.
