Amusing Experience of the Day

Sitting in a room full of doctors, nurses and psychologists, discussing what exactly defined "an Emo" (sic).

I think our criteria should be ready in time for DSM-V (which, by the way, I bought a copy of (DSM-IV) in French today, which excited me far more than I should admit to)

    Wiki can put it far more eloquently than I ever could...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo#Fashion_and_stereotype

    They even finish with:

    "In recent years, emo, in the popular media, has been associated with a stereotype that includes being emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, or angsty.[19][21][22] It is also associated with depression, self-injury, and suicide.[23][24]"


    Damn.
