Slagging off emos is totally fun. And easy! I mean, look at those fringes - they're enormous! And what's funnier than a huge fringe? Badly applied kohl and Fall Out Boy, that's what!

The thing is, since we've read Craig Schuftan's book, the pleasure we used to get from yelling out "Nice fringe, fringey!" has been dramatically reduced.

It turns out that emos actually have heaps more in common with the romantic poets of the 1800s, Bowie and The Cure than we do. According to our calculations, this makes them cooler than us. Thanks a lot, Schuffy! Way to use your incredible knowledge of pop culture and convincing argument to cut us down to size. Who knew you'd take their side? Consider us told, you big closet emo.
