When the Fresh Rain Melts - My Passing Glance |
] |
I think I'll start my own emo band and call it something stupid. Something like "Tomorrow's Aftershave" or "Tuesday's Remorse." I could also name it something lengthy, such as, "Leaving the Yesterdays on Tomorrow's Doorstep" thereby leaving people to refer to the band using an abbreviated name like "LxYxTxDx"
I could also try to sound intellectual and call it something mathematic or literary, like "Pythagorean Theorum plus 1" or "Orwell's Future..." After all, you can't go wrong with names that sound like you are sighing when you say them. That's where our friend the ellipsis comes in handy. It will make it seem as though the writer was going to say something more, perhaps less, than what they have thus far.
That's a very emotional thing for a person to have to do, you know. It really takes alot of thought and emotion to pause in thought for a moment, only to continue with something out of context. I know I get very emotional when I read something like this:
why don't i just stop calling you
don't i have anything better to do...
the thoughts of last september keep calling my name
but i'm still wating... for the last respite
Or, maybe I could exploit the fact that I'm straight edge and start wearing a bandana around my face when I go to shows. That way all the other fans will know not to smoke around me, because they don't want to seem disrespectful. After all, anybody at an emo show would be totally understanding and sincerely concerned not only for their own health, but that of the other fans. This is the backbone of the scene, the mutual respect and concern. We're all in this together, after all, and none of us wants to get beat up by the rowdy skins in the pit. Of course, if somebody does do something that hurts my feelings or makes me feel uncomfortable, I can come home and write some killer new tunes for our next album "roses are red, violets are..."
Notice that, for the above album title, I utilized the two facets of emo grammar most commonly seen together. Firstly, I used all lowercase letters to convey my instability and uncertainty in the future to the reader/listener. Then, soon thereafter, I inserted the all important ellipsis. This is to let my audience know that if they listen to the CD and read the liner notes in conjunction with deep thought and meditation, they will be further enlightened in the matters of my life. This, in all likelihood, will motivate my friends to purchase sweaters, 80s T-shirts, and jeans that are too long for them. This will help them feel more comfortable with themselves, allowing them to open up and get more emotional.
Heretofore, it has been a common misconception that a person who is emo is not able to, under normal circumstances, associate with blue collar punks. Research has shown, however, that although the two groups have their differences and in general are disdainful of one another, that there is one common idealogical thread. In a survey of 25 punks and 25 emos, all 50 subjects answered affirmatively when asked if they wanted emos to die. These studies are helping to bridge the gap between punks and emos, with the primary building supply being the dead emos themselves.
