natatawa ako pag naririning ko na sinasabi ng mga kabataan na EMO is just music, parang diko ma-take.. i think it's all..
siyempre, 1st is when hearing music from an artist, 2nd pag nagustuhan mo ung music ng artist and start to watch the music videos or search for them to see how they look, 3rd is finding how cool the artists look and now starting to do they're fashion, then 4th, when you're in to the artist, start to be involved with the music medyo ayan na... 5th is proclaiming the influence (or denying it in this matter).
parang nung 80's, we listen to Depeche Mode, to Tears for Fears, the Cure or even Lotus Eaters, etc.. this started the trend "NEW WAVE", we listen, look and even breathe "NEW WAVE", tapos sasabihin.. "new wave ka brad?", diba? ung iba "wow brad, Punks ka pala", nong 70's nga eh "wow pare, hippie", nuong 60's "Beatnicks", nuong 50's "Greasers", 90's pag naka all black ka, long hair "Metal", pag naka shorts, DM's, white shirt plaided polo na nakatali sa waist mo, "Grunge".. haayyy .. same thing as "EMO".. "brad, EMO ka pala?".. it's not negative.. it's an identity of what you are influenced of..
my 2 cents worth...
