homerwannabee Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Something came to mind. I remember a couple of years ago how Emo kids were really into Nintendo and Atari stuff. Now that the our current culture has backlashed against Emo. Do you think there has been a backlash against classic gaming as an indirect result as well?

Ross PK Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Nah, I'm sure most people see emo and classic gaming as two seperate things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Yeah I have heard of the term many times. But I still have zero clue what an emo kid is. Nor do I know any obviously. So what in the heck are you talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 After looking it up I still don't know what an emo kid is exactly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emo_(slang) From what I can tell, it's a goth kid without the makeup and black clothing who has a stupid haircut that covers one eye. I thought people wanted to get away from labels, but kids still unquestioningly sign up for the next style and so do a lot of adults. Then 10 years later they can't stand to look at pictures of themselves, but still sign up for the next style as if they learned nothing. If people start to hate classic gaming because of emo kids, they're stupid. Who cares what fashion zombies like or dislike? If lame-ass goth kids, for example, decide their favorite thing is a BJ, I'm not going to stop liking BJs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SINGLE TOOTH Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Thankfully, the link between Emo and classic gaming was vague enough that the two were never that closely associated. I think everyone could see through the Atari hoodie, into the empty Emo soul, and realize it was nothing more than a fashion statement for them. BTW here is a emo example. They look like homosexual versions of Shaggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Apart from a few NES pads becoming belt buckles, I think gaming will survive the Emo onslaught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I think people ignore emo kids. They aren't so far from the norm that they bother most people. Goth on the other hand... gets some odd looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Don't emo kids naturally evolve into dedicated fanboys? When they reach a certain level, they evolve like Pokemons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAtari2600 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 From what I can tell, it's a goth kid without the makeup and black clothing who has a stupid haircut that covers one eye. That was me last year, no shame either, we all go through phazes. ive come to relize my issues with my emotions. to be honest it wasn't a stupid haircut! i still wear it like that Except i wear polo shirts and more preppy wear So im a my own style again. i like tighter jeans instead of baggy more comfy somehow... dont ask I did it because I thought i looked good, and it does suit me, Labels are retarded ok? you have no idea how just because i make a personal decision im insulted and rejected for it why can't people accept peopel for who they are and go on with life, Ive loved atari before everything, so i didn't just like it for the phaze Im a true atari person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Murder is a crime because everyone knows the shotguns of the world should knock off every last one of those fake cry ass emo losers but alas it's agesnt the law so they don't.

phaxda Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 "Apart from a few NES pads becoming belt buckles, I think gaming will survive the Emo onslaught."

+Random Terrain Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 to be honest it wasn't a stupid haircut!i still wear it like that Nope, you have that one wrong. If you have two good eyes, covering one eye with your hair is stupid. Humans who have two properly working eyes have a thing called binocular vision. That depth perception can keep you alive and well. Peripheral vision can also keep you out of danger. If you block one side of your face, you can't see movement coming your way from that direction such as an opening door, a ball, or a fist. When your fashion taste overrides safety, comfort, and common sense, that's a good sign that something is wrong. Reminds me of people who wear clothing that is full of holes. The whole point of clothing, besides keeping people from making fun of the pimples on your butt or the size of your weenie, is to protect the vulnerable nude human body from the weather and the environment. If your pants have 'oh so cool' holes in the knees and you fall down on the asphalt, your knees are going to get torn up way more than they would have if there were no holes in your pants.

Kids these days... Think about all the NES pads that have been wasted because of emos. Kill an Emo, Save a NES! I never understood the emo crowd. I would rather have my junk free and loose but I guess if they haven't dropped yet you don't need to much room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
