Lol do you even know what glam rock means? Bowie was the master of gender bending. Obviously, if they take a lot of influence from Bowie, don't you think breaking the perimeter of clothing boundaries would be broken gender-wise? Lrn2logic, dumbfuck, haha.

i don think any one, save mandy and co, gets this. this is an academic piece looking at how gender norms are thwarted by what has been coined emo. it isn't about girly boys or whatnot. big sigh.

[bristar007]

americans are total fuck ups.

what gives any of you the right to comment so negatively? do you have grade 6 education? a mc job??? u sound totally useless.

its funny that these kids get the worst of it at times, and wastes like you roam free.

Another part of emo is the fact that emo-boys really want to dress like girls. Tight pants. Where did that come from? Ill give you 1 hint it wasnt from a man. Long hair parted to the side in front of the face/eyeliner. Female. Acting very much like their female counterparts. Thats why the females look classy and the males look queer. Where did emo start? It wasnt glam-rock, it was 2 gay guys in a basement crying and getting it up the ass. This guy should take off the gay cloth and cry.
