  General Comment:What is with this anti-emoism? I wish people would stop bashing emos! We aren't all pathetic, overdramatic kids who feign depression for an image! We don't cut, we don't cry ourselves to sleep AND we aren't depressed! We are what the term 'emo' stands for; EMOTIONAL. There are all kinds of emotions not just sadness. Empathy is a major emotion behind most emo music, not sadness and depression.
  
  I think everyone just hates the emo sub-culture for two reasons...
  1. The fake cutters who are posers and trivialise the whole, serious issue of self-harm.
  2. And because everyone is afraid of feeling empathy for people! It's true! Everyone is so self-absorbed that they don't want to understand for a moment what it's like to be in someone else shoes or to feel someone else's pain/happiness. Well, like the British/Indian comedy title, "life isn't all ha ha hee hee" and the media pressures everyone to be happy all the time even if they aren't. That being said there is NOTHING wrong with being GENUINELY happy. But gaining happiness from putting others down is just pathetic.

    Oh and also, people are afraid of feeling emotion. Everyone puts up a wall in social situations and that's okay, everyone does it. But when a traumatic event happens in life (and I'm not talking about 'woe is me I'm a wannabemo I cut' trauma, I'm talking about a death in the family or something similar) people don't know how to respond because all we know is how to suffocate emotion.
    
    Basically, fear of the unknown. The majority of people are scared of anyone who dares to be different. So there. That's my opinion.
    
    And please don't flame me, I am just sticking for all of those true, 90s emo kids out there.

  General Comment:Are you kidding me? I am amazed that there aren't more comments for this song. It is so powerful. My friends used to do a fun punk/hardcore kareoke. And this song is so sad and angry at the same time. Completely cathartic and amazing on repeat.

  General Comment:this song is amazing. i love how after an eventful part of your life you find one song and listen to it constantly because it seems to describe your life just right. it's great to feel that you're not alone in the world. for some odd reason during a few weeks i'd write that part on my hand everyday
  
  Altough you through away my name
  From your mind
  I have to try
  Although my heart is bruised by your words
  
  i'd go to school and people would want to know what i was depressed and i'd just show them my hand or i'd just stare at it for hours on end. maybe i sound a bit crazy but this song is beautiful.
