I leave for 30 mins and it decents into emo bashing as per the norm...

Carry on

Right, someone's gonna have to explain what 'an emo' is. I've heard this Emo music but not really paid much attention to it's followers.

I'd never heard the term Emo before until i joined Hexus, i did go through a phase worrying if i was one

but i don't think i am

hope not anyway

Work it out

Damn right

I was at leeds (2nd year, 2nd festival) and i have to say i had an awesome time. Now i have been told about the rioting before by more experienced festival goers and tbh i want nothing to do with it (like most people who dont want to get hurt or see anyone close to them get hurt) So this is why this year, like last year me and some of my mates cleared out after the foos finished their set (sundays last act at leeds). We got straight off site and it was plain sailing down the motorway back home.

From a few mates who stayed the extra night all we missed was a riot. Apparently some lads tore down some telegraph poles and "set fire to the fire lane"

. My mates tents were all burnt down or slashed and as for their gazebo...

It was still great and frankly i would rather sleep without a tent in a muddy field than got to ibiza to large it with da homeys and me bird sharron innit safe aiii etc

Did you get upset and cry about possibly being an emo ? If you didnt, I think you may be normal

**TheAnimus** · 02-09-2005, 08:01 PM

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=emo thats what we're up against!

but i'm thankful to emo's, even been stuck in on friday night, i can think to myself, thank god i'm not as dire as them.

No i just worried about it until i forgot what i was worrying about, then decided that whatever i was worrying about wasn't worth the worry cos i couldn't remember

Thanx for Link TheAnimus, i understand what an Emo is perfectly

**Konan555** · 02-09-2005, 08:23 PM

I gotcha - just another one of the never ending teen sub cultures then. The most annoying of which always centre around 'you don't understand me'

I think out of the lot, early 90s metallica geeks where my favourite.

The best part of Sunday night at Reading was the mob going round shouting the frankly fantastic "Say NO to EMO" slogan at anyone who was near them.

That was probably the last thing that got dull, tbh.

Some of us did that at download aswell

Other great chants being -

John Makrenroe!
Chaz and Dave!
Slayer!
Timmy!
I'm Spartacus!
Rectal Leakage!
Emo girls take it harder!

As you may have guessed, we were drunk

**Konan555** · 03-09-2005, 09:24 AM

Ah - now there's a non-festival festival. Download.

Although packed with comedy bands most years.

**Swafe** · 03-09-2005, 03:59 PM

Nah, Downloads an alrite festival, better music, but not as good atmousphere as reading.

Its good, but when I went I was sober as I wanted to actually remember the bands

Where with reading i didnt care and jsut got wasted

Better music is, of course, subjective.

I think Electric 6 where the only lot I'd have found half interesting, and mainly for the entertaining stage show.

The rest of it's been just tedious guitar rock to me.
