The original Emo. Wikipedia states that much of Emo Philips' standup comedy "stems from the use of paraprosdokians and garden path sentences." And, while there are plenty of quotes to support this, it doesn't quite do justice to the man who wrote the best God joke ever--it's in the way he delivers these lines. Experience true Emo here, through these links which I like to call, "Audio and Video Clips from Emo Philips' Website." Bonus: • The Episode of Home Movies where Emo provides the voice of Shannon, the bully: "The Art of the Sucker Punch" - 1 | 2 | 3 • The hot new music video for "I Like to Shop in Downtown Downer's Grove" And always carry with you in your heart Emo's advice: "Cell phones are like a dog's nipples... you don't have to shout into them!"

Emos Hunted

Violence against emos sweeps across Mexico. Emo Resistance. Anti-emo sentiment w/ video of mob attack. Coverage from Mexico. Emo attacks spread to Chile.

None if by land, two if....oh, it's all so depressing.

The Emos are coming! The Utah ABC affiliate has the skinny on the newest thing that's killing today's children. E m o. (No, not THAT Emo.)

That's pretty underground...

How To Scream for Metal, Hardcore & Screamo

Learning to scream safely as a metal, hardcore or screamo vocalist can "take approximately a year", apparently. Handy tips offered here include "practice screaming into a pillow", and "scream along with music, especially songs in which screaming is already taking place." Bizarrely comprehensive, and probably useful, if you're into, uh, screaming.

i'll see you emo fags later...

Last night in my rock pub of choice I heard a girl get overly excited about "the hottest thing, ever"; Whole sites dedicated to Emo boys kissing Emo boys. This is totally a MySpace thing I (gladly) missed out on.

The Outsider Within

The New York Times runs a front page Arts and Leisure feature on Dashboard Confessional and emo (no! it's not emo! not emo!) in general. It's always fun to see the Grey Lady's earnest, respectful, decidedly National Geographic take on youth subcultures (for example, something tells me the Dawson's Creek anecdote didn't happen quite the way it was reported). Despite its reputation for whiney self absorbment, the Subgenre That Will Not Be Named has produced some masterpieces; will it finally get the (pick one) respect/condemnation it deserves?

Tired of the same old Acapella? Wish that it dealt with the issues that you face as a wimpy high school student without a girlfriend? It's Emocapella!
