"Emo" or Goth for listening to Paramore? wth!

(20091021T203411Z )

A couple of days ago, a girl asked me "what music do you listen to?" So I said "Paramore" so she said "are they that band that done the riot! album with the girl with the red hair" I said "yea, I think their amazing" so then she starts calling me a goth and emo and things. And its not just her, its everyone. I was just like, I can listen to any music I want. I prefer "EMO" music over Rap and Dance. Its really annoying how everyone just judges you and think its okay. Do any of you get called emo or Goth and things?

    people don't know what to call me. i'm a band geek that will start singing beyonce songs to the top of my lung in the hall with my friends one second and then the next be singing a paramore or MSI song or whatever band. we listen to so much music that most people cant keep up, and we don't try and help them keep up. i wear converse, but i also wear adidas, flip flops and bowling shoes (sometimes even house shoes). i'll wear a band tee one day and the next wear a sweater vest. i was called emo and all that bullshit in 8th and 9th grade, but then people got to know me and don't know what to think. i like that i cant be put into a category by people that know me. as for people who judge just by knowing one stupid piece of information about you, who cares what they think?!

    :D i was called by now: punk and emo which is really funny for me ...especially the punk thing...people think if you wear converse or vans combined with hoodies and that stuff you are a punk....and if you have a different haircolour ohhh my god :D ...and if you listen to music like paramore everbody thinks you are that emo/punk/ girl :D ....if you don't listen to house or hiphop or something like that you are really different....^^...but i don't care what people think it's always really funny for me

    It's sad, confused and possibly quite lonely people who call normal people things like that! I get that rubbish every now and then - and I mean from full grown 'adults'!
    In a wierd way, it brightens my day because I just laugh about it xD

    i`m told i need to find a "happier" and more "up-beat" band to be obsessed with they say it`s bad for me to listen to songs of sadness and stress constantly i yell at them and say "have u even ever heard their music?" like seireously paramore has sad songs,stress-y-is songs,luv songs,and happy up-beat songs just like any other artist like every singer/band has plenty sad songs but u don`t go on calling them emo

    Yeha....all the girls in my class (the 7th grade only has 12 ppl, 5 are girls) call me that. they dont even know wat EMO is. They think it is cutting and hurting yourself. Nobody in my crappy private prep school has nay taste in music. It so annoyin. They dont know wat somethin is, yet they go around callin me it. I dont take it in though, cuz wat use is it. I dont care wat they say bout me, i got real friends elsewhere. Those friends know music.

    I have been called emo and stuff but I don't give a damn I'm not and that's what matters people at school who have no respect for other peoples choices Say stuff like that so all I have to say is screw them I know who my friends are

    Same as Beth, I get called mosher a lot, guess it's true though. I'm not a typical mosher stereotype though, I'm also incredibly geeky :)

    I get called mosher a lot. They think it's an insult, when, although i don't like stereotype, its what i would fit into sort of anyway. I take it in my stride and ignore them, it just proves who's closed minded and who my real friends are, because most of my friends are the total opposite of me. They need to grow and realise it's not the end of the world if im different to them

    I am into any music to be fair haha, and there are PLENTY of Paramore fans in my school but i have been classed as a 'mosher' or 'emo' because I listen to Paramore and other bands similar off other people who live in a box, they just need to grow up to be honest! :)

    you can probably guess what i mean, lol.

    i totally agree. i mean paramore is like the furthest thing from emo you can get. like for example the only exception, and the video? they've nearly turned pop now!
