a guy I knew years ago started a tshirt company that was purely focused on producing tshirts for emo bands (so I’m talking like early 00s) he was quite successful but man the absolute hate he would get on myspace was insane. just from Emo kids that for whatever reason hated the fact that bands were coming to him to produce their merch. I asked him doesn’t it bother him that these kids in like Ohio are grilling him daily for stupid reasons and he said “If people are hating on you for what you do with your life, they just hate their own. Misery loves company.” So it didn’t get to him. He knew all these people that were bullying him online were much worse off in life than he was so why should he care?
Unfortunately not everyone sees or realizes this and then you have what happened with Sheets happen. But whenever I see someone online just go off on someone else constantly then I know that their life absolutely sucks and they want to bring down anyone they can with them.
Well they were emo, is it all that surprising. As I understand it a lot of emo kids back in the 00s were barely holding in there and often lashing out.

Sounds like those emo kids were just in the misery business.

Still barely holding in there. My lashing out has gotten better as I matured.
I know Paramore isn’t really emo, but not too far from that demo. I was referencing their song.
It was a bad joke, I know.
