Indian ponnu becoming an “Emo”?

We already have those hip-hoppers and rappers in our community. And now, there are a few new additions to follow up! Say hello to Emo and Gothic, baby! Basically, the former two are usually attached to guys, not malayalee guys, not telugu guys, but INDIAN GUYS! Whilst the latter two somehow managed to attract those Indian girls, and nobody knew how that somehow made its debut!
I was talking to an Indian girl whom I’ve known for quite some time in MSN Messenger and she kept on changing her display picture, which made me to ask her one question:
Makkez: Why your posing in all your pictures are one kind?
Girl: coz me an emo
Makkez: ….huh?
Girl: emo lar… dat one also you dunno arh?
Makkez: Ohh… yea, I know….
I’ve heard of this ‘emo’ thing but never really paid any serious attention to it. The moment that girl told to me about her ‘emo-istic’ character, I rapidly hopped into one of the online urban dictionary site, and this is what I found:
Definition of Emo:
Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 14 year olds who don’t smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 of the face at an angle.
The bolded sentence signifies the exactness of what I have seen in that girl’s picture(s). I wonder, how the hell did this kind of culture managed to sneak in into some our Indian girls’ mind and once again, HOW THE HELL did they got attracted to it? Another thing that some of you might not aware about Emo is CUTTING! Yup, cutting their wrist, cutting their palm, you name it!
These kind of girls would usually express themselves in their way of dressing, appearance and the music they would listen to. They are usually shy, sensitive and often depressive. Allright, let us take an example of a love failure. A typical Indian guy who recently went through a miserable love failure would end up drinking in the Kedai Ah Pek nearby while this Indian ‘emo’ girl would take a sharp blade, cut her wrist slightly for the sake of adhering to the rules of ‘emo’ and the very following day, she would start googling for tons and tons of “love hurts”, “love sucks”, “guys suck” pictures and so forth to be uploaded into her social networking profile. Although this ‘wrist/hand cutting activity’ may not be carried out in a large number, but the influential power of ‘emo’ would force them to do so sooner or later!
