There is a massive discussion now in youtube about emo and scene kids. Here is the video that sparked attention about hating emo and scene kids.
This video is made by Archmc2012:
The majority of the users dislike her due to her stereotypical discussion on emo and scene kids. Here is my reaction:
"ARCHMC2012. If I were you I wouldn't judge based on their looks but the EMO CONCEPT itself. Emos are actually exaggerating their emotions by thinking when they are heartbroken they nay commit suicide because they think that their life is not worth living without their love partner. A Greek Philosopher Socrates said that "An unexamined life is not worth living". And the Emos practiced that unwisely. THIS IS MY OPINION. IT IS FOR YOU TO AGREE OR DISAGREE. GO AND LET THIS COMMENT FLY TO THE ZENITHLY HEAVENS OR THROW IT TO THE MALEBOLGE WITH YOUR JUDGEMENTAL VULGARITIES, OBSCENITIES AND PROFANITIES. Thank you. I dare not to be judged or to judge anyone. I just hope I am not offending anyone. This is for the good of everyone.
“Oh! Archmc2012, The most disturbing videos you produced has been a subject to massive debate among youtubers when it comes to EMO. I am in the NEUTRAL side. If you want to see what EMO really is like to avoid more negative and offensive issues, here it is: http://www.emo-corner.com/ . And I want you to look over this site before you can actually piss-off or even break their hearts out. You have passed the line of being judgemental due to the majority of negative responses they gave to you. Do not assume but verify your assumptions. Don't judge because people are not books nor apples. We live in different cultures and emo is a very hot topic. I will state here my opinion about emo's. The core concept of it is on the state of mind in which people get heartbroken because they think life can be devastating without the existence of their love partners by their sides. Emos to Pessimistic to Depressed to Hopeless to SUICIDE. That is probably one aspect of it. But in terms of fashion, it is cultural and it is their own looks and their own bodies so don't judge them because they are not yours. Emos are simply exaggerating their emotions by means of extreme magnification. I am not judging nor offending. I am simply stating my opinion. The question is "What is the basis of being emo?, How and why?" One must look into the foundation of it before arguing otherwise, you are using mistaken and fallacious arguments because you don't know the essential context of it. A Greek Philosopher with the name of Socrates has said that, "An unexamined life is not worth living". It is not worth living if you do not know yourself consciously. Everyone is unconscious on what they really are and on being self-judgemental. Judge yourself before judging others. So, if you wish to reply to this message, pls. do make a video as a reply. Thank you. One last thing, do you have any friendster or something account out there?
We are all entitled to our own opinionated perspectives and subjective judgements but we are not entitled to misuse it for bias and profound humiliation of different people. Subjective ideas are welcome for they can help solve issues while judgements can make issues worse. So keep these words of wisdom in mind if you want to be conservatively wise with your actions. LIKE I SAID, I BRING NO HARM BUT TRANQUIL IDEAS. Profanities and "VULGARITIES" are sacriligeous and immoral, but if that is part of your being, SO BE IT. "
In general, she doesn't know other people personally. The emos and scene kids really are frustrated with her prejudicial judgements.
"LITTLE KNOWLEDGE IS DANGEROUS. This girl has little knowledge of emos and scene kids, so she becomes judgemental which is against the common mores. She sees them superficially that she doesn't know anything about their personality. "
That was my video comment of the original.
Youtubers have their own saying about this through their video responses. The most logical one became a private video.
I call this as a Cultural Prejudice. I MUST say that almost everyone who replied on the original video have practiced "an attitude with emotional BIAS". Even Archmc2012 is biased.
STEREOTYPING- This is the tendency to picture all members of a group in an oversimplified or exaggerated manner. This is a process by which all members of a particular category as having the same qualities. Usually, we have experience with a particular social category. Then we generalize by thinking that everyone else in the category is just like that person.
In Archmc2012's case, she even puts them inferior from her. She relates them not as a couple of groups but as a whole single race of trend.
Remember, the repliers also practice prejudice, because they are also making her inferior to them. So, this social process is called conflict. And it will never stop due to the eternity of the golden rule.
I consider myself as a unprejudiced nondiscriminator in this case because I can analyze the on-going problems in this situation.
No person has the right to be labeled, misjudged, prejudiced, or discriminated because it will always worsen the current situations.
The ultimate culture possessed in youtube is SCAPEGOATING and JUDGEMENTAL. This is why I don't like to comment on those individuals.
Ciao!
