Emo-haters

[ballantyne]

You guys grizzling about emos really crack me up. Particularly those who quote Half Man Half Biscuit in their signature. What you really mean is "young people". Depending on the era, you could substitute hippies, punks, sharpies, mods. What you're really saying is you've forgotten what it was like to be 20, but you can remember the lyrics.
Wake up guys, you sound like your dads!

It's true, the word emo in our standard use of it could be traded with many things. More accurate than 'young people' would be 'non-participators'.

There ARE some cracking stereotypical emos in the Bay. But really it has just developed into the term used for those who don't join in.

I don't think anyone uses it too specifically or takes it too seriously. I'm happy with the term.

this would be the "non-participating young people " who clog up the bay, madly texting their friends 4 seats away and completely ignoring the action on the field...those young people?

a complete waste of ticket money if i ever saw one.

Waste of ticket money??

Waste of oxygen more like, they would be far more at home at Erina Fair dressing like all their friends so they can express their individuality.

Ive got no concern with emos turning up to the game just to occupy seats. They are only wasting their own money and make our attendances look good. The problem is they occupy the bay and dont stand up or join in on the chants. My friends and I have made a point of occupying the front few rows in the Wellington game in order to "force" the people behind me stand up for instance. The problem is also going to be massive when we start selling out games and its really becomes competitive to get tickets, and if emos deny proper football fans as well as new converts to the game decent seating this would be bad for the game and bad for the mariners

i'm the one quoting HMHB (mostly because it's a great song title), and i've no problem with emos per se (everyone's 15 once) and i'm not sure where i've singled out emos myself.

i do have a problem with people hanging out in bay 16 and doing nothing.

for the forum generally, the word 'emo' has in a way become a placeholder or substitute for 'non participating waste of space' because it's much easier to type. too many of them wear bad t-shirts and stovepipe jeans to matches and stand around doing nothing, that's the problem.

if they wore yellow and participated then they could listen to any old rubbish and write appallingly bad poetry and i wouldn't give a shit.

We should embrace the emos and sing some stuff that maybe they will join in with

As an ex casual, thats just bollocks  . Casuals were first and foremost the youth culture of the day that sprang out of football. The game was massive for us.

Casuals wore casuals so they could blend in with the weekend shoppers on away trips before smashing the home team's firm in their own pub (allegedly). Although when you went up north it was obvious that you were from a London firm as the locals were all dressed like pikeys!
