Because emo is one step below transvestite"

some subcultures deserve mockery for their patent vanity, self obsession and hysteria. emo kids, queens and POPULAR GURLZ are leading examples.

they weren't 'mocking' these alleged 'sub-groups'
they were mocking 'emo'.
They decided to mock by analogy.
Use of analogy to mock inherently implies a weakness in the group you choose for your analogy.
The words mean:
emo's are as bad as gay men (fags)
emo's are as bad as gay women (dykes)
emo's are as bad as transvestities.
I couldn't give a shit if emo kids are bad, or annoying or whatever else.
I resent the implication that fags, dykes and transvestities represent objective wrongs.
EDIT: A summary (given that you are prone to misunderstanding): if you want to mock this 'emo' thing for it's vanity then do so. "They are vain and silly" might be the best way. DO NOT use analogies such as "they are as bad as jews" (for example).

popular stereotypes used non-maliciously by outside group for humour, oversensitive members of group in question react disproportionately. gasp.

Hmm I had thought you blocked me. In any case, YTMND is great, and apparently im not the only one who thinks that v.v
When i first made a topic about YTMND a couple of months ago, no one seemed to know what it was O.o

and that makes what kind of difference exactly?
(even assuming that it's true)
and it's not just biggotry against gay men and women it's also biggotry against transvestites.
Your response is on the level of "quit complaining we only shot the ****** in the leg, it's not like there haven't been plently of ******s shot in the head ".
But I love the way that you're man enough to admit you made a mistake rather than to keep trying to wheedle out of it.

Re: the only ytmnd thing that has made me smile so far
A few points,
Yahwe seems to be getting worse.
Im still not sure what emo is. The song says "i dont jump around when i go to concerts" - but i was pretty confident emo was all your linkin park "i tried so hard" evanescence mob. But apparently not. And whats all this "poor imitation goth" stuff all about? It sounds like when you were 5 and said "im man utd!!!" and your little brother said "im man utd too!!!" and you said "no your not! your not man utd!!! your.... sunderland!!! haha, sunderland, sunderland, sunderland!" and he ran off crying and you felt a lot better about yourself. The difference between goth and emo is negligible considering how retarded this whole classification thing is in the ****ing first place.
So it seems the entire premise of the song is based around one subculture slagging another. And considering the slaggers appear to be American, homophobic jocks, i dont feel particularly malicious towards this emo lot, personally.
And another note, pretentions aside, what a wonderful way for us to treat a huge subsection of society who feel alienated from the mainstream; by mocking them and forcing them to crawl further into their shells. GG guys.

Re: the only ytmnd thing that has made me smile so far
Well, goth means a variety of things. At it's basic level it seems to be aesthetic - a particular look in fashion, hair, make-up, etc. However there are lots of people who follow this aesthetic but who don't listen to "goth" music. Which seems to be quite of emo kids and metallers, etc.
But ultimately it's all bollocks, of course.

Re: the only ytmnd thing that has made me smile so far
What if i dressed "emo" and listened to goth? Is emo to goth what the 25 on a dartboard is to the bull - if you miss slightly on any front, sorry, you didnt quite make goth, you are emo lol.
As much as subcultures are ridiculously retarded (as no one is arguing, dont jump on me!) if it helps people belong, make friends, have a lot of sex, then fine, good for you. But it seems to me a lot of this "emo" crap is your goths, rockers, moshers (am i using terms that no longer exist? ), skaters, nu-indie, metallers, whatever, trying to legitimise themselves by projecting themselves against a mysterious other.

Well that's the real world. I personally listen to music that could generally described as "punk" but most people call me a "goth" on the train.

Possibly. There's always a bit of mocking between subcultures (and within) - pretty much every "punk" I know is aware of utterly retarded the cider drinking, mohawk wearing, angry punk rawk stereotype is but that's part of the fun. And the goths get mocked by everyone (and themselves) for their general look, music and overall faggotry and so on.
I think the problem is that in the case of "emo" there isn't much of a defence put up by anyone. I don't know many people who call themselves emo, and when they do they're generally younger / more pathetic. Angry ugly fat punks are probably more unlikely to be insulted than skinny emo kids with asymmetric fringes.

Re: the only ytmnd thing that has made me smile so far
You're probably right.
So why the internet cult of hatred towards emo, if no one can accept what it is, no one (with the ability to discuss rationally) will defend it, no one will admit to being it? What fun is that? Why dont we just go "haha, ottoman empire, you dont exist anymore lol you suck" or "bet you cant skin me now george best" or "lol caesar you got owned"?
I think everyone who wastes there time slagging it is petrified, secretly, of being called emo themselves as there is such overlap with so many different rock/alternative scenes.

In a shocking turn of events it seems that poorly defined groups are poorly defined. Condiments expressed themselves as "pepper" and "salt".

Re: the only ytmnd thing that has made me smile so far
being the hip happening chap that I am
I mentioned emo to my best friend.
being the rational intelligent adorable chap he is
he asked "wtf is emo?"
I explained it at great length.
He simply shrugged and said "so they're new romantics then?"
I was forced to say "yes"
here endeth the lesson.
