Grow Up Already
A lot of people like to include song lyrics in their AIM profiles or away messages. I've done it myself on more than one occasion. It hasn't really ever bothered me before... until now.
A lot of my friends graduated from college this year. A lot of them are growing up and moving on to bigger and better things. But there are a select few who still like to use clichéd emo phrases in their everyday life. Most of the time, these lyrics don't even mean anything. Most of the time, they manage to reference suicide, being a child, and drinking a coke in the same sentence. And most of the time, I feel like breaking something.
Take this, lifted from the away message of an anonymous buddy-lister, for example:
You're not going anywhere.

"I'll tell you why I don't want to know where you areCome ON people. GET LIVES! When I read that, all I can think about is some whiny, trendy asshole with his hair plastered across his forehead whimpering with his mouth so close to the mic it looks like he's making out with it. And he's crying, too. It's all been done before. Move on. Get over it. If you're still listening to emo bullshit by the time you graduate college, you really haven't learned much. But if that emo bullshit dictates the way you live, well then, cheers to you, loser.
I got a joke I been dying to tell you
A silent kid is looking down the barrel
To make the noise that I kept so quiet."
You're not going anywhere.

Good it wasn't me that put that on my profile.
I totally agree with you though. I don't know if you noticed the lack of lyrics in my profile. I used to be a heavy abuser of this sort of "EMO communication".
I still think of doing it from time to time, but try to not make it so serious.
It is time we all grow up. And it annoys me when I see it too.
i try to only stick to positive lyrics in my profile. although inside i'm a suffering ball of energy dying from the black plague that has pierced my heart and infected my brain.
i need to start cutting myself. now.
right now.
*tears*
turns up emo rock.
