Emo kid

Trends " I cry a lot ... This is a given, seeing as I'm a hormone-ridden teenage girl with something of a penchant for the melodramatic. Most of the time I don't cry for overwrought normal teenage girl reasons, though. I usually tend to put on an early Bright Eyes album and curl up in my dimly lit bedroom with the exact purpose of making my vision go blurry ... Let's just call it a quirk ... Or, we could just call it me being a little emo kid." -- Olivia Hernandez for the Yakima Herald Republic

Extremely lucid piece of writing about what it's like to be a teenager in a certain part of the world. Emo's seem to be post-Generation X and grunge. Sub-cultures are getting smaller.
