Trust me there's a BIG difference, and beside's punk is not about the clothes it's about the music and how you react to it and good drum solos lol (For me anyway) ... punk music is like Billy Talent or Greenday .. Emo music is like My Chemical Romance or Good Charolette.Quote:

Ok I have to ask...I think I may already know, but what exactly is an emo? :o

What I see on the internet is that it's usualy teens who may have a bad life, want to cut there wrists over angry things, wear lots of black, have there hair to the side, they all look the same lol usualy towards other emo's ... some of them stay in groups, I'm pretty sure some of them belive in stuff but I don't want to say what it might be cause I'm realy not sure, I mean in a crowd you can just pick out an emo with ease ... I would say there trying to stand out from people to get attention or act like there bad kids in a way.
Not all emo's are depressed like, some of them just dress like emo's but realy are NOT there just posers wanting to be a wannabe emo lol I dunno why anyone would want to do that .... why not just make up your own style (That's what I do sometimes just for fun lol).
Punks are usually gregarious and like to meet new people, but being nice to an emo will often confuse them into sheer immobility! Not always, though. I'm really talky and friendly with everybody, so I do meet the occasional emo kid (for me it's all one word, "emo kid," since it's a trend that wears off as people grow up) who appreciates being told that her earrings are gorgeous or his boots are really cool.
I'm with Cathy - totally solitary. We did have a leaderless group here in Boston for a while (New Moon - it's still thriving in New York, last I heard) but after a few years we just got people who wanted to show up once a month and get handed an emotional rush and nobody who wanted to present the next month's workshop & ritual, so we folded. Or "set," I guess, that being what the moon does!
I'm "eclectic" - my special Mother and Father are Brighid and Herne, but I'll appeal to just about anyone for help - there's even an angel (Azrael) who helps me with situations where I need to learn to let go. The way I see it, I don't have to understand how the Universe works or explain it to anybody else - I just need to act like the kind of Goddess I'd like to have in charge of my world. (But I should be gracious about lending books. :) )
Love, Columbine
I couldn't agree more on this. Actually, one of the reasons why I stopped going to my church, is that I got tired of seeing so many people singing and praying out loud pretending to be the perfect Catholic. I know that lots of them are not good persons outside church. God knows what it is inside your heart better than anyone, no matter your religion.Quote:

In my estimation, it is really up to God to decide who falls into which category. I won't let trying to judge their worth determine my own involvement in the religion, or let trying to figure out their personal struggles distract me from trying to fix my own shortcomings. The way I see it, there's no such thing as a perfect Catholic, Jew, Mormon, Pentecostal, Muslim, or anything else. And any time you start expecting anyone else to be more perfect, you probably need to pause and take stock of your own issues.
