"Emos"

I am not knocking anyone's perception of themselves but i just gotta mention the "emo" label that has exploded into "emo" haircuts and styles, clothes and piercings. Why must we label everything? That is a legitimate question that certainly makes you wonder if it is just not another way for people to make themselves unique ( yeah cause i know i want to be different, it helps so much) See i just said i was on my period but now it needs a label because being different is apparently a trend. I have personally asked my emo friends why they call themselves that and i can report that they don't know so i figured "smurfette" was taken.......
