well with all the emo bashing on the site, i felt a great need to introduce this song to you. this is by great 80's soft rocker tom petty. yes, he's about as metal as a field of violets, and about as heavy as a feather pillow, and this song was probably not directed at emo-fags, but the lyrics are absolutely perfect for what we metalheads have to put up with. but hey it was 1989, he may have been hitting out at black metal

anyway, this song in question is called "Zombie Zoo."

12. Zombie Zoo
All down the street, they're standin' in line
With white lipstick and one thing on their mind
Hey little freak with the lunchpail purse
Underneath the paint, you're just a little girl

Dancin' at the zombie zoo
Dancin' at the zombie zoo
Painted in a corner
And all you wanna do is
Dancin' at the zombie zoo

Cute little dropout, how come you pack a rod?
Is your mother in a clinic? Has your father got no job?
Sometimes you're so impulsive, you shaved off all your hair
You look like Boris Karloff, and you don't even care

Dancin' at the zombie zoo
Dancin' at the zombie zoo
Painted in a corner
And all you wanna do is
Dancin' at the zombie zoo

She disappears at sunrise
I wonder where she goes until the night
Comes fallin' down again she shows up
With her friends, half-alive

You can make a big impression
Or go through life unseen
You might wind up restricted
And over seventeen
It's so hard to be careful
So easy to be led
Somewhere beyond the pavement
You'll find the living dead

(C) 1989 Tom Petty

That was great. And thanks for adding the (C) so we know it wasn't yours. Not that we wouldn't 'cause you're not that good. (j/k) I've never heard that, but it does fit with emo mood. Or the lady with the white lips in "Curuco, Beast of the Amazon." Bad old B movie.

You could do a parody using that song as a basis ala Weird Al.

Thanks for sharing.

Haha, some funny shit.

more goth, not emo.

emo and goth are the same thing. they both go home and cry at night/cut themselves because the world hates them.

No there's a difference. Emo kids would cut themselves with a smoother blade so it wouldn't hurt so much. Goths would use a rough, nicked blade to really get some tearing and lockjaw going on.
