DA

Them having genuine issues that caused them to seek attention in such a desperate way, or to pretend to self harm in order to fit in with a cool crowd, is a separate issue from actual self harm, however. It's not good to conflate the two.

[kallanda_lee]

I think my point is they're not as much separate categories as you imagine them to be.

[(Anonymous)]

I get that point. I disagree.

Can they both be grouped into people who need help? Maybe. Not all of them, but some. But that group isn't the one I'm talking about, though. And I do not feel comfortable grouping the emo princess girl who talks about self-harming for attention because it was cool in the 90s but does not actually do it - and I knew many of those in high school - in the same category as someone who self-harms.

[kallanda_lee]

Fair enough if she does not actually do it, but once you do, that is a certain point you cross, even if your motivations might be different.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree, if someone is literally harming themselves through peer pressure to conform then they have issues, though different ones.

I should have said "self-harming" as in not actually doing it, just talking loudly as if they did and faking going to extremes - complete with photos of ketchup as fake blood and shit, I kid you not - because it was cool to be edgy and emo at the time. Like kids who pretend to be in gangs but would never really be in one.

Man that just...wow. That is so fucked up.

I'm glad I missed this part of fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

It was predominantly in emo bandom which had so many problems glorifying depression and self-harm and suicide. I'm glad it's gone.

Do you remember which bands it largely revolved around? Now I'm really curious (and also curious as to whether any of those bands are bands I like, since for some reason I have a soft spot for teenage emo angst music lol)
