The several kids that I knew when they were in elementary school (and became Emo in high school) did come from divorced families. The parents also didn’t have a lot of control. I guess they felt that this was a “stage” of “discovering your identity”. One exception: Mom and Dad pulled her from the school and put her in an all girls, Catholic high school. They also enrolled her in softball. She is a happy, well adjusted 19 year old today.
In all seriousness, add together every liberal idea you can imagine and Emos are the living embodiment of that. They are the end result of liberal darwinism.

I used the word paradox before. Their entire worldview is paradoxical. They embrace nhilism, but seek attention/affection. They claim individuality and dress/act/think alike. It’s endless. And the trend id pushed in media as ‘cool’ and desirable.
