This is a book I saw in Barnes and Noble the other day. An essential guide to "emo" culture? sure, whatever sells right?. Surely you can, at the very least, understand why this would make me irritable. puke.
Well, it's a little cheesy. What it says on the inside matters, I suppose, but one does wonder what sort of seriousness it brought to the topic with that sort of title/etc.
It's completely mocking emo culture as a whole including suggesting the things you mentioned as well as dark nail polish, "guyliner", the ultimate emo mix cd's, and a comparison of who's emo and who is not emo. Billy Corgan was in there as "not so emo". I don't want to talk about the Billy bashing simply because Smashing Pumpkins are utterly amazing.

I really hope that it says something useful. None of this "wear girls jeans" and "walk around with your head down" crap. Who would buy that?
