内容説明
What is emo? For starters it’s a form of melodic， confessional， or EMOtional punk rock. But emo is more than a genre of music–it’s the defining counterculture movement of the ’00s. EVERYBODY HURTS is a reference book for emo， tracing its angsty roots all the way from Shakespeare to Holden Caufield to today’s most popular bands. There’s nothing new about that perfect chocolate and peanut butter combination––teenagers and angst. What is new is that emo is the first cultural movement born on the internet. With the development of early social networking sites like Make Out Club (whose mission is to unite ?like–minded nerds， loners， indie rockers， record collectors， video gamers， hardcore kids， and artists through friendship， music， and sometimes even love?) outcast teens had a place to find each other and share their pain， their opinions， and above all， their music–which wasn’t available for sale at the local record store. Authors Leslie Simon and Trevor Kelley lead the reader through the world of emo including its ideology， music， and fashion， as well as its influences on film， television， and literature. With a healthy dose of snark and sarcasm， EVERYBODY HURTS uses diagrams， illustrations， timelines， and step–by–step instructions to help the reader successfully achieve the ultimate emo lifestyle. Or， alternately， teach him to spot an emo kid across the mall in order to mock him mercilessly.
From Publishers Weekly
For those who equate ?emo? with lonely， malnourished rock bands， Alternative Press vets Simon and Kelley provide a vivisection of this deceptively large slice of the American pop culture pie: ?it’s a state of mind...a place for people who don’t fit in-but who long to fit in with other people who don’t fit in.? With casual prose and unflagging energy， the authors look at a laundry list of emo affairs: fashion， internet， film， literature and music among them. Simon and Kelley know the territory inside and out， profiling ten emo types (?Trustafarian，? ?Christian，? ?Ex-Hardcore?)， ?emo ancestors? (including Emily Dickinson and Cameron Crowe)， a detailed timeline and a comparative ? ’Emo’ vs. ’So Not Emo’ ? list-and that’s just the first chapter. Unexpected resources and sarcastic swipes abound: record store recommendations segue into clever， cutting guidelines for naming your band. Readers will be reminded of Robert Lanham’s The Hipster Handbook (right down to Rob Dobi’s detailed， comic-realist illustrations)， but like that title， Simon and Kelley’s may not appeal to its subjects (emo fans read books primarily ?to brag about them in social situations?). On the other hand， would-be scenesters will pick up plenty of tips-though there’s a significant possibility that the info here will be dated in six months.
