askaninja.com Got Emo on Themselves Again...

Well, the team at ask a ninja have just unveiled their first release of their latest creation, Hope Is Emo.

They seem to touch on some interesting points, even though they are looking for a more comedic appearance. It brings up an interesting argument (although shown as one-sided in the first episode) as to the meaning and representation of words. Words mean nothing. To define a word is simply to say what is meant when the word is used, to say what a word means is to say the purpose of the idea or thing which the words represent.

The most interesting part, however, is perhaps the irony, whether intentional or not, of the name Hope is Emo. Hope is more than a name, it is also a word used commonly in the English language to describe a belief in the possibility of a particular occurrence. The use of emo in Hope is Emo, is apparently the stereotypical 'emos hate their life' or 'emo means emotional and therefore emos are emotional', so the fact that they chose to name the 'emo' hope, is nothing short of ironic.

I have one last thing to say in response to this quote from Episode 1 of Hope is Emo

"If you take anything away from this video, like you know, please stop misusing words"

Perhaps people should stop misusing emo.
