Journal Question #2

What are interesting stereotypes of people in your country? In CESL we are aware of how different every country is from each other, but we all know that there are very different kinds of people in our own country. I’d like to hear a description of some of these kinds of people. Here in the US there is a new trend that is starting with teenagers that originated where I grew up. The movement is called “Emo”. Emo has it’s origins in a type of music that became popular, and as the music spread so did its fashion. This music is a lot like Punk, but it’s very melodramatic. These types of people are pictured as depressed and hating the world; also as whiny children. I used to be pretty influenced by this movement (too funny). Anyways, here is a picture of what some of these kids look like and what they wear. Maybe you have seen some of them around.
