    I think it's like the difference between going to the beach and being a "surfer."

    Do explain. I'm intrigued.

    My cousin tried to explain this to me once. In her high school, all the kids fit into lifestyle categories: skater, surfer, jock, prep, geek, goth, emo, etc.

    So yeah, anybody can go to the beach, but to be a "surfer" you have to talk "the talk" and wear "the clothes" and live "the life". Or something.

    Urbandictionary.com has an interesting tangle of opinions on what it means to be emo.

    My high school was a bit more fluid, though I think some of those categories existed. I guess since I didn't care about them, I didn't notice them as much. Or maybe I'm dating myself. :)

    Hmmmm. I shall think on what you have said. And check out urbandictionary.com. Thanks for the tip.
