Stop using words like "we" and "us"

Bug wrote: Across the forum I see people make posts about emo (which are generally not good posts, by the way) that use the words like "we" or "us" in their posts. So they're grouping everyone who goes on this site in to one group. Which, first, is false. Not everyone on this site is same or similar. I have yet to find someone who shares a lot in common with me on this site.

Which brings me to my next point: So many of you are constantly going out of your way to "be an individual" (which has falsities I won't waste my time discussing). But then, when talking about emo and how "different" it is, you're using words like "we" and "us" saying that everyone on the site is similar in many ways. So now you're contradicting yourself.

Finally. Someone can understand this truth.
There is no "We" in Emo, nor "Us". Actually, I don't think there's an "I" in there either, but screw it.
Everyone's different; If not in mind, then always in body... And if not in body, then always in mind.
"Emo" is not a Clique, it is not a grouping of people who, if the term used in school goes, cut themselves and hate their lives to it's fullest extent. "We" may be called thusly, but "we" are, in fact, not a "we", but all "selves".
To all who use this term anymore, I have but four words;
"See you in hell."
"I'll have you know, that I've become... Indestructible! Determination that is Incorruptible! From the other side, a Terror to behold! Annihilation will be Unavoidable! Every broken Enemy will know... That their Opponent had to be Invincible! Take a last look Around while you're Alive, I'm an Indestructible master of WAR!"

hey bug, we have something in common! we both like House, M.D.! isnt't that something at the very least?

and on-topic: i háve noticed that a load of people say "us" and "we". the hypocrisy is that most of the people who just assume that 'we' all agree with them, also make topics about how stereotypers assume us all to be, think and do the same. while they do it themselves. so yeah, their own topics are coming back to bite them in their backsides indeed.

Hmm... I don't recall ever saying "we".

I don't hardly even say "we" in real life when I'm with another person.
It makes me feel like I'm crazy. *looks around frantically*
>_>

<_<

O_O


When other people say it I guess they mean "we" as in like "me and some other person" instead of "me and you" or "everyone".


I don't know. I guess it gives them a sense of community... like "we the members of emobucket"?

I don't instantly assume I'm included when someone says "we" or "us".

first off Bug great thread!


on topic I agree there is no "we" or "us" here... unless you speak of us as EB forum members in which case we all are.But that by no means says we are all the same or even have anything in common...
I for one am in no way like 99% of people on EB but I do however love lurking about EB and meeting new people.

It's fun to be a vampire ^^

How about 'we' as humans, or 'we' as an emobucket community?
As much as you may not like to believe it, humans are all very similar.

Well, there aren't too many here who listen to GCF I guess.
Except The Myspace Song, of course.

Unfortunately yes, I am bound by the human condition.
