Can I Still Be Emo If I Don’t Play The Guitar And Am Totally Talentless
In order to be a proper Emo, you mustn’t be able to play the Guitar.
Why? Well no Emo bands can play guitar properly. Have you actually listened to any of My Chemical Romance’s songs? Even Stephen Hawking could play guitar better than Ray Toro.
If you’re thinking of starting an Emo rock band the worst thing you can do is take guitar lessons. Learn it yourself when your blind drunk and if anyone criticises your technique, urinate in their direction.
Remember, it’s not about actually being talented, it’s all about looking good and injecting your pain into the lives of your teenage fanbase. Instead of practising chords, practice your most demented sex faces in the mirror. The Emo Girls will love you all the more for it further down the line!
Start writing songs even if you’re illiterate. It’s worked for years for Pete Wentz and now he’s the richest Emo on the planet. You can achieve this level of popularity if you just stay talentless. It’s easy if you try.

You’ve touched a fucking nerve there, my friend.
I’d like to see you do this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNfCha0lDtc
Or this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ9DG9bZMHg
That’s only two. Might as well go ahead and say that the quality on the second is shitty. Whatever.
And he can sing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f49Z_Tpval0&feature=related
Toro is, hands down, the best guitarist I know of. Frank’s awesome too.
So, shut your mouth.
