This book cracked me up from beginning to end. Also introduced me to one of my now favorite movies. Nice.
This "Essential Guide" was hilarious, and spot on. The authors were incredibly well-versed in emo culture and definitely nailed it on the head. I laughed out loud throughout the book, and thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
i like my sociological/exploratory books to have some element of analysis. This book has none and it was sad! Someone needs to write an actually interesting book about the emo subculture because that would be so cool.
This book was a giant throwback to my high school days and had me laughing out loud. It kind of makes me want a real history of the emo/hipster- subculture.
Reading this book renders me quite nostalgic. The emo culture has been and always will be a huge part of my adolescence. It reminds me of the time when I wanted to die because I didn't feel like I had any friends or when my chest hurt so bad but not a single tear would fall. The book covers the culture very well. The bands they mention over and over are extremely familiar to me, though most of them I've never listened to. It is also packed with hilarious inside-humour that only an emo kid would understand. Wish they would write an updated version with bands like Daughter and Funeral Suits now. This culture will keep evolving, which is why it lived for as long as it did.
The last paragraphs are the best ones. And they're right, no matter what music you listen to or what your hobby is, being emo comes from the heart and it never truly changes. There is an email from Pete Wentz at the last page, which I'm hoping is real, and it definitely sums up how I feel now that I'm not 15 anymore and no longer feel like having bangs that runs down to my nostril or wearing black all the time. No matter how old I get, I'll always have a soft spot for dark emotions.

Pretty funny book. It hit so close to home because I knew a ton of people in high school who were just like the people in this book. It was a truly fun read.
Intelligent and witty however completely nonessential (duh?). Not a must read but perhaps a flip-through-if-given-10-min-with-it book. More useful for someone who is actually emo, aka my sister.
