I remember when emo kids used to dress in all black, with a bit more black on the side, and spent their days staring glumly at the floor. Nowadays they’re all about the crazy-haircuts and dressing in neon. Whatever happened to emo kids actually being emo?

Well, that intro certainly made me feel old, but csj89 (the tees designer) has helpfully explained in tag cloud form exactly what emo is today:

emu bird, blade, chucks, black square rimmed glasses, finding fish, skate shoes, familiar puppet, skulls, crying, pills, social networks, makeup, nailpolish, tear, eyeshadow, guyliner, guitar, broken hearts, vinyl, piercings, mascara, stab, online journals, bleed, old school video games, butterflies, girly jeans, poetry, diary, roses, and rainbows.

Got it, cool, now there’s no need to people to post in forums about what emo is. Funnily enough, I wouldn’t think of this tee as emo, which was probably the point, its funny, its irreverent, and most importantly, it lets us know that razor blades are fun, and that’s a message we can all get behind.

I guess that for most people in the street this will just look like a cool, colourful tee, which is great, but what you’re really after is the nods of recognition from people that notice that the colours being used are cyan, magenta, yellow and black (why isn’t it CMYB?), the colours used in printing, which I guess is the second little joke since obviously this tee is printed using those colours.I wonder if this tee is actually quite hard to print for Bountee, since with mosr designs if you’re a bit off its not too important since people are usually looking at the design, whereas with this an accurate colour palette is crucial to completing the effect.
