EVERYBODY HURTS: AN ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO EMO CULTURE - AVAILABLE APRIL 24, 2007

About Me


Everybody Hurts is a humor book about all things emo. It was written by Leslie Simon, who is the managing editor of Alternative Press, and Trevor Kelley, who is a leading contributor for the magazine.If you were looking at the back of it right now, this is what it would say:Once a confessional form of punk rock that was emotional as it was loud, emo is now an undeniable cultural phenomenon with its own accompanying language, style and ideology.By tracing the scene's angst-y roots from William Shakespeare to bands who dress like William Shakespeare (cough--Panic! at the Disco--cough) coauthors Leslie Simon and Trevor Kelley have created the definitive handbook for the heart-on-your-sleeve set.Touching on topics such as fashion and the Internet, music and movies, eating habits and adulthood, Everybody Hurts sucsessfully identifies what it means to be emo in the present tense.So stop writing that teary-eyed LiveJournal.com entry. Quit stalking Conor Oberst. Press "pause" on Donnie Darko. This is your book.If you would like to buy a copy, you can do so by clicking right here .We also have pins that look like this and that you can get by sending a letter and a stamp here:
