I agree. I hate it when sadness is automatically associated with a steryotype... That's a reason why I have a difficult time confiding in people when I'm sad--I'll just get called "emo".

True. I've never heard anyone call people 'emo' without a good reason, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Um, anyway, I think this poem could do without '**'. It doesn't seem to add anything other than a sense of anger, as far as I can tell.
