I want to say YDI until I remembered that I am the person who posted on someones facebook if they were still alive.... they were not.

YDI. People love to **** all over emos or goths, and not realize WHY they dress like that. For some it's not just a fashion sense, or phase. Some have legitimate mental illness like depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts etc and it's a way of coping or expressing themself. Dark colors to match their emotions and thoughts. Glad to see karma finally getting around to this issue.

Two prejudices for the price of one!
