Apparently it is is "adult emo" to post on MN...

according to the Times Style Mag

well it was quite specific to MILs...not sure how emo they are...

it is supposed to be the equivalent of pouring out your heart in your teenage (lockable, natch ) diary...

Nah....

It's more like bitching about your least fave teacher to your clique in queen-bee/mean girls/cheerleader/popular girl-esque fashion than going 'woe, woe, no-one understands my woe, I am all alone and a sensitive little flower'.

Emos post on their own little locked blogs like livejournal.
