The YouTube Sensation Alex recently posted a new video over at Youtube.com. She had a message for all the people out there that was “EMO” hating. My first thought was “why is so many people hating that muppets character?”. Well it didn’t take me long to see I was getting “EMO” confused with the lovable character “ELMO”.

As you can see no one could hate “ELMO”, because he loves you!

So who are these ”EMO” people that Alex is talking about and why do people hate them? I had to do a search at Google and see what information I could find. This is one small description I found:

“Emo is a type of music. Short for emotional. However, a lot of people have taken beyond the music and turned it into a way to dress.”

That is just one of the million definitions I found on the word Emo. Emo is viewed at in many different ways by many different people. It seems that it mostly involves young people, wearing dark clothes, piercings all over the body, and are often depressed in some sort of way. I found a lot of websites debating just what emo was and the differences go on and on. I did ask my 13 year-old nephew and he was very familiar with the term. So I guess it’s just one of those things the younger crowd know about.

Alex Calls Out the Emo Haters

Alex seems to have touched on a hot topic. There was 82 comments on this video at YouTube last time I checked. It seems a lot of people have a lot of strong comments on the topic of emos.

Alex is really busy in school and doing other things right now. I will try to put up more videos soon and we can continue to watch Alex work her way through high school and whatever else might be out on the horizon from this talented teen from Mexico.

***For the record Alex was talking about Emo and not “Elmo” haters. So everyone (including Alex) loves Elmo from Sesame Street!

“Sunny day - Sweepin’ the clouds away,
On my way to where the air is sweet.
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street.

Come and play, everything’s A-OK
Friendly neighbors there that’s where we meet
Can you tell me how to get
How to get to Sesame Street”
