Culture Buzz Hana al-Bayaty of Brussels Tribunal is reporting that between 90 and 100 Iraqi youths have been murdered in a campaign by Shiite militants against homosexuals and Western-style “emo” clothes and haircuts. (via andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com)
Music Buzz Bet you didn't know that Skrillex, the dubstep musician who was just awarded a Grammy for his efforts, used to be just a lame, emo kid with a love for MySpace and taking pictures of himself. Here's a hilarious look back at the history of Sonny Moore.
Eeyore was emo before emo existed. Does that make him the original hipster, too?
Music Buzz What happens when an emo scenester band pisses off another emo band? Brawls happen! Allegedly, members of the band Brokencyde attacked the drummer from Punchline. How do they fight in their tiny, skinny jeans? It's not pretty, guys. He took pretty graphic photo of his injuries.
The bird is dead. Life is meaningless. Poor Julian is dealing with death the only way a sixteen year old can. Through bad poetry.
Culture Buzz An epic Facebook war of words sparked by Fall Out Boy. Weep for our future. Although, srsly, Fall Out Boy is emo.
Music Buzz Not only do these bands have particularly terrible names, but they also have hair that looks like sun-bleached roadkill. Unfortunately, their music is even less impressive!

For those of you who don't know who Rusko Star is, and that's a lot of people, you're in for a treat. It almost seems like he's kidding. I mean, how could any male human being produce something like this? If it's for the purpose of humor, i get it. But i can't tell, so all i can do is be frightened.
Life is so totally unfair and pointless, do you even know how hard it is to be a senior account executive?
A walking humanoid robot that is able to use its whole face and body to express emotion was unveiled today. How is this creepy monstrosity going to help the elderly by effectively miming disgust? It's like wanting my toaster to convince me that my toast is cooked with a little T.L.C. Who cares? The Japanese.
Emo bunny doesn't care. They probably sell these at the pet store in the mall next to Hot Topic.
So emo it hurts (to focus the lens). back up vocals by Ben Gibbard. [Editor's Note: Brooks Island National Park is an extremely sincere, emocore side project from BuzzFeed reader Coop. Create your very own band and debut album by following the instructions on the Wikipedia Band Name Generator.]
