Comic page 1: a group of young emo people are hanging out in a venue with a banner that reads EMO NIGHT. Outside the venue, an emu is on the phone. He says, “yeah, could you pick me up? I think I misread the flyer.” Suddenly, behind the emu someone exclaims, “hey!”
Page 2: a girl standing in the doorway of the venue says to the emu, “you coming in? The show’s about to start!” The emu, a bit surprised, responds, “oh. Uhh…” Cut to the interior of the venue and the emu is standing in a crowd of people watching a band perform. He seems to be enjoying himself.
Ha! Flyer. That’s the joke right?
They don’t look very emo
It’s like a highschool reunion I guess? At least to me Emo (music) is something that happened a while ago.
Not according to wikipedia though. TIL
Maybe they misread the flyer too ans they all wanted to hang out with emus
more hardcore-emo than pop-emo
Emawwww2hhhll
I remember when the term Emo was new and everyone confused it with Emu
It was actually short for Emutional Hardcore, which got shortened down to EmuCore and later just Emu.
I remember nobody confusing those terms.
Lol yeah, I don’t remember this happening at all. Probably because you could kind of tell from context which word would come up and emu would rarely come up in conversation where I lived as a teen.
I grew up in an area where neither was very common so I guess that’s why. Also, the vowels are still district but closer than in English
Sorry if I’m wrong, but I think you mean distinct.
True
I guess we never met
You’re also not “everyone.”
I might have exaggerated. I’m not claiming universality. To be more precise: In my social group, people confused these words sometimes on purpose but also as a genuine mistake. This might differ completely in other cities and countries
If you don’t use the same vowels in your language, I guess
The vowels are distinct but closer than in English
Everyone seems way too happy. It should be more like this…
They’re usually like that but tonight they’re happy because they have a new emu friend
We hate you please die
Great! I love this one
Awwww 🥹
Emo 🤝 Emu
Did he help them customize their car insurance?
Yeah I’m pretty sure this was meant to be a car insurance advert
Is it just me or is ‘emo’ just ‘goth who can’t/doesn’t want to put in the time, money, and effort to fit the goth aesthetic?’
that… actually makes a lot of sense
