I had to miss last Saturday’s episode of “El-Hakika” [The Truth] on Dream TV 2 and I did not know what Wael Al Abrashi was discussing nor the guests he was hosting. I asked my mom who did not watch the whole episode except for few minutes then she turned the channel.She told me that Al Abrashi hosted a group of young people with very strange and ugly hair cut and dark clothes,she did not remember what they were speaking about and I forgot to follow the matter,there was a sand storm which seemed to me much more interesting then.
But then I found Masrawy.com is speaking about that episode in some exclusive coverage which I do not understand that exclusive part in it !!
I found out that they were speaking the Emo fans in the Egyptian society and how Wael Al Abrashi considered this a very alarming phenomena in our society.
With my all respect I do not like Emo and I feel sorry for its fans who need to see some shrink “I do not insult them but those boys and gals need some attention and already they are seeking it with their looks and behavior” but Wael Al Abrashi needs to focus on much important issue in our society as he used to do.
The Emo fans are not the new Satanists and not everyone wears black clothes will be a Satanist for God sake !! Yes they need some guidance but not to be considered the new freak show in the town for boys and gals go wild and to be arrested by the police because they wear black clothes and wear dark make up !!
Already I do not consider them as danger on the society for God sake ,look to their existence in the facebook .There are more than 9 active Emo groups in the Facebook from Egypt. The membership starts as low as to 13 members up to 604 members. Some of these groups are by invitation , I think that the episode impact made the admins think in making it private. The episode was a direct accusation to them after all.
Most of the Emo fans in Egypt are more like Emo punk music fans , it is not a matter of life style here in our society , it will be very hard to adopt the Emo lifestyle in Egypt.
There is a huge misunderstanding I am afraid , I do not know if it is deliberate or not
I watched the episode, and I didn't even know such thing exists. I had to search the whole 'EMO' thing and I got shocked.
ReplyDeleteDear Zeek , the Emos are not that dangerous like the Satanists
ReplyDeleteOf course I have to admit that their looks are so shocking and scary
They are NOT scary!I'm an Egyptian emo fan,and i don't wear black clothes and makeup
DeleteBut I'm looking forwart to TRYING it!because all the emos in Egypt,are just experiencing 'the emo phase'which mwans they'll get out of it soon! If they DON'T, that's juat how they wanna be!but they don't wanna be judged!so what it i go in the streets wearing an black band t-shirt with a shirt boy cut?? We just like it that way!so, just take it or leave!but DON'T tell us that we're danger yo the society,because we are EXACTLY like all the other citizens,but we look different! Please understand that!

I love ur article and i do agree that they r sick ppl who need to see a shrink and they r trying to get attention
ReplyDeleteWE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ATTENTION!!! WE DON'T EVEN EXPECT IT!!WE JUST LIKE THESE TYPES OF CLOTHES AND THESE BANDS!I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU THINK WE'RE SOME KIND OF DEMONS????? WERE ALL EQUAL AND WE'RE ALL THE SAME!!STOP SAYING WE NEED HELP!FOR GOD FUCKING SAKE,DANCERS(girls) IN EGYPT WEAR THE MOST REVEALING CLOTHES IVE SEEN,AND YOU DON'T JUDGE THEM??? WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF INJUSTICE AND UNFAIRNESS IS THIS????
DeleteHaha! It finally reached our messed up younger generations! Whether you like to admit it or not, these kids are quite ballsy to dress like that and feel open and comfortable about it in the streets of Egypt. And Zeek, seriously ya3ni... you hadn't heard of Emos before? We really need to hang out.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!!!THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UNDERSTANDING!!!
DeleteI don't think "sick" is the right word I feel everyone should seek professional help psychologically because of the demands of our the society and the fear of a terrorist attack at any point (especially if you don't share the beliefs of the terrorist as a Muslim or not) you can't just blame these kids for feeling emotional. I feel like mental health is a subject that Arabs in general choose to ignore but it's so important to have a country that's more accepting of different ideas and not as dangerous. But what do I know ����♀️
Delete@anonymous, yes they are ,they do not need all that attention from security
ReplyDelete@S. Well pardon me but I am from older generation , I do not usually hang out in these places those young people are there ;)
