Everybody Hurts by Leslie Simon

Everybody Hurts by Leslie Simon

Emo - confessional punk rock - is the first cultural movement born on the Internet, thanks in part to the development of social networking sites like MySpace. Tracing its angst-y roots all the way from Shakespeare to Holden Caulfield to today's most popular bands, this is the definitive handbook to Emo. From the movement's fashion and ideology, to its music, movies and eating habits, it's all covered here with razor-sharp wit.

"A smart, funny and revealing book that's pretty much a must read for kids in the scene" -- Chris Carrabba, Dashboard Confessional "If someone was to ask me, 'What is emo?,' I would hand them a copy of EVERYBODY HURTS." -- Matt Rubano, Taking Back Sunday "[D]estined to become a staple in any emo music lover's book collection ." -- Myspace.com "[T]his book is not only hilarious, but absolutely genius." -- Jason Tate, Absolutepunk.net "[T]he essential book for anyone who fancies themselves emo." -- Sarah "Ultragrrrl" Lewitinn, author of The iPod DJ
