Showed this thread to my friend his answer was perfect, and I quote

"Give up your seats for emos!"


On a more serious note, I would have guessed it meant people with pacemakers or similar, so yeah heart conditions.

Although it would also be nice if people gave up a seat for someone feeling emotional!


*edit*
I find this poster MOST RELEVANT.

A seat for manic depressives? Suicidal people? hmm~ might not catch on.

You often see signs near the priority seat one asking people to turn off their phones if they're sat close to them as well as give up a seat. Apparently some mobile phone frequencies can screw around with some pacemakers. 8/

Are you saying that emos generally are/do that?

Not everything you read (I suppose that's your source?) is actually true concerning emos. Unless you've seen some committing suicide, or being a depressive mania, or even being with one to have a general idea about the sub-culture, I don't really think you should label them that.

Emo means emotional - It doesn't necessarily mean depressive. Happiness is an emotion.


But yeah, I wouldn't give them a sit.

Edit: I'm not an emo, but I have plenty of friends who are.

Err... no, I wasn't. Didn't even occur to me anyone would link it back like that. I was talking about depression and suicidal tendancies in general.

What with the generally high rate of stress amongst Japanese working people.

and their using the train a lot. 8/

But I can see how you jumped to that.

Indeed it makes sense if you put it that way. I followed your quote and thought you were talking about emos.

Not that I'm the protector of emos, it's just that I know a lot of good people who are emo.
