'Your number's up' has existed far longer than DOOM has. It's basically just the take a number thing with the situation being waiting for something bad.
Emo, short for 'emotion', is a loose style and marketing-genre of music. Recognizable traits include seeming to descend from Smiths' albums, haircuts that allow blinding bangs-lengths, poor use of make-up, shirts you could've worn as a little kid, with your fave cartoon character on them, still at kids' sizes, and cutting. Hence the joke about how the guy wishes his grass were emo, so it'd cut itself. None of these traits are, however, necessary, nor is believing that music prior to and outside of emo never had any soul or emotion. These are simply prominent and earmarks of a thing gone too far.
If you think of what Jimmy Eat World slowly turned into, that's emo.
It also used to be called the whinier aspects of goth, punk, or youth-in-general.
Wikipedia surely has more and proper explanations. They may even be un-biggoted, which my answer isn't, really. |
