In the years since emo music's rise in popularity, it has attracted severe criticism. Emo has been characterized as a fad that will be discarded and forgotten in the near future. Critics cast the fashion as "embarrassing," and the people as imagining or pretending that they lead harsh, painful lives when they actually live in comfortable homes.
Members of the emo subculture are portrayed as melodramatic, self-pitying teenagers who pour their efforts into writing depressing poetry. The current emo subculture has been called a "sad caricature" of what it once was. Some have accused emo of celebrating self-injury or suicide, which those who do usually refer to "helping ease the pain" . However, physical trauma triggers the release of beta-endorphins, which enhances relaxation and reduces physical pain. Some assert that within some emo circles, many pretend to be suicidal and self-harming as a way to gain acceptance, regardless of whether it is true or not.
