“I've never recognized 'emo' as a genre of music. I always thought it was the most retarded term ever. I know there is this generic commonplace that every band that gets labeled with that term hates it. They feel scandalized by it. But honestly, I just thought that all the bands I played in were punk rock bands. The reason I think it's so stupid is that - what, like the Bad Brains weren't emotional? What - they were robots or something? It just doesn't make any sense to me.” ThinkingKnowsFeelsReasonHateTermBrainRocksStupidEmotionalBandHonestlyGenrePunkRobotsCommonplacePunk RockRock BandsRetardedGenericEmoGenres Of Music Author:Guy Picciotto

“I don't like the way most people think. It's imprecise. I find that when parents ask me questions, they ask very imprecise questions. They say, "My kid has behavioral problems at school." Well, I have to say, "What kind of problems? Is he hitting? Is he rude? Does he rock in class?" I need to narrow questions to specifics. I am very pragmatic and intellectual, not emotional. I do get great satisfaction when a parent says, "I read your book, and it really helped me."” PeopleThinkingWayNeedsWellsKindDoeBookProblemKidsSchoolAsksParentClassRocksEmotionalIntellectualSatisfactionAsk MeHittingRudePragmaticSpecifics Author:Temple Grandin
