Apparently there’s art to emo. Positing that faking sexual androgyny and and crying into your pillow is a legit lifestyle (who said it wasn’t?), self-proclaimed “o.g. emophiliacs” Leslie Simon and Trevor Kelley push their new novel Everybody Hurts: An Essential Guide to Emo Culture.

Learn how to interact with the world through unwashed hair and red-rimmed eyes. Jasus. How much Linkin park can one really take in a day?

The book’s getting a push on MySpace. Users thus far have given it a rating of 53.3 percent. And lest you be confused, that’s not sub-par, that’s failure. Sing about that, baby.
