i know a few cutters... or at least ex-cutters. quite well actually, and although one isn't emo (oh god.. i don't even want to IMAGINE her emo...), they both seem relatively stable now.
as far as the scene kids... bleh. scene kids suck. what the fuck is the scene anyway? being a POSER? an *emo* poser? there's a difference between being emotional, and using that for art, i.e. painting, music... poetry is shit. well, emo poetry. its all the goddamn same. "woe is me... blah blah."
and the fucked up part is most of these "emo" kids, come from well-off families, families that actually don't have a struggle. the only struggle these kids have is with their own fucking identity. having mtv pump shitloads of rap, emo, and this shitty nu dance/alt-"rock" emo-sounding bullshit into their brains. they don't know what cool other than what the tv tells them. you wanna be cool? get your own fucking look, not your gf's pants.
UGH...
and as far as a black emo person?... closest one i can think of is Kenna, but he kinda dropped that look going into the late 2000s...
and that was just a look, his music kicks ass.
