A friend of mine taught me a new word, Ennui.
I guess I have times when ennui best fits me, days when you are in a funk and not excited about anything, and you just could care less, and don't even know exactly why you feel that way. Maybe you have some reason to be blue, but something larger is looming, and its hard to say what it is. Is it ennui?
At first ennui somehow make me think of an older version of emo. But somehow emo seems more a facade, just a style or genre of person, between goth and grunge. Like emo people would be grungy, but they'd be a more metro version, cleaned, brushed, and styled. And they would be goth, but they have a wider color palate and maybe are a little less dark. (just random thoughts in my head I bothered to type)
Well back to ennui, is that perhaps just outright depression? I don't know, maybe?

yeah, I totally did not paint that picture, but its seemed to fit
I think everyone has those moments where they feel down. We tend to have different names for it based on the time of our lives and our age. But it isn't any different than what the kids are feeling that are called emo. They just tend to express it differently.
ennui is more just a sense of uncontrollable boredom rather than outright depression, IMHO. And i am also of the opinion that emo is just another way of losing for attention, rather than a scene like goth or grunge was. Though i will admit they do make some catchy music every now and again.
thanx for subscribing, hope i keep you amused!
hmm ..I'm going with
"more just a sense of uncontrollable boredom rather than outright depression" ....

No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.
