What is it with "Emo-Haters" on YouTube?
I want to ask this because I always get trolls on YouTube replying to my comments under videos saying stuff like "you need a beating, emo ***" and "EMO LOSER". I don't even have any pics of myself on my channel, but I guess the username gives it away, and I do listen to Hawthorne Heights.
But my question is, why do they even care? What difference does it make to them what music I listen to? The way I dress? My username?
No hateful answers please, thanks.

"why do they even care?" - .. they don't care. They just see you as an easy target.
It is the nature of animals to attack minorities and those who are weak or different. A flock of sparrows will attack a budgie because it is coloured differently... it is a survival trait.
These people generally build up their own self esteem by putting down others.. and the internet is no different. They see it as building up their own 'rep' by slamming others, and there are so many sheep out there who follow this people that they start to believe their b*lls**t themselves.
Personally I like it when these people are out and meet a gang of people face to face... they rip them on the internet but they meekly put their heads down and try to become invisible in real life (unless they have got a bunch of their mates with them to make them feel brave).
The problems with "emos" is that people see it as weak to have emotions on display, that is why they are targeted...
It is just another form of bullying, but these people are so weak that they have to do it while tucked away in their own homes, so they 'feel' safe.
They will attack emos, gays, young children, old women ... anyone as long as they don't feel threatened themselves.
EDIT: btw , I did find Hughs answer funny though...
also, I don't think religion was a part of the question J_disciple, yeah they pick on us christians too... boo hoo... get a grip, no wonder you get picked on god boy

tough question
I can think of a few different explanations; I'm not sure if any of them are the right one though
It can be because that there's a lot of bored people who just write stuff for the sake of writing it; and they tend to bash on anyone they can
It could be because that there's a lot of people who have a unexplainable hatred towards everything that's different
but you know.. any question regarding hate is hard to answer.

It's because you are different or individual. Most of the 'herd' don't like people who are different from them because they don't understand them. It's the same with Christians, many of the herd hate us because they can't understand our belief.
