Honestly, everything in this movie is so BAD
First of all, the "emos" aren't emo at all - did the producers even GOOGLE the word emo before they made this movie?? You could have put in at least a LITTLE BIT more effort for the characters to look more alternative - besides the bad eyeliner they're all wearing.
The stereotypes on both sides are absolutely terrible; I don't know if that was supposed to be that way and just funny, but IF so, it certainly wasn't. I hate that every emo is portrayed as someone who worships satan or is an atheist at least, and DESPISES everything about christians. That is absolutely not the case, the emo subculture is about accepting people, as are the christian beliefs (to an extent).
Also, the depression and suicide stereotypes are really harmful and offensive; "Depression is selfish - take serotonin"??? "Show the scars"???? "I woke up depressed this morning and it felt amazing"???? This movie portrays a serious mental illness as something "funny" that emos HAVE to have in order to be emo, and that's the only way you can be emo in the first place, hating everyone and everything (which, again, is not actually the case, and also not an accurate representation of depression)
I just think it's not funny at all to make a joke of something this serious, and to feed into stereotypes like these.
There is so much more to say about the plot which didn't quite make sense at all, the weird and unsatisfying ending, the REALLY bad lyrics in all of the songs in this movie, but I'll just leave it at this now.
To conclude: i would absolutely not recommend this
