A pyro (short for pyromaniac) is a common type of outcast teenager that has about as much angst as a goth kid, but instead of writing stupid poetry or cutting themselves, they take their pain out by blowing shit up, as in a pyro's motto: "ROFL SAWCIETEE SUX0RZ SO LETS BLO SHIT UP".

Masturbation injuries are common among pyros.

OH NO! NOW ILL BE GROUNDED FROM THE INTERNETS FOR WEEKS!!

Pyros killed Ty Longley and Half of Rhode Island's Population.

Typical pyros are mostly basement dwelling losers who want to get back at their classmates or the police for actually having a life. Pyros will gain most of their knowledge by reading 20 year old text files and by surfing around Geocities pages with plenty of flame gifs and spinning skulls. Their Bible is the famous Anarchists Cookbook which has plenty of awesome "recipes" for "social change" (i.e. a shitty excuse for random vandalism). They believe that this knowledge gives them some sort of power, in spite of the fact that 90% of text files will do nothing or just kill you.

Politically just like anarchists, pyros are violent anti-authority freaks who believe that W is the source of all of their problems. These problems range from how they can't get laid to why did the hardware store clerk reported them for buying five boxes of stump remover.

When talking on the internets about making explosives, they will try to trick the police by saying they "dreamed" about making a bomb. You are not fooling anyone. If a pyro lives up to the age of 19, he will definitely turn into a survivalist.
