Emo as part of our Community

I have a cousin who dresses like emo and is an emo. How do I know? Once, I asked him, “Why are you dressed like that?” and he said that he was dressed like that to depict that he is indeed an emo. The first feeling that came through me was the feeling of nervousness.

Why? I was nervous because when some people say emo, it means that they are the ones who are cutting themselves when they have problems. Emos are the ones who have the tendency to kill themselves when he/she has a problem. Aside from feeling nervous, I also felt worried because I didn’t expect that one of my cousins, a family member, will be an emo.

Then I asked him, “Why are you emo? Are you aware how society interprets your styles?” He just said that it is his way of showing himself, because of how he dresses his companions accepts who he is. He is accepted by his peers because of his style. I think he felt insulted when I asked that question so I just let him be after that question. Yes, indeed they may have a bad reputation to some of us, but they are becoming a part of our community. We should just accept them and support them for who they are.

EMO TRENDS AND FASHION

Emo Trends and Fashion: The Passion of the Emo

One of the top fashion trend for young teens is dressing and acting emo. What is emo and why has it taken hold on these young folks?


Emo is a style and culture that is based on punk rock music. The music was born out of the rock music of the 1980’s and has grown slowly over the years.


Although, this movement has taken many young people by storm, there are critics of this movement. Some people say it promotes devil worship. Others say its caused kids to commit suicide.

On the later, it maybe have some truth to it, but overall, the emo culture doesn’t not in any way promote devil worship and Satanism.


Moreover, when one talks with an emo follower and asks them if they’re emo, they will say, “what is emo?” To them, they see emo has a personal thing, rather than a cult.
Despite this, they have adopt a style that can be at times very disturbing. The emo culture can be disturbing at times, especially when one observes them and see what they are wearing.
They wear tight clothing, dark eyeliners, colorful or dark clothing/clothing accessories, and constantly display a morose mood.


Now, you must wonder why would they, especially the males, adopt a style such as this? Could it be that it allows guys to lay down their masculine guards, to attract females? Could they simply be depressed by nature? Or, is it something else?

Whatever the answer, the emo fashion movement is alive and well. Now, if you want to dress and look emo, here are a few basic things you need:


- A pair or two or girl’s jeans (even if you’re a guy )
- Girl’s makeup ( cheap makeup will do)
- Emo accessories (colored hair bows, nose rings, etc.)

Now, that you’re emo, you can sport your new emo look and just be you.

EMO ROCK LOOKS

Emo Rock Looks

As the emo culture grows by the day, more and more young teens want to adopt this style. The emo culture was born in the nightclubs of Washington, D.C., in the 1980’s. For a short period, the movement was very strong, until the 90’s arrived and the movement began to die.


But in the past decade, the movement was reborn, with bands such as Panic! At the Disco, Cambria, and Fall Out Boy. It is these bands that represent the emo punk movement.


For those who want to look and dress emo, you should consider this:

- Adopting emo clothing is easier that starting your own emo rock band. This is not to say that these bands are no good. Just that creating an band takes work – real work.

- When you go into a typical salon and request an emo hairstyle like that of emo band members, you may get some weird looks and questions, since these band members are practically unknown.


But, if you are faced with this dilemma, then no need to worry. Creating emo hair is as simple as pie and can be done with cutting your hair with a round-shaped object over it.
The most trendy of this form of haircut is dying the hair jet black. The back and the sides of the hair is shorter than the front, leaving your hair done in an unusual, but unique.


Moreover, the bangs are brushed to on side of the face (left or right), covering that part of the face. To top off the look, you could wear t-shirt and other clothing that has the names of these unknown emo rock bands. Now, you’re ready to go out on the town and style your new emo look.
