A combination of punk and hardcore music genres are the basis of the emo subculture. The term "emocore" originates from emotional hardcore and dates back to the middle of the Eighties. The first emocore adherents of the subculture began to add melodic elements to their tunes. Sorrow, love, sense of guilt are the main topics of their songs. Thus, the emo style could be defined as rock with emotional lyric elements. However, the definition of the emo style is still a matter for debate. Though the emo subculture was originally considered a music genre, now it is referred not only to music, but also to behavior, clothes, style and the way of life. The emo style is thought to be unfashionable. This way emo representatives show that they are uninterested in all aspects of society. Being outcasts, emos demonstrate their non-conformity to existing social rules and standards through the emo style. Tight-fitting jeans and T-shirts, with printed names of popular emo groups, skate sneakers, richly colored stockings, a wide choice of accessories, badges, bangles contribute to the image of an EMOtional young person. The emo fashion is also recognized for its hairstyles. Popular looks are long side-swept bangs, commonly covering one or both eyes. Straightened and colored black hair is also a part of the emo trend. Hair is ordinarily highlighted blue, pink, red, or bleached blond. At the outset of the third millennium, the emo style was associated with a clean look, but as the style spread to teenagers, it got darker, with long bangs and emphasis on the color black replacing sweater vests. Emo adherents are extremely vulnerable people. Specialists define them as introverts who do not want to socialize with the world around. Instead, they display their viewpoints by means of poetry. Poems they compose are full of sorrow, nostalgia and desperation. Normally these emotions are typical of youngsters aged 12 - 18, when they are emotionally unstable. For most emo representatives emoism becomes a way of life. |
