The EMO style is a mixture of punk rock and hardcore music genres. The term "emocore" comes from emotional hardcore and dates back to the middle of the Eighties. Founders of the music style started to add melodic elements to their songs. Sorrow, love, sense of guilt are common topics of their songs. So, the emo style could be defined as rock with emotional lyric elements. Yet, the definition of the emo style is still under debate. Though the emo subculture was originally regarded as a music genre, now it is referred not only to music, but also to behaviour, clothes, hair style and the way of life. The emo style is known as unfashionable. This way emo adherents demonstrate that they are uninterested in social processes. Emo adherents consider themselves outcasts and, thus, display their neglect of existing social rules and regulations through the emo style. Tight jeans and T-shirts, with printed names of popular emo bands, Converse sneakers, brightly coloured stockings, a huge choice of body accessories, badges, bracelets contribute to the image of an EMOtional teen. The emo fashion is also renowned its hairstyles. Popular looks include long side-swept bangs, normally covering one or both eyes. Straightened and coloured black hair is also an emo trend. Hair is ordinarily highlighted blue, pink, red, or bleached blond. At the beginning of the third millennium, the emo style was associated with an impeccable look, but as youngsters adhered to the style, it became darker, with long bangs and emphasis on the colour black superseding sweater vests. Emo representatives are highly vulnerable personalities. Psychologists regard them as introverts who are reluctant to socialise with the world around. Instead, they display their thoughts by means of poetry. Poems they compose are full of sorrow, nostalgia and despair. Typically these emotions are observed in young people aged 12 - 18, when they are emotionally unstable. For a great many emo adherents emoism becomes a way of life. |
