A mixture of punk rock and hard-core music genres are the basis of the emo subculture. The term "emocore" comes from emotional hard-core and is thought to have appeared the middle of the Eighties. The first representatives of the subculture began to add melodic features to their tunes. Sorrow, love, sense of loneliness are common topics of their songs. Thus, the emo style could be defined as rock with emotional lyric elements. Still, the definition of the emo style is still a matter for debate. Although the emo subculture was originally regarded as a music genre, these days it is referred not only to music, but also to conduct, fashion, hair style and the way of life. The emo style is believed to be unfashionable. This way its adherents demonstrate that they are uninterested in all aspects of society. Being outcasts, emo adherents display their non-conformity to existing social rules and regulations through the emo style. They wear skinny jeans, often in bright colours, and tight t-shirts, with names of emo groups printed on them. Common accessories in the emo fashion are studded belts and black wristbands. Piercing is also one of the forms of embellishing the body that is popular with emo representatives. Black Converse sneakers and skate shoes, such as Vans, are commonly worn by emo adherents. Some males also prefer thick black horn-rimmed glasses. The emo fashion is also known for 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. Blue, red, pink or bleached blond highlights are highly stylish. At the beginning of the third millennium, the emo style was associated with an impeccable look, but as teenagers adhered to the style, it became darker, with long bangs and emphasis on the colour black. Emo adherents are highly sensitive people. Psychologists consider them introverts who do not want to socialise with the world around. Instead, they display their standpoints by means of poetry. Poems they write are full of sorrow, nostalgia and desperation. Normally these emotions are typical of teens aged 12 - 18, when they are emotionally sensitive. For most emo adherents emoism becomes a way of life. |
