There is scarcely any person today who hasn't heard about representatives of emo culture, famous as emo boys and emo girls, or in common emo kids. Emo is a subculture of youth originated from the amateurs of the style in music with identical name. You meet emo kids daily, though probably you don't pay attention to their particular style. With a general inclination to stand out of the crowd each person with a non-standard appearance seems like just expressing his own personality.

Firstly, the term "emo" descends from the word "emotional", so the basic rule for emo boys and girls is to express emotions. They are considered to be very sensitive to what is going on around them and intolerant to injustice. They particularly emphasize sublime love. That's why there is a stereotype opinion of emo kids as whining boys and girls.
Emo kids have a specific style in order that they're easily recognized. Their general hairstyle is a slanted fringe covering one eye and short hair standing on end on the back. The preference is given to straight black hair. Emo girls usually give preference to child's hairstyle, for instance bows and pigtails. Both female and male representatives of emo culture generally get the ears pierced. They also sometimes have piercing on the face or other parts of body. Emo boys and girls also generally underline eyes with black mascara or eyeliner, while the lips are made close to the color of skin.
Regarding the clothes, emo kids give preference to the combination of black and pink color. Black color refers to depression caused by being rejected and misunderstood. Pink emphasizes hopes of emo boys and girls for the future and their challenge to the common gloominess. These 2 colors are traditional for emo representatives, but other provocative color combinations are also used. Tight jeans, T-shirts and sneakers are the most popular clothes for emo representatives.
Emo culture is a particular trend of contemporary young people that assists them in expressing themselves and finding new friends who understand their vulnerable soul. |
