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.
