Emos
Do you know what an Emo is? I do. Sort of. I don’t fully understand it though. There’s a couple of them woking here in the office. They have names like Terry and look like a cross between an under-caffinated goth, a skater punk, and geek. The word itself is short for ‘emotional’ , the music is very punky and shouty as all fuck. They’re weird looking buggers.
Listen to emo Music – Embrace, Fugazi, Split lip, Dag Nasty, Heroin, Antioch
Maybe you’re a bit bored and fancy a change of style? OK, here’s how to do the emo look…..
- short, thick, greasy, dyed-black hair with bangs cut straight across the forehead, and cut high over the ears.
- Actually, any greasy dyed black hair. Bangs in front and spikes in back is very emo too.
- Horn-rim glasses, or at least thick black frames.
- Bald head, furry face (boys only). Goes especially well with horn-rims.
- Heavy slacks, often too tight and short.
- Thin, too-small polyester button-ups in dark colors, or threadbare children’s size t-shirts with random slogans. Button the collar if you got one.
- Clunky black shoes
- Scarves
- Gas station jackets. This has diffused a lot over the years though, it’s no longer exclusive to emo kids. Nowadays, you may want to select a nice corduroy denim jacket.
- Also classic outerwear but quickly diffusing to normality: the famous Blue Peacoat
- Barrettes on boys
- Make-up (male or female)
- Too-small cardigans and v-neck sweaters
- Argyle
- Anorexic thinness. Veganism helps here.
