Emo

Emo kids like to express their feeling writing poems about their problems with depression, confusion, and anger; all because the world fails to understand them. Emo poetry uses a combination of any of: a highly emotional tone, stream of consciousness writing, a simple (ABAB) or nonexistent rhyme scheme, references to the flesh, especially the heart, heavy use of dark or depressing adjectives, and concern over the mutability of time, love or both. Themes such as life is pain are common. You can check some 'emo poems' on our forum! Altough life is already very hard for them, emo kids have to suffer for even more society prosecution because of their condition.

Why emo doesn't mean emotional :-

Now more of the truth. I'm going to make this as easy to understand as possible.

Now I'm all for evolution, I believe in evolution after all! Even in terms of words; gay use to mean "happy" now it can either mean, "stupid", "lame" or it's current proper use "homosexual."

However, the term emo is very different. If you claim "emo" were to mean "emotional" it then becomes an all encompassing word, it becomes extremely vague and it has no limit as to what it can and will describe. This is an issue because the term is suppose to (and believed to by the people who use it) to describe one specific thing, when it fact it does the complete opposite. Emo when wrongfully used as "emotional" describes every living thing, every song, every word, every breath, every statement. Why you ask? Because what as no emotion is dead.

Emo was created as a shortened term to describe a specific thing, in this case "emotive hardcore" an off shoot of hardcore punk from the mid 80's. This genre is still alive today, although very obscure and unknown to most. Those who like to shout they're 'emo' usually never heard of any other band than fall out boy.

What many of you are now doing are displaying a vast amount of laziness and gullibility. Why are you wrongfully using the term emo to describe "scene", "fashion core" and sappy mainstream rock? Think before you speak, stop taking short cuts, and stop being the media's bitch.

Emo Fashion

Emo Girl Hairstyles

How to Choose From Emo Girl Hairstyles

Instructions

1. Step 1

   Determine if the length of your hair is conducive to a long or short hairstyle. Notice that most emo girls either have medium length hair or short hair above the shoulders.

2. Step 2

   Decide on a new hair color; drastic change is best when it comes to emo styles so pick something that is in opposition to your current hairstyle. Visit your local hair care shop and pick up a drastically different color. Black and blond mixed are favorites of emo girls.

3. Step 3

   Dye your hair or add a large section of highlights to a section of your hair to create a contrasting variation. Add the color to the front of the head as this is typical protocol for emo and scene kids. Black hair and blond bangs or vice versa is a popular choice for emo girls.

4. Step 4

   Part your hair on the side just beyond the eyebrow and swoop the bangs over one eye to create the signature emo look. The point is to look sufficiently affected and sad so bangs add a bit of drama to an otherwise normal looking hairstyle. Layer your hair to create a romantic style; longer in the back and shorter in the front or longer in the front and short in the back are typical layering techniques used by emo girls.

5. Step 5
   • Style your hair on a daily basis. Curling your hair to create a wave in the back while having straight bangs is very emo and using a straightening iron to create a straight and sleek look on the rest. Consider using hair accessories like black barrettes or headbands, bangs out of course, to create a finished look.
