Urban-Emo: A Fashion Term Coined By Toxin


Emo dressis usually characterized as distinctly non-fashionable, keeping with the movement’s theme of showing little to no interest in all aspects of society. Emo individuals perceive themselves to be outcasts and dress accordingly so as to avoid any appearance of attempting conformity and falling short.

Girls tend to have short, dyed-black hair with the bangs cut straight across, usually done by the individual herself or by a friend, shunning the processed, rubber-stamped appearance of mainstream hairstyles. Jewelry, including facial and other body piercings, is quite common and is kept as natural as is possible — wooden and hemp accessories are extremely popular, and are, again, often homemade. Clothes follow suit, ranging from thrift store finds to handsewn skirts and shirts, often composed of multiple fabrics combined into one article of clothing. Vintage articles are trendy for members of the emo subculture, including 1970s-style shoes and jackets.Urban-Emo has some of those features but for the most part Ubran-Emo is a new age trend that is starting to evolve into more of a fashionable ,edgy,and trendy style. It doesn’t necessarily promote a sad “i hate the world” type attitude but more so of a mysterious,alluring, and glamourous aspect of the original meaning. This cool trend is starting to be seen in Urban like areas throughout the US and I must say i think it’s the coolest thing ever.The nonchalant outlandish attitude behind the style intrigued me to do research further into it. I came across a few eye caughting photos within the world wide web that are in my opionon an idea of what Urban-Emo is!
