GETTING EMO LOOK

Getting That Emo Look

What does it mean to be emo? To be emo, you have to know its history and effect in its followers. The emo punk movement began in the early ‘80’s, which began a new wave of devout followers of rock music.

However, by the early ‘90’s, the emo movement began to cool down and became unpopular. This would not be the case for long. By the late ‘90’s, the movement was born again – with a new generation of devout followers. The movement has been going strong ever since then.


To put it plainly, being emo is about expressing your innermost feelings and being a part from “normal” people. Being emo is about being unique and emotional. You can cry without worrying about being ridiculed by others, wear hair and clothes of different colors that express your feelings, and just being yourself.


So how does one adopt the emo look and style? The answer is easy and so is the transformation to being an emo. If you’re ready to step into the world of becoming emo, you will need the following:

1. A dark or light eye shadow
2. Dark or light eye liner (liquid or crystal)
3. Mascara (color is your choice)
4. Chapstick or light lipstick tones
5. Loose powder (one that is a shade or two lighter than the tone of your skin)
6. Moisturizer

Follow the below steps for adopting the emo style:

1. Apply the moisturizer to your neck and face. Make sure the moisturizer is firmly applied to these areas, or the makeup won’t last very long. To give an added look to your emo face, use moisturizers that are made with sun block. This makes the face look more pale.


2. Since being emo rests on you looking pale, you should make sure your face look as pale as possible. To achieve this, you would take the color foundation and apply it to your skin.

3. After that, you would take the powder and apply it to your skin. If you’re a girl and wear tops that show the upper chest area, put the powder on that area as well.


4. Place a bit of the eye shadow around the eyes. If you’re a guy, skip this step or use black or gray eye shadows. If you’re a girl, use pink, red, purple, green, black, and grey eye shadows.

5. Take away any excess eye shadow on top of the eyelids by brushing it off with a Q- tip. For beginners, use a soft, black eyeliner and apply it on the upper and inner part of the eyes. Try to stay close to the eyelash line when going this. For experienced people, use should use liquid eyeliners.


6. Apply the loose powder to keep the makeup in place.

7. Use and put two coats of black mascara around the eyes. Make sure not to put them too close together, or this will mess up the makeup.

8. If you’re a guy, use lip balm to place around your mouth. For girls, use pale or light-colored-lipstick, to finish off your emo look.

EMO STEREOTYPES

Emo Stereotypes

Emo culture and music is well and alive today. Being emo is the greatest thing on Earth to many people. An emo, or emotional person likes to openly show their feelings and is usually reserved from the outside world.


As the emo punk movement rose, so did some misnomers about them. The main misconception about emo culture is that it is tied to the goth culture, but this is not the case, since goth people tend to be lively towards the world and they wear darker clothing.


In addition, Goths have white-chalked faces and wear Gothic clothing/jewelry, while emo people wear more of multicolored jewelry, clothing, and hair, with some black. Emos also wear body piercings in odd places of the body, such as belly button, nose, and even lips.


If you want to know the true history of emo culture, you should back to the 1950’s, when rock music was born. From then on, rock music became very popular and from different sub-rock groups, like punk, heavy metal, and hardcore rock.


But there’s one thing both cultures have in common – they both have created uproar from conservatives and even some moderates. In many places, both parents and teachers has express their concerns about the emo culture and its negative effect on young kid’s minds.


They argue that emo music promotes violence and murder and that the culture should be done away with all together. It is true that the emo/gothic/punk culture promotes, on some levels, violence, and strife, it is no different from the bullying and other evils that face young children today.

At some point, parents should be responsible for the kid’s actions and stop looking to outside sources to deal with their liking of emo culture. Also, these kids should realize that the vampires and dark stuff that this moment is associated with is a fantasy and not real.


In addition, another stereotype associated with rock punks is they are all associated with Nazi/white supremacist groups. This is not the case since most emos do not associate with groups of this nature, although some do.
