Re: Emo Games
Quote:
Recently, as emo has edged its way into the public consciousness, non-fans of the genre (and even some ironic fans) have taken to using the term as a condescending insult, representing the stereotype of the angst-filled and overly-dramatic teenager. Examples include "cheer up, emo kid" or "don't mind him, he's just being emo."
"Emo fashion" seems to be directly derived from pre-existing punk and goth fashions and retains staples from these two, including the tendency for dyed, flat matte black hair and multiple piercings; in particular, labrets and ear "plugs" are prominent. Eyeliner on the males is common. Wrist accessories such as plastic bracelets and wristbands are typical. So-called "emo glasses", identified as thick, black-rimmed "nerdy" glasses, are embraced as a quintessential emo accessory. Rolled-up (and often times form-fitting) jeans and t-shirts displaying sarcastic slogans or images of old-time cartoons are popular as well. More recently, many aspects of emo fashion have become mainstream and are regularly sold at stores like Hot Topic.
Emo fashion, according to its proponents, is deeply rooted in a "being proud of who you are", anti-consumer subculture. Critics of the fashion point out that it has become so mainstream that it has become shallow and antithetical to this notion. To this extent, various websites and magazines have taken to poking fun at "emo kids" and stereotypical emo fashion, some offering guides to "making yourself emo".
