Emo Real Life

Nobody want to interact with unstable mental person, means wild, with skinny jeans.
Man with fear, no courage, nor brave to talk gently with another guy. Or so with emo label, means long hair, black eyes, lips, carrying drugs everywhere while depressed and thought that the life won't give them any of joy ( note that not every emo person just like in my description ).

People always saw them everywhere on the streets, full body tattoo, but little girly in style. But actually,  this kind of depressed is culturally, judged to be worse than what they were. The more people judge them, the more them, to resist social, and sometimes become anarchist.

What i'm going to write on this page is simple, everyone who think emo is cool, some fashion with hoody, jeans, or skinny shirt, just don't make it so complicated. I know that everyone who read this post, will think it's bullshit things, but think about it, don't dress to looks like what you don't know much. And to everyone who think emo is cult, person with incapability of managing themself and so their life, don't think like this. Fashion is kind of blur things lately.

Anyway, i was raised in punk society, people who love punk gigs, not like pop punk and some shit or garbage major recs trash that play the culture make us disappoint for it.
I play guitar for many band, my punk band those sounds like Antiflag, NOFX, etc, my britpop band ( sounds like Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, The Smith),  iceland music ( shoe gaze etc. ).
I was totally dress with mohawk hair cut, skinny jeans, doctor martin shoes i bought original one from UK. It seems comfortable because what ? Because i was raised in the manner of its, not because "whoa ! this is cool ! i want to be like them !" - those teenagers say everyday. I don't care what kind of music i play, because it doesn't matter to me, "hey, i feel so comfortable wearing all of these, anyone don't like me or my style, just go away, go fuck yourself"

So, anyone who come and see this post should be generally splits into two sides, both of pro and contra, but

an old quote sounds true to everyone :
Don't judge a book from its cover !

Here, it's kind of gift from many person i know, my ex band partners, and others, not emo, but you'll enjoy all of it :)



Gloves - Emo Fashion Tips

Another rule for being emo is, wearing your gloves :p
Many people ask me for this, "is wearing somekind of gloves would refer us to emo guys ?"
It is not actually, but it only give you the proportion fashion for being emo.
Remember, the proportion, doesn't mean the mainly part of thing, but give support either.
All you have to remember is, emo, is not kind of style, with dressed emo then we will become an emo personally, but it's a soul.
Oke, let's get back to the topic, Gloves.
Wearing gloves will give us some artistic of Emo looking, though make you more comfortable while being outside, as we know that emo guys are mainly the culture of broken home and something like that :p
ok now, take a look some pictures here i added from many sites like google, that nearly catch by emo fashion style.

Here the pictures ( fingerless gloves example ) :






Skinny Jeans

Second rule being EMO


Skinny jeans have a very totally fit through the legs and ended with small leg opening, depending on the size of you choose. Skinny jeans known as pegs, skinny pants, pencil pants, drainpipes, etc. Skinny jeans is very taper at the bottom of the leg, it has super fit size for your leg, that's why emo boys sometimes looks like a girl, because the girl wear it often.
Sometimes wear skinny jeans completely convert boys into girls, that's sounds bad right ? But anyway, the emo fashion demands that. So, the boys who being emo wearing emo fashion got insulted frequently, but it doesn't matter, if you choose your style to be right that. :p

These are some pics i took from google about emo skinny jeans

Craig Owen - Product of Property

It's a start of a new year,
And as always, things are exactly the same.
I'm watching my closest get so far from me,
And I've never felt so alone.

I said all I could say,
Not a single thing has changed.
I left them here to doubt me,
They laugh, and then they leave.
I've realized now I'll never become anything.

Another long night of being strung out and alone.
Another night of hearing things
And having messed up dreams.
Another day of rejection.
The people I love seem to be giving up on me.

So, yes, it's true,
I'm snortin' lines off of the same books that I read.
And I dream of living in late night kitchen conversations.
So now you know, I try to soak up inspiration any way I can.
And if it's so hard to believe what I say,
Then I should stop speaking.

Another long night of being strung out and alone.
Another night of hearing things
And having messed up dreams.
Another day of rejection.
The people I love seem to be giving up on me.

(Products of poverty)

Just learn to love yourself.
Just forget the rest for now,
And learn to love yourself.
Just forget the rest for now,
And learn to love yourself.

Another long night of being strung out and alone.
Another night of hearing things
And having messed up dreams.
Another day of rejection.
The people I love seem to be giving up on me.

Another long night of being strung out and alone.
Another night of hearing things
And having messed up dreams.
Another day of rejection.
The people I love seem to be giving up on me.


The Used - Light with a Sharpened Edge

Free from the torment of sin
All this I'm giving up much as
The sun would decide to give in
Explode into orange and
Hear all the voices sing praises with hymns
Mark the birth of a change
Free from the torment of sin
All this I'm giving up

It's not me
Bury wreckage my soul
It's not me
So who am I now?

Over and over again
Light with a sharpened edge
Cuts through the black empty space we call sky
Beginning the cycle that stays
And I know in my heart we all die

Like the day and the night
Like the sun in the sky
All this I'm giving up

It's not me
Bury wreckage my soul
It's not me
So who am I now?

It's not me
Bury wreckage my soul
It's not me
So who am I now?

Is there another side
Beyond the black and white?
A place I could meet you by
A place on the other side
I'll let you know when I go
I'll let you know when I go
When I'm gone

It's not me
Buried wreckage my soul
It's not me
So who am I now? (x3)

See ? There's a rejection in their words, and so many pain we feel after we read about it isn't it ?

Emo Tatoo

Emo, as we know it's like a culture grown in a sadness, gloomy, but usually caught covered by scream, anger, hatred, so emo culture is supressing 2 sides emotion, sadness, gloomy and tear that express in scream, anger, hatred.
The theory is same as emo fashion, usually emo boys or emo girls wear something casual, but looks like tacky, contrast, but cool and great style i think. There we are, we could put tatoo in the same way thought.

Emo tatoo contains 2 sides dramatical line, dot, and color. There's no rules for planting tatoo to your body, but there's a string to be an emos. So i catch you some of picture that give you any suggestion before you get some tatoo.

    What is Emo ?

    Depending on Wikipedia Emo is :

    Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk rock bands, its sound and meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s by groups such asJawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. By the mid 1990s numerous emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the style.
    Emo broke into mainstream culture in the early 2000s with the platinum-selling success ofJimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional and the emergence of the subgenre "screamo". In recent years the term "emo" has been applied by critics and journalists to a variety of artists, including multiplatinum acts and groups with disparate styles and sounds.
    In addition to music, "emo" is often used more generally to signify a particular relationship between fans and artists, and to describe related aspects of fashion, culture, and behavior.
