How To Define Emo Clothes

Emo clothes are a hard thing to define if you have no idea of what they may be. Emo clothes are inspired by a type of music, which has its roots in early eighties hardcore. You could say that emo is combined with more melodic and experimental music. Like all forms of expression, emo clothes are representative of that image. People dressing in emo clothes like to be noted for their individuality and expression, yet they are in danger of all looking the same. The problem with emo clothes is that they are worn as a kind of uniform. Unfortunately, although dressing in emo clothes is supposed to say something about how rebellious and individual you are, if you dress the same as others you do run the risk of looking like you are dressing to a pattern, therefore going against everything that emo clothes represent. A classic sign of emo clothes are the ill fitting garments. Everything to do with emo clothes are about rebellion, and therefore most of the items worn in emo clothes are ill fitting – too tight or too baggy. Emo clothes are usually worn in layers, with cardigans and v-neck jumpers stretched tightly over undershirts. The whole image with emo clothes is one of disarray, of taking the conventional and turning it upside down. Emo clothes are limited to an age group, that of the teenage rebellion. Sometimes adults do dress in emo clothes, but it is mostly limited to the teenagers who listen to a certain type of music and want to express themselves through dress. Because of this emo clothes do not have a loyal group who are committed. People wearing emo clothes are constantly changing; growing out of emo clothes and therefore it is a hard group to define – like many fashion groups.
