Emo is a style of rock music that is normally characterized by good music and confessional lyrics. Though it has evolved in the mid 1980s when hardcore punk movement was on the rise in the United States of America, it has been revolutionize and still has its own identity in the society. Today, emo is not merely a style of music; it has become a subculture that one can see in the fashion and attitude too. If you want to spot an emo, you will normally find them in torn and faded jeans, bright color T-shirt which is normally short sleeved and vans. They do wear studded belts and a black wristband as black is their favorite color and their trademark hairstyle is world famous, the typical long side swept bangs that would normally cover their eyes.
