Typically music-based fads follow the fashion of prominent members of the music genre.??I spoke of flannel and grunge earlier.??Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam all had at least one member who wore a flannel shirt over a tee.??This was mainly due to the fact that Washington is cold and wet, but fans caught it as a fashion statement.??w/e??The same goes with the holes in the knees of jeans.??It's kind of hard to care about new pants when you're strung out on heroin.??Plus, the holes do loosen up the jeans and make 'em nice and comfy.??Nonetheless, early '90's fashion statement.

I can't say where the bangs over the eye come from.??I know a lot of women have worn hair like that over the past few decades and I know Emo boys tend to like to act like girls, so... Also, you do see that kind of style in some Asian cartoons which you will then see grow in the human population.??I wouldn't be surprised if some Emo-band-guy saw the fad and thought it was cool.??Of course, this Emo-band-guy being a star would make others want to wear the ridiculous hairdo.

So far there haven't been a lot of Emo suicides.??You can pretty much throw it in with the grunge category on the people killing themselves because they and the music they listen to is sad - there's not that many.??However, the cutting is bothersome.??I've never liked it (who does like to see someone they love slashing themselves because they think it makes them feel better?), and it is rather popular within the Emo subculture, sadly.??I just wish the "artists" would argue that maybe there's a better way to deal with your problems than cutting yourself.??Instead, "I cut myself because I'm sad," they could write something like, "Maybe I should stop for a minute or go for a walk and really think about what just happened so I can make sense of it and not let the next time hurt me so badly."??That's just me, though.??I don't like traveling in circles.

I'm not sure if they actually do buy or wear women's pants.??My friend and I just use the "sister's pants" line because it's funny.??They probably just buy tight-fitting jeans or possibly even sizes too small for them.??A big thing in Emo is the frail, helpless look.??Wearing your clothes as tight as possible makes you look smaller, skinnier, and weaker than were you to wear some Jncos and an XL sweatshirt.

What were these kids getting pelted with???I was confused by your first post mentioning the balloons.??I was wondering how one pelts with balloons.??Now I understand but I'm still confused as to the euphemism.


Now, Lolita... wth is that???The last I knew Lolita was either a woman of Spanish decent or a term applied to a girl of illegal age in pornography. 0.o?
