Emo is a broad title that covers a lot of different styles of emotionally charged punk rock and unfortunately most people have a horribly limited idea of what emo is, simply because the most important records in the development of emo were largely released in small numbers, and with limited distribution. These were however very influential, and still the their effects could be seen today. There are a lot of kids that listen to third- and fourth-generation emo styles without even knowing it.

The mass of “emo” bands could be split into a few distinct genres. Let us explode the different phase of “emo” bands.

1. Phase one- “emocore” style started in 1984/85 and goes strong, over the years. In the beginning, these bands consisted mostly of people who played in hardcore punk bands, got exhausted in its limited forms, and switch off to a guitar-oriented, midtempo rock-based sound with emotional punk vocals.

2. Phase two –“emo” style started in 1987/88. One of the most recognizable and universal elements of emo shows up in the guitar sound of this style: the octave chord, which allows a high-pitched, driving urgency and a very rich texture. The vocal style is usually much more intense than emocore, ranging from normal singing in the quiet parts to a kind of pleading howl to actual sobbing and crying. Lyrics inclined toward somewhat abstract poetry, and are usually low in the mix and hard to trace.

3. Phase three: “hardcore emo” started in San Diego in 1991 with Heroin was similar to punk – faster, louder, harder, much more intense and single-minded. Most of these bands played extremely fast, and introduce the “chaos” concept to hardcore. The guitars are distorted to the point that notes and chords are hard to recognize.

4. Phase four: “post-emo indie rock” and “post-emo post-hardcore” musically inclines toward a lot of loud/soft interaction, but a lot of softly-sung vocals and very little screaming or harshness.

5. Phase five: “post-emo hardcore”-were the new emo bands using ultra-heavy, ultra-fast wall-of-noise attack blending elements of grind core and Neurosis-style apocalyptic chaos with bleeding-vocal-chords screaming.

The vocal intensity of emo has also been very influential on non-emo styles, as well. However presently it has been found that some bands have amalgamated some diverse emo influences giving it a new style. “Screamo” is that fruit of amalgamation that is being played by few new bands often used by younger fans.

Hair style teen

Teens know what’s going on most of the time when it comes to the fashion industry and the hairstyle choices that are most ‘in’ according to experts. Teens are usually on the cutting edge because they aren’t afraid to try new and exciting styles and they are normally the first to examine the looks of Hollywood icons. Teen hair style can be wide and varied in the look and color; here are some considerations you may want to look at:

* Decide whether you want a new style or are just refreshing your current one! Before you can even begin to utilize a teen hair style you first have to decide what you want. If you are getting a completely new style then browse through some magazines, Teen and 17 are two of the top teenage hairstyle magazines. Also, try looking at your style/ shape face. This will have a lot to do with what hairstyle will work for you because as we all know, not every hairstyle works for every individual! If you are redefining your current style then look at a bang change, a color change or possibly a little trim. * Decide what image you are trying to get across! If you are going for a sporty look, a romantic look or an Emo look you are going to need completely different cuts so knowing your image will help tremendously! Look at your closet to examine your clothes if you want to match your teen hair style with clothes! * Decide on a good hair stylist! If you find a stylist who can imagine your style the way you want it then you have found a great thing! Your stylist obviously has a lot to do with what your end result will look like!

One of the biggest factors in the style of teen hair styles is the Teen Choice Awards. Each year the Teen Choice Awards comes along and the biggest teen celebrities get together in a Grammy type fashion and collect awards for their past year’s performances. It is here that the teens show up with style and flair, often showing off the newest Hollywood trends- which are soon to become teen trends across the country!

Dane Cook, Ashley Simpson and Ashley Olsen are just a few of the big names at this event that influence girls and boys everywhere. Teen hair styles are some of the most unique and flavorful among all the demographics and the Teen Choice Awards bring the top hairstyles to the public each year!

If you take a quick look around Cooeey, you may notice that one term in particular just keeps on popping up, like errant moles under a mallet. What’s that word, you ask? It’s EMO. EMO EMO EMO EMO EMO, everywhere you look.

But what the hell does that mean? Living in this sheltered world of Cooeey, I could be forgiven for thinking the only common traits of “Emos” were a lack of camera tripods and highly disfigured eyes that required covering with a curtain of hair.

Of course, being a thoroughly curious fellow, I felt compelled to find out more. Where did the term come from? Is it short for something? In this msn obsessed world, is it some sort of acronym? (I initially theorised that it stood for Emphatically Moontanned Objects or perhaps Eratic Mainstays of Online Socialising. Erotic Minions of Orlando?)

Obviously that was entirely incorrect, as I would soon discover.

Part One: Emo Music.

Emo music.

The presiding theory is that Emo music originated in Washington DC hardcore scene n the mid 80s. As you may or may not know, hardcore shows often involve large boots flying around at head level, piercings that can catch on things and beverages in containers that do slightly more than tickle when thrown at someone’s head, i.e. they are quite “hardcore”.

The solution was in the case of bands like The Rites of Spring and Embrace to try and counter the violence by taking their writing on a more emotional turn.

It was around this time that fans started to refer to the style as Emo. It was also the start of another trend: People refusing to admit that they are Emo. Both bands, even today, refuse to accept the label.

In a supposedly unrelated event, the first wave of Emo died when the first wave of bands started breaking up in the early nineties.

After a second wave of “Emo styled” music sprang up in the nineties. Bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and Jimmy Eat World were at the forefront of a new “indie Emo” movement, this time centering in Phoenix Arizona. As the spread of the internet grew, older bands like Fugazi that previously never been labeled as Emo started to receive the tag as well, due to a similarity in sound.

Starting to see a trend here? In this ever expanding, internet obsessed world, people start to need keywords or pointers in order to par down the massive swathes of information we receive. It seems that even from the start that the Emo tag was, despite the chagrin of many of the bands it was applied to, a useful way of classifying bands for other fans.

Of course, once fans start engaging with bands on a regular basis, both parties tend to start throwing away the “Emo tag”.

Look at the current generation of groups, like AFI, Funeral for a Friend, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, Senses FailStory of the Year, and The Used. Most of these bands strenuously deny being part of the Emo spectrum, but deny as they might, it remains a useful tag to apply.

Describe a band as Emo and it means one if not all of a long list of attributes which may include: – Makeup Wearing for both sexes – Dyed Hair primarily Black or as White as possible – Prominent fringes or spikes – Favouring of black clothing and bold simple patterns like stripes and checkers – “Punk Rock” or simple barre chord influenced guitar – Preference towards extremely tender or loud screaming vocal performances, often both in the same song – Tattoeed arms and wrists – Lyrics dealing largely with emotional pain and suffering

So it seems that “Emo” is not so much a genre of music as a signpost, giving users a vague idea of what they may expect from a band. What’s more, what attributes that may be conjured up by “Emo” have been changing for nearly twenty years now. Who is to say that Emo will ever have a concrete meaning in music? Perhaps for now it’s best to think of it as an evolving, simplistic term.

We’ve all seen those infamous “MySpace pictures.” A young woman is photographed from an obscenely high angle. A background light is turned on so brightly that it’s impossible to discern any of her facial features. Her hair is perfect combed to cover her eyes and half of her face. The camera angle makes it impossible to tell her body type. Are you looking at Aphrodite or Jabba the Hut? No one can tell.

And don’t think guys are immune to this phenomenon either. Guys will take a close up of their barbed wire bicep tattoo while conveniently leaving their face out of the shot. They’ll point a camera at a fogged up mirror so that the resulting photograph is nothing more than a smoky silhouette. Or they’ll just post an old picture of Brad Pitt they found on Google Images and hope no one notices that it’s not them.

Of all the lies perpetrated on the general public, you could argue that these “MySpace pics” are the worst and most prevalent. And while putting a questionable picture on MySpace doesn’t really hurt anyone, this phenomenon becomes a major problem when these pictures are used for online dating profiles.

It’s obvious why people do this sort of thing. They want to put their best foot forward, and when you’re not a supermodel, people can judge you harshly. Instead of putting yourself out there, it’s much safer and easier to post a blurry picture, taken from a high angle with a blinding backlight. When no one can figure out what you look like, no one can criticize you.

But in truth, these pictures are hurting people much more than they realize. Why? Because you’re starting off a relationship by lying. Oh sure, everyone wants to present their best self to the opposite sex, but there’s a difference between using your favorite picture and actively creating a new image that presents a deceitful version of yourself. It’s not different than saying you’re religious when you’re actually an atheist, or saying you love dogs when deep down you’re secretly a cat person. You are a liar and a fake and that is not a great way to kick off a relationship.

Furthermore, these pictures don’t even help you. Sure, you’ll get a few extras winks or messages or dates because of a better picture, but unless you’re dating a visually impaired person, they are eventually going to see the real you. So now, you’ve set them up with an unrealistic idea of who you are. Not only are you leaving the door open for a let down, you’re practically guaranteeing it. I once heard a story about a guy who went on a date with someone from an online dating site, and when he arrived at the movie theater, he couldn’t find her, so he called her cell phone, only to discover she was standing next to him the entire time. He didn’t realize this because the girl didn’t look anything like her online picture. He was duped! This kind of behavior doesn’t pay off. Isn’t it better to set the bar low and exceed expectations? Say you go on a date with a person who expects you to be subpar looking and you end up being somewhat attractive. Jackpot, you’re in.

Try this: Next time you want a date, sign up for a dating site. And try a local dating site; say you’re from Hartford, CT, then use a Connecticut dating site instead of one of those national ones. Then put up an honest picture of yourself. You can use one of your better photos, but make it an honest one. No smoke and mirrors, no blinding backlights, no emo haircuts covering your eyes, and for god’s sake get someone else to take the picture instead of doing a 7 feet away long-arm. You might be scared at first to put your true self out there online. But what’s truly scary is the prospect of ending up bitter and alone, which is exactly what will happen if you try to deceive your potential love interests. It’s like the old saying, “if you don’t have money or a really nice car, you better get people to love you for who you really are.” Stop lying and you’ll be just fine. Good luck!

Emo hair style

Emo isn’t just a hairstyle; it is a way of life! The style was started by a group of teenager’s labeled emos, or those who loved to listen to emotional music. Emos started the style by the way they dressed. The dress was plain and the holed jeans and thick clothing was just the beginning because the style soon turned into hair. Emo hairstyles today aren’t just used or worn by fully dedicated Emos but are instead found on many individuals who just find the look stylish! The Emo hair style is mostly worn by those in their 20’s but it is found in many different age categories, and it can be worn by either gender! Here are a few facts about the Emo hair style:

* Jet black is the Emo trademark. If anything captures the Emo spirit the most it is the jet black hair that long enough to fall over the individual’s right eye. The bangs must be long enough to do this so that virtually no part of the person’s right side face is visible to anyone! * Emo styles come with choices. Just because the Emo style is trademarked with dark black hair color and over the face arrangements, an Emo can still have a few options with how they wear their hair. Among the options is whether they want it greasy or clean. Many Emos believe that greasy is the way to go because the band members of their favorite groups wear it this way; while others opts for the cleaner, more socially accepted Emo style. Whatever your choice you can be sure you’ll be within the Emo style either way! * Emo styles can be found at many stylist locations. Many professional stylists have learned the Emo style because it has been requested so much. If you’re looking to delve into the Emo hair style for the first time then it is recommended you go to a stylist who has experience with the look. A stylist can also help you decide whether highlights are right for you as well (Yes, that’s right, Emo hairstyles can come equipped with highlights!). * Thin is better for Emo style! If you’re wondering what type of hair looks best with the Emo style then thin is the winner! While you can pull the look off with thick hair, it will be much easier with thinner hair. If your hair is super thick then you may want to use a hair thinner to get your hair to the appropriate level.
