Emo Girls- Not Eccentric these are Cool Chicks The words Emo was and is still today have been associated with a style of rock music that exhibits a multidimensional style of music with common stylistic roots. However the term soon became a subject of controversy as in the 1980s, the term being described as a sub-genre hardcore punk that owes its origin at Washington D.C. The term Emo soon began to mean different to different people rather than a specific genre of music. With time the word Emo is getting associated with a particular trend of fashion and style. The Emo girls reflect its present meaning of trend-setting fashion. The Emo girls are dressed with tight jeans, short sleeves T-shirts with the long fringe either brushed to one side of the face or over one or both eyes. The hair color of an Emo

girl is dyed black. The hair of the Emo girls is generally longer than that of the Emo boys, but never beyond the shoulder length. The T-shirts of the Emo girls reflect the name of the particular rock band they are interested in. They wear some junk accessories. Often studded belts adorn their waistline.

The shoes of the Emo girls might be canvas sneakers or skate shoes or even old, worn out black shoes. They simply want to give a rusty, non-conformity look. The Emo girls dress in such a way that they want to represent their growing up in their own styles. They tend to imitate the rock bands, as they love to be associated with music. They follow their heart and are extremely spontaneous by nature. Emo girls are overly sensitive and intend to break all social norms and set practices. They do not respond to any works that are imposed upon by force. They generally listen to the call of their inner self and love to lead a life of independence and enjoy freedom in their unique style. In recent

days the Emo girls are often referred to some who are sad or who suffer from depression. Even sensitive, shy, introvert or extreme Emotional girls are often called as Emo girls too. However, with time the term is also being used to refer to the homosexual slurs. This is largely the reflection of the style or the dress that the Emo girls put on and the behavior that they exhibit. As the adage goes “We wear our attitudes” holds true in describing the word Emo with the present styles and dress of the Emo girls. The Emo girls behave in non-conforming manners because they feel that they are misunderstood and would like to do things with little or no regard to the society and reality at large. At times because of their dressing style it becomes difficult to distinguish a Emo girl from a Emo boy. The Emo girls are generally not been seen as smiling. Again, being Emo constitutes committing self-harm or positively writing poetries. They can also be referred as being depressed and bisexual too. However, Emo girls tend to live a life in their own style and fashion, ignoring the standard norms and customs.
