So during the past few years, one particular force has been growing more rapidly than any virus known to man. A new breed of striped socks-wearing people has emerged faster than you can say EMO!
Ever since twisted sister, poison and all the other glam rock bands started wearing makeup and having big Farrah Fawcett feathered hair, the world started slooooowly accepting that men also can wear makeup and it was all fine and dandy..Since, come on, there's no way in hell (unless you're Steevy Wonder) that you would have mistaken Dee Snider for a woman. Well, since then something really fucked up happened, someone, somewhere wondered what it would be like to just have 1 gender in the world and came up with this idea to confuse the fuck out of everyone whether these emo kids are male or female.
I honestly cannot tell if that's male or female. Can you ? If that was a tranny, then there's no real surprise there but some (I hope) are actually straight, yet they wear more makeup than women. And not the cool corpse paint kind of makeup, it's the Queer eye for a straight guy kind!
Then there's the music, which all fits so perfectly into this messed up style. Bands that can play two powercords and sing about how their dad took them to see a marching band are becoming famous with the help of these 13-16 year old kids that follow trends in school so they're with the popular bunch.
What's sad is that emos didn't come up with their own ORIGINAL style, they just borrowed bits and pieces from other styles and kinda mashed it all into one big fucking failure. Does their long, side-parted fringes, give them a feeling of shelter? Do they think that their heavy black eye-liner will make us fear them? Are their striped socks a sign of a pipi-longstocking rebirth in progress? These attributes all make part of this fashion butchery.
