How to get emo hair

How to Get Emo Hair

The emo subculture is very cool, it's only natural that you're trying to get the look. Everyone knows a true emo's strength and status is in their hair. This article will give you the basics and norms of emo hair.
[edit] Steps
1.Grow your hair out; the front and side parts so they cover a good portion of your face. Some people grow out the back, while some don't. If it's short in the back, you can spike it up with gel.
2.Layer your hair. Get long layers about half way down your hair, and short the rest of the way up. (If you're a guy don't worry about layering your hair, unless you want to)
3.Straighten your hair, with either an iron or gel. If your hair is wavy, just use hairspray/gel to weigh it down.
4.Dye your hair black, if you're going to dye it at all. Although, dying your hair a whole bunch of wacky bright colors is considered very cool, black is the standard.
5.Flip your hair upside down and blow-dry it. It doesn't matter if it is dry already, the heat just accentuates the layers in your hair.
6.Accessorize your hair, once you're happy with the color and style. Bows are always your best choice, along with other funky hair clips.

[edit] Tips
Try not putting your hair up, as poker straight hair is best worn loose.
If you're getting a hair dye from a barbershop or hair salon, make sure its permanent. No $6 hair dyes...
If you're doing the coloring yourself, use drugstore dye; make sure that it is permanent if you've got lighter hair. You will get called a poser if your hair starts to turn blond within a day.
Put random clips in your hair, especially barrettes. Even if you're a guy, none of the other emos will laugh at you.
Straighten your hair, though some emos can have curly hair even if it looks weird. If you have curly hair, straighten just the front.
Straighten your hair in small sections, especially if you have thick hair. Don't sweep the straightener through your hair. Slowly straightening your hair actually locks in some of the moisture.
Hot Topic and Claire's have some of the cheapest hair accessories, but if you're in a pinch, your local dollar store can offer you some very nice things. Check on eBay as well. Just type "emo hair" for the search.

[edit] Warnings
Stay away from the emo stereotype if it doesn't suit you.
Don't overdo the hair clips and barrettes.
Try not to color your hair with kool-aid.
Do what you want to do with your hair, not what anyone else tells you.
Never cut yourself. This is a terrible thing to do, and it has no place in the emo subculture; seek help immediately!

HOW TO DRESS HARAJUKU STYLE

How to Dress Harajuku Style

Harajuku style originated among teens on the streets of the Harajuku Shopping District in Tokyo. It may have been brought to many people's attention by American singer Gwen Stefani, but the evolution of the style certainly didn't begin with her and it certainly won't end with her. Like many "street fashions" it is difficult to characterize, both because it is constantly changing and because it has many manifestations. There is no cookie-cutter approach to the style, but if you want to dress in Harajuku style, here are some guidelines to get you started.
[edit] Steps
1.
Shopping in an eclectic Harajuku boutique
Mix and (mis)match different fashions. What is now known as Harajuku style started as teens in the district began to integrate traditional Japanese attire, especially kimonos and geta sandals, into their dress. Before, they wore primarily clothes that were influenced by the West, but by mixing the traditional with the modern, they created a new style. Other examples of mixing and matching including the punk look with the schoolgirl uniform or a goth look with designer clothes. In Harajuku, mixing different styles and mismatching colors and patterns is encouraged--you can do anything you want, as long as your outfit is a thoughtful expression of your individuality (see Tips).
2.Become familiar with variations of style in the Harajuku district. It's impossible to pinpoint one "Harajuku style." Many styles have originated or developed on the streets of Harajuku, and many Harajuku girls (and boys) integrate one or more of these somewhat more defined styles into their outfits.


o

Gothic Lolita involves wearing gothic, feminine and elegant clothes, to the extent that you look like a living Victorian doll.
o

Japanese punks, inspired by the punk movement that began in London in the 70s, magnify rebelliousness with over-the-top clothes, accessories, makeup, and piercings.
o

Cosplay entails dressing up like your favorite cartoon/anime or computer game character.
o

Decora style favors bright colors, flamboyance and accessories from head to toe. You decorate yourself with plastic toys and jewelry, and it's not uncommon to have so many that you can hear them click together when the person moves.
o

Kawaii (literally translating from Japanese to "cute") places an emphasis on childlike playfulness--anime characters, ruffles, pastel colors, toys, and so on.
oWamono refers to mixing traditional Japanese attire with Western fashion.
3.Dress in layers. One of the hallmarks of Harajuku is layering. Sweaters, vests, or jackets over blouses over t-shirts, dresses worn with leggings, and so on. Layering clothes (or giving the appearance of layering by wearing ruffled dresses, for example) allows you to mix and match a wider variety of different styles, and adds more dimension to your outfit.
4.Customize your clothes. Secondhand clothing and do-it-yourself styles are popular ingredients in a Harajuku outfit. Like that flowered skirt but think it would look cuter with a ribbon pinned on it or with a more uneven, angular hemline? Get out the scissors and glue and make your store-bought clothes uniquely yours. Or, go even further and make your own skirt. Cutting the fabric to create bold angles and lines can make even a plain black dress appear remarkable and fun.
5.

Accessorize. Add any wild accessories you have, such as belts, earrings, hair clips, jewelry, and handbags. Remember, accessories can be colorful and loud, and they don't have to match your clothes. Speaking of loud, in decora, a particular Harajuku style, accessories embellish an outfit from head to toe, and objects such as bells are sometimes used to add an aural dimension to the wardrobe.
6.

Go wild with your hair and makeup. The Harajuku style doesn't have to stop with your clothes. Pigtails and other "cute" hairstyles are particularly popular, as is dying your hair. Creative, even theatrical makeup can be a fun addition.
7.Wear whatever looks good to you. It's been said that the Harajuku style is not really a protest against mainstream fashion and commercialism (as punk was), but rather a way of dressing in whatever looks good to you. If you think mismatched rainbow and polka-dot leggings look good with a plaid dress, go for it!
8.

Smile and say chiizu! If you dress Harajuku style outside of Harajuku, you'll likely draw attention from people unfamiliar with your international fashion sense. If the attention isn't positive, just smile graciously and keep going about your business. But if people ask questions or want to take pictures, strike a pose! The people in Harajuku are proud of their style, so you should be, too.

[edit] Tips
Many people mistakenly think that dressing Harajuku style is about just "throwing things together." While the assembly of different styles and patterns might seem haphazard, it's important to put a lot of thought into your style. If you study how people dress in the Harajuku shopping district, you'll see that the intricate outfits are carefully chosen to convey a certain image that a random and thoughtless combination never could.
Harajuku style changes very quickly. Keep up with the evolution of the style by reading publications like FRUiTS and Style-Arena.jp (see Sources and Citations below). These publications and others like them offer a wealth of pictures of Harajuku outfits and are updated weekly or monthly. If you want to dress in Harajuku style, looking at pictures is a good way to get inspired.
"Harajuku style" is also known as "FRUiTS fashion" to those who follow the magazine, but neither of these terms are commonly used by the Japanese who epitomize style when describing themselves.
Contrary to popular belief, Harajuku style is not just for the girls. While some variations of the style lend themselves more to females than to males (e.g. Gothic Lolita), many of the hallmarks of the style are gender-neutral. After all, it's about dressing in what looks good to you--why should girls have all the fun?

[edit] Warnings
Don't get carried away with brand loyalty. While it's OK to favor certain designer labels (especially since brand loyalty is big in Japan), Harajuku is about creating your own look, so if you appear just like the mannequins in the mall or the pictures in the catalog, you may be stylish, but you're not Harajuku. Don't be afraid to mix that Calvin Klein dress with a used, torn and tattered pair of jeans and some combat boots.

hOW TO BE A PREPPY SCENE KID

From: foblover3petey

Subject: How to Be a Preppy Scene Kid

How to Be a Preppy Scene Kid
All you need to do is go into Starbucks or into the city and see the many kids wearing all the right scene clothes and accessories. The bows, beads, skinny jeans, plaid shirts, flats and the hair in the face. They look like wannabes who still think 'Scene' is a 'Happy Emo'. Anyone could do this, yet there is always something not right with the way these people do it. They don't look scene. To be the genuine, hot scene kid, it's best to be the preppy type.
[edit] Steps
1.Let's begin with the style. On the upper half, a typical scene kid wears a tight fitted band tee or plaid shirt, leopard print is also extremely popular among the preppy scene kids. A grey, patterned or black hoodie to cover, or a cute girly cardigan. Beads in vibrant colours, layered on. Originality is great, as an unsuspecting person may think that this is scene, and you may even start a trend. Preppy scene girls don't wear bandannas. Wear scarves.
2.Get the right hair. This is the most identifiable scene indicator. Hairstyles usually consist of white blonde or jet black colors, choppy layers, short or very long in length. Extensions are part of the scene. Colors can be added to make your hair look 'Radd,' contrasts preferable (e.g. blonde with black). The style is to volumize like you got dragged through a bush backwards. That's why short layers are handy. The layers give your hair that oomph'. Accessorize your hair with big or little bow clips, hair bands and any cute little girl accessories you can find without having to put your hair in a ponytail.
3.Wear the right clothes. Go for Skinny jeans, leggings or footless tights with frayed denim skirts. Camo shorts are more tomboyish. Leave it to the less stylish. The tights are great in a bold color or pattern. Again, don't be afraid to wear leopard print! The style of shoes are either Vans, Converse or flats. Preppy scene kids love to wear flats. Patent adds to the dolly, child-like effect, and in a bold colour, this effect is even better. You get extra points for bows or polka dots.
4.Listen to the scene music. Any underground HxC (hardcore) metal or screamo is essential. You are allowed to like rap and pop. You won't get slagged off by other scene kids. Alternative music that really doesn't have a label is also a plus. Add a song (make sure its actually good) that no one has really heard of to your Myspace page. Don't even bother being a scene kid unless you have a myspace page.
5.Wear minimal makeup. Eyeliner is essential. Wear powder to give you that childlike porcelain effect. Keep it pale girls, not orange. Blush is allowed. Keep the rosy cheeks to a minimum. Wear vibrant eyeshadows and unusual make up for shows or shopping. Scenesters tend not to wear it in school. Thick eyelashes are a must. Eyelash curlers may be needed if mascara isn't giving you enough volume. Sometimes preppy scene girls draw hearts at the outer corner of their eye using eyeliner. If you decide to get facial piercings, go for lip rings, snake bites, Monroes and nose rings. If you're not allowed, its ok. Preppy scenes are girly and more eclectic anyways. Don't get a fake ring for your lip because fake rings make you appear as a wannabe, and no one wants that.

[edit] Tips
Childish things make you look even more scene. Hello Kitty clasps, collections of cute, childish things like Pokemon and Batman are all great choices. Cuddly toys add to your Scene-ness in the home.
Volume means a lot of hairspray and back-combing, but be careful that you don't create frizzy hair.
Check out vintage clothing. If you don't have a nearby thrift store, Urban Outfitters is a major haven for that individual style.
Keep a camera with you at all times. Photos are scene, particularly self-taken ones in mirrors and from angles.

[edit] Warnings
Start being scene around 12, but start slowly. It'd be wierd looking at a tweleve year old girl with big hair and streaks. You could buy the clothes, if they fit you. If they dont, stay who you are; you'll look like a walking mountain of clothes.
Straighten that hair. Waves are a no-no. Maintaining and creating a style that's straight with volume is difficult, but once you learn it you will earn scene respect.
Don't shop in well-known stores. Other people will think you're a wannabe. If you do, make sure its a vintage inspired store like Topshop.
Don't do all this "rawr, I'm a dino" stuff or the robots. They are finito, and I have witnessed total losers with it in their names thinking they're scene even though its no longer in style.
Remember, preppy is style and appearance-inspired. Never falter, or your reputation as a scene kid will suffer.
Don't try too hard to be scene. Make the change gradually so that if you get your look wrong one day, its less noticeable. That is why individuality counts.

How to be emo

How to Be Emo



The emo subculture is associated with emo music but also extends into appearance, behavior, and perspectives on life. If you want to get in touch with your inner emo, here's how.
[edit] Steps
1.Understand what emo is. Like any style, fashion or culture, the exact definition is up for debate and often varies according to personal expression. The term emo is loosely associated with emotionally charged punk rock, however it originally meant emotional hardcore - modern 'emo' music is more of a branch off from what it started out as. Most emos like underground or indie music. Emo has branched out from punk/indie.
2.Support the music. Emo is a rock music genre, usually consisting of emotional lyrics and (optional) "screamo." Over the years, this music genre was usually seen as underground until recent times, making emo music more popular than ever. This music sometimes consists of lyrics seen by many as "whiny," and "sensitive", which is not true in all instances. Remember that MTV does not portray the "correct" or "true" emo.
oConsider taking up an instrument such as the bass, guitar, drums or even the violin. If you invest enough time into it, the violin can sound incredibly emo.
oTry writing poetry and turning it into songs.
3.Test yourself. Try listening to emo music. If you end up liking this type of music, youre probably a "true" emo. Getting inner emo is all a matter of finding out if you have it or not.
4.

Dress the part. After you have discovered your inner emo, try shopping for a new wardrobe. Emo fashion has roots in punk, goth, and scene. Wear pencil tight jeans, tight shirts with emo band logos on them, studded belts, and an old, black and worn down pair of chuck taylor converse or vans. Thick, black-rimmed glasses are not uncommon for emo guys. Also, stripes and checkers are big in the emo culture. It is emo to wear dark colors with a bit of neon mixed in, but no emos will tease you for wearing colors.
5.

Change your hair. Dye it black with perhaps some blond or unnatural colored streaks, especially in the bangs. If you are a girl, you may possibly want to cut your hair to a very short bob-like hairstyle but keep your bangs long, swept drastically to one side and covering your eye. Or, for those who like Long hair, get many choppy layers and highlights. For a guy, you may want to spike up the back side, and pat down on the front side. You could also get your bangs/fringe dyed a lighter color than the rest of your hair.
6.Get the attitude. A lot of times, emo is associated with being bitter, depressed, insecure and resentful. But at its core, you can be emo because you're sensitive, introspective, thoughtful, and quiet.
7.Learn to love yourself and others. The truth is, you and everyone else are all people deep down, and even though we all want to be noticed for our individualities, It's essential not to segregrate yourself. Even though you may look different, treat everyone else as your equal, and don't stick to only having emo friends if you don't want to. Just do what makes you happy socially. #*Kindness is a basic expectation for social skills, and even if you decide to go along with this guide on the way to being emo, don't ever think that people outside of this culture don't understand you. Without the look, you may very well be the same as them. The popular cheerleader and/or jock at your school may have similar everyday problems as you. Loving yourself is also very important.
8.Also make sure you know the difference between emo and goth, they are both totally different. Goths don't act depressed, and attempt to get attention. Goths tend to act different because they don't want to act like everyone else, and try to be original, and not try to follow others.

[edit] Tips
Don't talk about cutting yourself with other people
Don't whine 24/7.

How to be a scene kid

Subject: How to Be a Scene Kid

How to Be a Scene Kid
While a contemporary term for hipster or bohemian and other insiders of art related movements, scene kids are also associated with listening to screamo, techno, punk rock, indie rock, and hip hop, or other forms of unconventional music. If you want to be a scene kid, here are some suggestions to help you along your way.
Steps
1.Go to shows. After all, that's where the scene is, and that's why they're called scene kids. Live for shows. Keep up with the up and coming bands by doing your research! Be friends with all the local bands, and brag about it. It's very, very important to know your music history (i.e. Norma Jean)! If you're not able to carry on a deep conversation about lyrics, style, and/or band mates, you will be rejected. When not at a show, listen to your music all the time.
2.Get the attitude. Think that you are absolutely, without a doubt, the most gorgeous person on the face of the planet. This is something you will have to work extra hard on if you have low self-confidence. Practice this around other friends; compliment yourself often. When you do encounter your first scene friend, be sure to appear overly confident in everything you do. Compliment others sparingly, but thoughtfully. Remember, people care about people who care about themselves.
3.Become active on MySpace. Post a plethora of pictures of yourself and shows you've been to. Add as many friends as you can, including random scene kids, and check out what they are listening to. Download every song ever by that band and research the band's bio. Other sites like Purevolume and LiveJournal have an abundance of hardcore kids as well.
4.Get scene hair. You can also have different colors in your hair, but it's not a must. The weirder it is, the more scene. Think 80's metal hair trimmed up with all the sophistication of today. It doesn't matter if you're a boy and your hair is longer; it doesn't matter if you're a girl with shorter hair; what matters is your ability to pull it off with confidence. Also, you can't go wrong with getting it stacked or layered. The idea is to look androgynous with your hair. Spike it up in the back and straighten the sides. You can also straighten the bottom and mess up the top layers of your hair. Or you can grow out your bangs and have them over your eyes.
5.Wear eyeliner, whether you're male or female (NOT emo eyepaint). If you know how to apply eyeliner, do it yourself, but if you are a novice girl or guy, let someone that knows how to apply makeup do it for you. Males have a tendency to put a "little" too much makeup on their faces, while girls can wear as much or as little as they please.
6.Wear tight, skinny, pencil jeans or straight leg jeans (NOT flares, bootcuts, or baggy jeans). While the tighter the better, find a decent fit for you because no one will talk to you if you look like a fashion victim. Girls are recommended to have tight form fitting jeans in a vintage or dark wash. Girls can also wear jean skirts or black stretch skirts, as long as a decent pair of leggings are worn beneath (remember, you can never go wrong with a pair of solid black leggings). Guys should find a decent fitting pair of girl jeans or somewhat of a fitted straight leg jeans as well. The tighter the better, but remember that the rest of us do not want to be able to see the vein in your thigh through your jeans! And don't forget the belt (preferably black pyramid belts; white for females), usually worn with the buckle to the side.
7.Stock up on band shirts or graphic t-shirts. Band shirts are uni-sex. If you've done your music research, load up on classic band t-shirts (i.e. The Ramones). Get the tightest fitting t-shirt, within reason. Look for shirts that have the vintage feel. If you can actually find a vintage shirt, more scene points. Anything with dinosaurs on it is automatically accepted. Shirts with foil prints on them are also in, as are shirts with any of the following on them: gun, butterfly, bird, skull, lightning bolt, Hello Kitty, etc.
8.Get classic shoes. Shoes can make you or break you. This is part of the standard uniform. Start with Vans Classics, then branch out to any style of Vans you want (old school Adidas, Nikes, or Converse too). Beat up your shoes--the more beat up and dirtier they are the better. For girls, ballet flats and other formal low heeled shoes, also boots of any kind are accepted.
9.Accessorize. If you're a girl, invest in necklaces that have guns, hearts, keys, butterflies, skulls, etc. Big wooden necklaces are a good alternative. Do not wear gloves or arm bands of any type. The only ones that are acceptable are the fingerless wrist warmers with either the skull on the back or lace trim. Oversized sunglasses with thick black or white frames are acceptable, and cat-eye frames are another good choice. Hats can be worn with caution, though you're better off without, as it is important to show off one's glory, the hair. Girls should wear plenty of bright-colored hair barrettes, clips, ribbons, and bows. If you're a guy, keep your keys dangling on the side with a carabiner attached to a belt loop. Every scene kid should own at least one bandana (Often black, red and white, and some neon colored ones). Either fold it into a flag to hang out of your back pocket, in a band around the head, or down around your neck. Guys can wear hats if they don't do much hair styling.
10.Take up the scene writing style. Add extra letters to many of your words. For example: "rawwr" "kiiid" "baaby" Spelling your name in odd ways is popular as well. So is giving yourself a second name in addition to your first. For example: "Debby Nasty," "Ashley Vogue," "Joseph Rotten," "Michael Couture," etc. Also, write very short sentences, and add period at the end of almost anything. Tell people to "not comment" your myspace pictures. Underline, bold, strikeout, and italicize random words in your writing. Use old slang like "rad" or "stellar" and occasional use of "bro."

Tips
Never, under any circumstances, admit you are scene. That would make you a poseur, and no one wants to be seen with a poseur.
It's a lot easier to be accepted by a scene crew if you gradually ease into the lifestyle.
When listening to music act like you've known that band since forever. Even if you haven't, scene kids tend to do that.

Warnings
Whining and complaining will quickly get you labeled as a poseur or worse, emo.
Becoming scene overnight will make you seem fake. Make sure you know all about being scene before you make any drastic changes to your appearance or personality.
