Emo and Goth Cultures

What if your hair was a canvas for self expression? Such is the case with emo boys hairstyles, which start with basic principles about individual expression. Emo is associated with being sensitive, shy, introverted, and emotionally charged. The lifestyle expresses individuality via self expressions in choices of hair cut, style, color and clothes. The culture is differentiated from other conventional and alternative styles, such as goth, punk, shoe gazers and visual artists by blending elements. The use of makeup, black fingernail polish, lip treatment and other accessories are other instruments to express mood and paint a self image.

Popular fashion styles like emo fashion have dipped into elements of Goth fashion. Goths typically wear dark or black apparel, makeup, accessories, nail polish and hair. Both emo and Goth cultures typically include hair as a means of expression. However, Goths avoid color, tight clothing, and statement T-shirts.
