EMO
|
Take all of your name brand
clothes from the 90's and put them in the attic. This
is an important step. Next, take all your bright colors
EXCEPT hunter orange and put them with the name brands.
To be an Emo-Kid, you've got to stick to earth tones.
Now that the basics are out of the way, into more
detail.
There are 2 acceptable types of shirts.
There's the 70's cut, button down collared shirt and
the witticim T-shirt. Both should be tight and
well-worn.
The t-shirt should have something vague on
it, like the name of an unknown high school track team,
or some sort of esoteric symbol, or maybe an Indie brand
name. The only exception to the brand-name rule is Star
Wars. Anything with Star Wars on it, preferably
original 70's goods, is a bonus.
The same rules apply
to jackets. No big puffy jackets or anything that looks
expensive. The cardigan and jean jacket are definite
favorites, but the old obscure sports sweatshirt or
hunter orange vest are acceptable.
Slacks are
preferable, for both sexes. Nothing baggy or flashy.
Shorts are okay, but only with knee-high athletic socks
with colored stripes around the top. Shoes are
something along the same lines. Simple, canvas shoes.
Converse, Airwalk and Vans are the usual, but the best
would be some completely unheard of brand bought 3rd or
5th hand from Goodwill. Fine, you've got yourself lookin'
Emo, but there's a few more touches. The lunchbox is
always a good addition. Something with the Muppets or
maybe the Wizard of Oz (or, of course, Star Wars) is
good, but only if it's the old school tin kind, not
plastic. Oh yeah, and you have to have a bag. This is
important. You can't be Emo if you don't have a bag.
This is a important. You can't be Emo if you don't have
a bag. The courier bags (a.k.a. shoulder bag,
Man-purse, etc.) is the norm, but a beat up Jansport is
just as common. You've got to have to bag to carry all
of your intellectual literature and records. |
