Emo Fashion

Traditionally, the term "emo" when used in describing clothing meant clothes such as tight jeans and fitted T-shirts or polo shirts, sweaters, and "Buddy Holly" glasses. However, as the variety of music labelled "emo" has become larger and the genre has gained more mainstream popularity, there are now several distinct strands of emo fashion. Most forms of emo fashion originate from fans emulating the styles of members of their favourite groups. These styles themselves are usually derived from pre-existing fashions of the New Wave, punk, metal, indie, grunge, Goth and hardcore genres and sub-cultures.
