At what point does terribly unkept hair magically become "emo" hair?
I will admit that this "style" (quotations because I hardly consider this style) is popular among what many ridiculous individuals would call emo kids, but why does hair flowing in a certain direction need its own term?
I think, too, that what most people consider emo hair here is ridiculous. Just because slightly long hair may grow over the eyes does not transform the bearer into a term which was supposed to only classify a certain music of the early to mid-90s. If you look at most male fashion shows, you will see hair which people here classify as emo. Slightly long, possibly somewhat messy, hair does not equate to emo.
