About Emo
Emos are similar to punks in
that they are not apologetic about dressing differently. One aspect
of Emo culture Sohos loves is the friendships between them and the way
they appreciate one other. Whilst some peer groups condemn someone for
daring to change or look different, Emo friends appreciate each other's
efforts to look wicked. Emo can be casual but bright; with contrasting
colours and prints like a Nu-Punk Contrast, or can be darker, smarter
and more sophisticated but with an elaborate edge.
The people
involved in it didn't wake up one morning and think 'I want to be an
Emo'. Emo isn't any particular fashion trend; it can be everything and
nothing - its an attitude. Sohos has tried to capture the Emo feeling in
this section. Sohos respects Emos for having the confidence to be unique
and take pride in looking remarkable whilst others are content to fade
into the background as they are afraid to take the risks to stand out in
the way that Emos do.
Taking risks isn't without its risks
though, obviously, Emos are marked as targets of abuse for being
different. Some people have to stereo-type things to understand them,
others want to bring it down to its base level and others want to
destroy what is different. That's human nature. Please visit
