An Expression of Creative Youth Culture Any bold color such as white that forms the background of the style can be classified as an emo hairstyle. Not all emo styles are based on deep dark colors. The dark colors are usually offset by stark and vibrant highlights in colors such as orange, red or pink.
Emo styles are often characterized by deep dark colors, especially black. Others are shorter and are sometimes cut into precise shapes. Some fringes are grown quite long, covering the eyes or may be swept to one side. For example, most emo hairstyles have fringes or bangs.
There are however a few characteristics that typical emo styles have in common. Emo hairstyles are extremely varied and may look very different from one wearer to the other. All hairstyles that display bold individualism might be described as emo hairstyles although some people today try to impose very rigid standards as to what emo styles actually are. Emo is an abbreviation of the word 'emotional' which in turn is an off shoot of the 1980's punk movement or of 'emotive hardcore' punk music.
