Clothes: Urban tribes - trends II

The 90s - Goths and Emos

goths Goths are usually people with a dark, negative view on life and their style shows this. Goths wear only black clothes. Most of the clothes are baggy. Both male and female goths wear makeup, normally to make their face look very pale and their eyes and lips black. Goths have many piercings all over their body. Goths usually wear accessories such as black wristbands and cross necklaces.

 

Emos are similar to goths in that they wear dark clothes. Emo comes from the word emotional. Emos normally also have a pessimistic view on life and want to be taken more seriously. Although Emos wear dark clothes many have very expressive, bright dyed hair, for example pink or green, although some do have dark hair. almost all Emos have a long fringe which covers their eyes. Emos usually have black painted nails.
