On the other hand, there are plenty of sources from late 80s and early 90s that demonstrate usage of the term "emotional hardcore" and "emotional" as it relates to "emo". Please do not alter this definition without providing a primary source. |

There are two popular forms of dress associated with emo. The first is essentially what came out of the 90s "indie emo" scene, and has connections to ] and ]. It includes more vintage and ] clothing, typically for a well-worn look. Some of the clothing leans toward khaki colors. T-shirts are typically of smaller sizes and with random prints, often images from the 1980s. Book bags with pins and patches of various bands like ex: ], ], ] and more. Along with the bands they may also have various characters like ] and ]. |

The other popular style of dress focuses on darker colors. Commonly seen elements include dark colored hair (often dyed either black or an unnatural dark hue), males wearing pants tailored for females, ], ], and ] piercings, and dark make-up on males and females (most notably black eyeliner, although red eyeshadow is becoming increasingly popular). A common accessory for both males and females are glasses with a dark coloured (usually black), thick rim. |

Though the original emo scenes were not exclusionary, the modern "emo" scene has developed into a "gay friendly" scene. Though it's unclear whether it's related to the diminished "macho" elements of emo music or the "gay friendly" nature of the scene, it has become commonplace for detractors to use "emo" in combination with popular discriminating gay slurs, such as "emo fag". |

While "emo" is often used to describe the dress and attitudes of fans of ], it should be noted that "emo" as a musical genre and "emo" as a slang term are largely separate. "Emo" as a musical genre long pre-dated the use of "emo" as a slang term. At the same time, most current bands labeled "emo" are done so unwillingly, and largely because they share some of the fashion trends and attitude associated with "emo" as a slang term. |

|
|
There is also a common stereotype that associates "emo" with ], most notably wrist slashing, mainly due to the song lyrics of popular bands conforming to the image of emo in the public eye, which often speak of suicide. |
