Whois & Analysis for gothicattitude.com

Emo is a rock music genre characterized by emotional, often confessional lyrics.

It emerged as a style of hardcore punk and from the Washington, D.C. hardcore scene, where it was known as emotional hardcore or emocore.

The bands Rites of Spring and Embrace, among others, pioneered the genre.

In the early-to-mid 1990s, emo was adopted and reinvented by alternative rock, indie rock, punk rock, and pop-punk bands, including Sunny Day Real Estate, Jawbreaker, Cap'n Jazz, and Jimmy Eat World.

By the Braid, the Promise Ring, and the Get Up Kids emerged from Midwest emo, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the genre.

Meanwhile, screamo, a more aggressive style of emo using screamed vocals, also emerged, pioneered by the San Diego bands Heroin and Antioch Arrow.

Screamo achieved mainstream success in the 2000s with bands like Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein, Story of the Year, Thursday, the Used, and Underoath.

Alternative fashion or alt fashion is fashion that stands apart from mainstream, commercial fashion.

It includes both styles which do not conform to the mainstream fashion of their time and the styles of specific subcultures (such as emo, goth, hip hop and punk).

Some alternative fashion styles are attention-grabbing and more artistic than practical (goth, ganguro, rivethead), while some develop from anti-fashion sentiments that focus on simplicity and utilitarianism (grunge, rocker, skinhead).

Gothic fashion is a clothing style marked by dark, mysterious, antiquated, homogeneous, and often genderless features.

It is worn by members of the goth subculture.

Typical gothic fashion includes dyed black hair, exotic hairstyles, dark lipstick and dark clothing.

Both male and female goths can wear dark eyeliner, dark nail polish and lipstick (often black) for a dramatic effect.

Male goths use cosmetics at a higher rate than other men.

Styles are often borrowed from the punk fashion (such as spiked wristbands and chokers) and can also draw influence from Victorians and Elizabethan fashion.

Goth fashion is sometimes confused with heavy metal fashion and emo fashion.

Clothing (also known as clothes, garments, dress, apparel, or attire) is any item worn on the body.

Typically, clothing is made of fabrics or textiles, but over time it has included garments made from animal skin and other thin sheets of materials and natural products found in the environment, put together.

The wearing of clothing is mostly restricted to human beings and is a feature of all human societies.

The amount and type of clothing worn depends on gender, body type, social factors, and geographic considerations.

Garments cover the body, footwear covers the feet, gloves cover the hands, while hats and headgear cover the head, and underwear covers the private parts.

Fashion is a term used interchangeably to describe the creation of clothing, footwear, accessories, cosmetics, and jewellery of different cultural aesthetics and their mix and match into outfits that depict distinctive ways of dressing (styles and trends) as signifiers of social status, self-expression, and group belonging.

As a multifaceted term, fashion describes an industry, styles, aesthetics, and trends.
