So i got an idea for an eventual Dash/Danny mechanic AU

I think I'm going to create a master post when I have more of it fleshed out. This part is more for context, so not too much happened. Takes place senior year though

there's not going to be any sort of update schedule, but I have at least 5 bullet points I want to cover

EDIT: Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 4.5 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9A Part 9B Part 10

Hey if you ever thought “where tf did emos come from???” then here you go. I decided to do some research on this useless information rather than do homework!

I’m sorry this is so long for some reason the “read more” thing won’t work.

2000’s

Although emo is commonly mistaken for goth today, it didn’t originally come from goth. Emo was originally described as “geek chic” and was popular among the nerdy crowd. Bright v-neck sweaters, white dress shirts, fitted jeans, and horn-rimmed glasses were worn for the emo look. For those going for a slightly edgier look; hair was dyed black, tight t shirts, and darker make up (for girls, boys didn’t wear makeup quite yet) were worn.

As you can see from the magazine cover above, the 2000’s emo actually looks more like 2010’s hipsters, which I kind of find hilarious.

2005

During the mid-2000’s emo started becoming mainstream, and that’s when it started becoming more of a dark alternative look.

Emo fashion now included skinny jeans, tight band t shirts, studded belts, fingerless gloves (sometimes with bright colours),converse & vans, and black wrist bands. The rim-horned glasses remained in style and some still wore v-neck sweaters, but they were no longer in bright colours. Emo hair was still dyed black, but now came with large bangs that swooped down and covered half or more of the face.

2010

Around 2008, 2009, and 2010 emo fashion became a lot more exaggerated. Makeup became darker and thicker, hair became larger with different colours added, and suddenly everyone became obsessed with checkers and stripes.

Because it had been popular for a couple of years already, people started getting a lot more creative. Converse shoes that went up to your knees, hair you thought only anime could achieve, plus some of the original geeky things were coming back (like ties and fedoras).

2015

Around 2015, emo fashion started looking more clean and less all over the place.

Hair being dyed one or more unsual colours, makeup was less messy and based more on mainstream trends (winged eyeliner, thick arvhed eyebrows, etc.), and by then emo kind of branched off it’s own unofficial sub genres.

in decent quality too!

Frustration divided by a Nation is the equation

Assimilation Assimilating only to be alienated in an alien nation

Where caucasians cause abrasions on blacks.

Then offer reconciliation To asians for one atom bomb

in vietnam

As the words ‘I is’ and ‘aunts’ no longer taint your harvard tongue. That once sang old negro spirituals, enslaved rhetoric

to protect project and connect shackles hands reaching north only to bring forth a generation of assimilating sistas. believing they’re not black but their brown

Harriet Tubman should’ve shot your sorry butt down

been replaying sonic adventure 2 battle so here’s some animal people

Happy Halloween from Team Dark!
