they both started gaining traction in the 80s, but emo was waaayyy different then. it was basically emotional punk (as opposed to political), then transformed into a kind of nerdy-cute ("grandpa's sweater vests") sappy/angsty music style, then suddenly bred with scene and goth to give birth to the emo we know today.

if it seemed to come out of nowhere, you were just not watching carefully.

mid-2000s emos and goths were millenials though, it's a 20-year generation.

Gen Xers made goth what it is in the 90s, older millenials made emo what it is in the 00s, and newer millenials don't care about subcultures.

>>10798690
angst is ironic rather than sincere among kids now, so pastel goth/soft grunge lets them express it a bit without deviating too far from the norm.

social media brings a lot of pressure to conform, highschool subcultures are dead.

>>10798748

Hot Topic now is more about pop culture and Comic-Con shit than anything alternative, pic related. (a somewhat recent comparison of old versus new Hot Topic.)

how pale are you naturally? if you are already pale, i have had success using a light liquid foundation from a drugstore brand, then apply Manic Panic vampire white powder oved it with a kabuki brush. you then need to contour a bit to bring back facial definition, i use grey/brown eyeshadow to bring my cheekbones, nose, and jaw back. white flattens you so it is important to put shadows back on your face.

this does not give me a cakey-white clown look, just a very pale look. gotta blend up your ears/down your neck also.

lol I remember it took me 3 long explenations from 3 different emo kids i had on friends list in myspace, for me to understand what emo was.

They never cared about actually explaining it with their own words, they just linked me to their favorite music bands and their music.
>>
>>10798136

I remember this style from late 90s movies and TV, but I don't think I ever saw it irl. Then again I grew up in a small midwestern town and was probably 5-10 years too young to get first hand experience in college. Had no idea this had any connection to the emo I remember though.
>>
>>10800056
the look became kinda mainstream, and hipsters grabbed a lot of the aesthetic as well. that pic is from about 2003 (misattributed to 1999 sometimes) issue of a mainstream magazine, about the time emo was changing and becoming popular, with its defining look changing pretty rapidly iirc.

well im white but my face has a bit of a redish tone on it so not so pale. It sounds like you really know your stuff but unfortunately I have no idea what most of these things your saying mean! how did you learn to do your make up? Ive tried myself and wasted alot of money!! and yeah I got the cakey/mime look. Is it all about the kabuki brush because I dont have one of them.
Got any video tutorials you can recommend please?

>my face has a bit of a redish tone on it so not so pale.
try ELF's green primer. it looks weird in the bottle but goes on clear, the green tint helps cancel redness. it is also cheap as fuck but decent quality, like most ELF products.

>how did you learn to do your make up?
/cgl/ desu. i read the makeup, goth, and shironuri threads. jfash aesthetics are different from effay aesthetics but makeup basics are the same, and basic techniques are not any different for men than for women. (if you seek help there and are male, do not announce your gender, they are salty about male newfags.)

>Is it all about the kabuki brush because I dont have one of them.
for me, it is about good skincare (for a smooth, healthy base), primer, liquid foundation, and then using the big kabuki brush to pat the powder in (pat it, not brush it). i also use a sealer spray (ELF mineral spray) after foundation and before and after powder so it stays in place.

i do not know of any good youtube tutorials at this tim, have http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1hRdbZOtrWU bookmarked but did not watch it yet.

so that turned out to be for eye makeup.

for the white look, i did not like his white skin video that much, but he has a good male goth contouring video: https://youtu.be/i36p07NNUrg

i use pic related over a light foundation for a pale effect, but the best tips for pale skin are really about skincare. avoid sun damage, exfoliate once a week, and moisturize a bit before applying sunscreen. a lot of my own cakiness was caused by dry skin, and getting good at skincare gave me a smoother canvas to work with.

i am staying away from liquid whites like Ben Nye or Mehron until i get good enough at what i do to go more dramatic.

Goth and emo was the worst shit holy fuck

There would always be some emotional faggot kid who would complain we called him emo or some shit like that back in elementary school.

the social media age encourages sameyness for popularity points (likes, notes, upvotes). people-pleasing becomes more important than self-expression when it feels like the world is watching.

i think alternative fashion has the power to protest this mindset, but even in alternative scenes (and even on /fa/ which is fucking anonymous), everyone wants to meet everyone else's standards.

i am hoping this changes.

this was top-tier NiN imo, it went downhill after The Fragile.

that said, the tour for Hesitation Marks was fucking magical. the album is meh but the show blew my mind. the guy who did art production for TDS also did HM, and the art design of the live show was insane.

i would wear Russell Mills-core if i could.
