Emo hairstyles are one expression of youth culture that has seen an upsurge in popularity. The flamboyant styles are fashionable and creative and each individual look has something different to communicate to the world. The new emo expression does in fact have it's roots in a bygone age of popular music. During the 1980's, the musical revolution of punk rock gave birth to the emotional or emotive hardcore musical sound.
Emo is the modern day short form of 'emotional' and thus emo hairstyles refer to the punk movement of the past but with very contemporary cultural expressions combined. Some might like to call any hairstyle that looks loud and unconventional as emo but those who consider themselves as emo purists, have very clear ideas about what actually qualifies as a true emo hairstyle.

Emo boys and girls are especially fond of extremely dark or extremely light coloured hair. Black is perhaps the most popular although white is very common too. The basic colour is usually contrasted with luminous highlights of a single or multitude of other colours. Highlights can be thin streaks or large sections of opposing coloured hair. Some emo hairstyles omit highlights and rely on a single shocking colour to create the emo look.
