Typical Conventions/Band Image





Fall out boys music, image and persona has changed over the past 8 years, the typical emo convention has been fluent throughout.
For example in one of the bands first music videos 'a little less sixteen candles a little
more touch me' the band wear dark colored tight clothes,this is a typical convention
of emo bands and has almost became a calling card for the band.
The band also experiment with unique, individual hairstyles, i believe they do this to get a reaction out of people and to cause controversy, which after all is what emo is all about.




Band Image


Band Image Hairstyles-Traditional band hairstyles are long and uncontrolled, however pop/punk hair is the exception, most styles very in thickness and length but normally consist of choppy layers, a sweeping fringe and the odd spike or two, these elements are sometimes combined with brightly coloured highlights to give a rebellious look to the style.

Body-Although there is no rule on what to wear for the pop/punk genre I believe that plain clothes with not much colour in them would suit best, such as black, white, grey, dark purple etc these should be the primary colours and the more brighter colours such as red, blue, yellow etc should ideally be secondary colours.

Jeans- In most cases dark skinny jeans would be the obvious choice however there are alternatives to these such as coloured or patterned skinny jeans as well as baggy jeans or possibly shorts.

Shoes-Most band wear well known alternative makes such as converse, vans, DC’s etc, these makes would probably work best for creating an alternative look
