The wonder that is The Emo Fringe

I had a thought earlier on...
In recent years, we've all seen the phenomenon that is the emo fringe, right?
The ever-so-unattractive sweep of hair across one's forehead. Perfect for creating that ever essential air of mystery, or rather, a sense of anonymity. Not only do you get to blend in amongst a sea of people with the same haircut, but you also get partial facial obscurity. Result.

I got to thinking though, and realised.... isn't the emo fringe like a younger version of the combover? Today's high-stylin', makeup wearing, skinny jeans afficionados are just tomorrow's balding men with a beer gut and an ugly check shirt.



Attractive, huh?

Also, is the emo haircut not a bit like a mullet, but in reverse?
With a mullet, we're talking short hair in front, long and dangly down the back. An emo has short hair in the back, with a sweeping fringe across their face.

There's some food for thought, my friends.
