Threats To emo-Subculture
There are many threats to emo subculture. Usually parents disapprove of their child's decision to adopt this subculture. It is also something that is not highly acceptable in society and is often looked down upon. Parents and society do not approve of this subculture mostly because they do not understand it. They see it as a form of rebellion and not a "subculture".The drastic appearance transformation, i believe through research, that this is what startles parents. The fact that the appearance is not "normal" in the everyday life of society people see it has being weird, different and unusual. Because it is different it is automatically shunned. There are many stereotypes that help with the disapproving of the subculture. In many articles parents say "Emo subculture killed my kid", (who committed suicide), when Emo is just a way of living. All Emos do not harm themselves. but, because this is how people see it, there is a strong desire to rid of the subculture all together.
