90's Fashion Help

[Lucky 5]

It's the whole L thing. We're interchangeable, just ask Rayzor.

Yay for goth, I suggested that! If you don't post a picture you are in serious trouble.

I remember that Siouxsie look back in the day, but I seem to recall a resurgence, if you will, of goth here in the 90s. Am I getting emo and goth mixed up? Isn't it all a lot of black and "I'm so tortured and misunderstood" horsecrap?

[Farin 2]

emo wasn't before the 00s, right?

90s had 'Generation X'ers, Slackers and Grungers

-"We're the MTV generation, we're neither happy nor sad"

-"Oh, and how does that feel like?"

-"Meh "

Emo didn't seem to come around till about 9th or 10th for me. which woulda been around 2004.

Goth (80s) involved a lot of black, but not so much the "tortured and misunderstood horsecrap". Emo, (relatively recent phenomenon) entails the nauseating self-pity, but perhaps less emphasis on blackness.

I'm not aware of either goth or emo being at all prevalent in the 90s, but there may have been some kind of a resurgence in the US (as there was with punk rock); not having visited the States during that decade (or any other), I have remained in blissful ignorance thereof.

I disticntly remember goth here in the 90's. We're always behind Europe style wise.

Goth is 80s. There were a few stragglers here and there in the 90s, but it was definitely 80s.

Well, I've already got a wig and I don't think the south Georgia rednecks around here will know the difference. However, my sense of wanting to be correct is nagging at me.

I may just go as a sloppy Courtney Love and shoot smack throughout the whole thing.

Wasn't there a look called "heroin chic" that had its day here in the states? I don't remember if it was '90's or not, but it was a pale face with dark rimmed eyes. It was popular in fashion magazines

[Tenacious_Peaches 0]

True. Unfortunately, I am a bit too fluffy to pull off the "gaunt" look.

[Ombre Vivante 0]

Yes, but you can still wear mottled and torn up clothes with dark make-up around the eyes - like a Calvin Klein ad

Okay, people, the event has come and gone. Thank you all so much for your input and advice. I decided to go grunge. The goth had an ambiguous time frame and I didn't have the patience to explain anything else to the uninformed masses all day long.

So here I am. Backwards baseball hat, thermal undershirt, flannel shirt wrapped around my waist, long cargo shorts, Chuck Taylor high tops. To make the grunge thing more authentic, I also shot smack and penned an incomprehensible 13 stanza song about the plight of the pygmies in the ancient Aztecian society and how it relates to my daddy not loving me enough.

The sun was in my eyes; thus the dumb look on my face.

Snazzy getup, Peachy. How much you want for the golf cart?

[Tenacious_Peaches 0]

That golf cart's worth a lot of newbie lunch money, honey.

[skybluesky 0]

The only thing missing is the obligatory Nirvana T-shirt worn over the thermal. You are bringing back some memories to my greener, younger, grungier days lady.

[Ombre Vivante 0]

Whoa. That's rad

[Lucky 5]

I can't tell if your hair is sufficiently greasy/stringy looking (god, I hope not) but Peachy you do look like you'd be right at home up the road in Athens!

I hope you remembered to look at your shoes while playing the chords. That's crucial for grunge.

[Levis 6]

There is too much white on dem sneakers!! And the laces are tied too neatly!

Also - may I have that flannel shirt? It is way cool. I like it. Gimme!

[Wyld Card 5]

I know this is kinda late, I can't believe I missed this thread.

The whole ADIDAS hip-hop look was popular in the late 90's.

Wearing a baseball cap backwards and baggy pants started going in style.

Stussy, No Fear, and Mossimo were popular Prep clothing brands.

Also, hemp necklaces were popular for the stoners.

And don't forget about Pagers, remember beepers? Me neither.

[Earth-Angel 0]

I had a pager, a Stussy shirt, baggy Boys of London jeans, one of those ridiculous lumo shoestring necklackes with 20 or so charms and a massive lumo orange dummy, and a yin yang ring.

I was so cool.

Exactly... If you want to be hip and cool and stuff, the very first thing you do when you buy new shoes is retie the shoelaces

And I can't see the picture Useless library connection

I don't think that it's your connection...
