So,this thread is rather pointless,but i just hate those Emo/Goth "wanna be"swith hero hair. And every single level I play,most of the pictures are from them.No,I'm not a hater,but I'm just frustrated cuz of themnlike,there are 90% self cutting people playing LBP?

I thought emo was just a fashion style derived from Japanese trends & anime: straight hair & texturized razor cuts. I don't think it has anything to do with romanticizing death & darkness. The current generation of youth is just trying to express themselves, and if someone's expressive about their own looks they're probably an artistic type on the side that would gravitate towards a game like LBP.

Emo is made from japanese trends & anime? ^^' i don't think so i know some anime/manga fans in real life and they are normal people just like to watch comics and anime and you know... sometimes like to cosplay but thats complitly diffrent style emo is dark style, black cloths, black painted hair and listing to heavy music, also is to be emotinal... over-emotional about things, this why other people don't like them much. This have nothing to do with Japan. http://www.google.pl/images?q=emo&um=1&hl=pl&client=opera&rls=en&tbs=isch:1&ei=VrBeTZeqCMvJ4Aa-4-HqCQ&sa=N&start=0&ndsp=20

I'm a hairstylist & I saw the trend evolve from leaders in fashion and style starting to emulate what was happening in the east (since I was a gamer too, I probably recognized it for what it was quicker than most in my profession), and every young kid slowly coming in to get the same haircut in the same clothes. I remember distinctly a show in 2003 that set it off, and the lead stylist openly stated "I derive alot of my inspiration from Japanese animation, where you see very uncommon & seemingly impossible hair" - a few years later, nobody even knows why it's the style to dress like Japanese school children when not in uniform... it just is. The psychological cultural shift behind African American women straightening their hair, is why alot of young men nowadays own a straightening iron. The rising popularity of Japanese RPG's with Tetsuya Nomura artwork in the mid 90's, and the cultural norm & appreciation that anime & manga has now (used to be a very niche, dork thing like dungeons & dragons or something in the 80's) and why American Saturday morning cartoons look like fake, low-budget anime is why the young kids who are now teenagers are very receptive to the style as an exotic, but familiar 'cool' even if they're not anime fans or really into japan.

You are annoyed by this trend? Would you survive the next logical step after the emo style will dissipate? -- Hipsters.

Ok - I'm going to give this thread a chance..... Do Not - use insulting language, or generally be rude/hateful and this thread may survive...

The only thing I can think to say is its impressive that they have seemingly played every level. They aren't doing any harm. Its like trying to keep some butt head from cutting you off. Honking and tooting your horn won't do a thing. Using sackbots in your levels is kinda like busting out a V8 and muscling them out of the way.

Emo isn't specifically a fashion trend, at least in this country it's derived from a style of music.

Emo isn't specifically a fashion trend, at least in this country it's derived from a style of music. music popularizes fashion & style. the style of music is from the artists and the look was derived from them in tht way. it's a six degrees of seperation kind of thing. pioneers exhibit the specific fashion and style on their persons either because they live and work in the scene that adopts or originates a style, look & culture of fashion, or they're the first to do it & it becomes the next thing. Those who venture into the genre wear the same shoes their predecessors wore. If you perform in a hip-hop club every week, you'll eventually be wearing your hat a certain way and the girls there will fawn over it, while the guys start turning their hats that way too. Popularity of music is garnered widely by look & image, as the vast majority of listeners are coerced less by substance & quality than they are by superficial packaging. Impressionable fans subconscioussly or intentionally emulate their favorites for so many reasons. To feel good, to fit in, to attract the opposite sex; you name it. It's the same way gangsta rap popularized corn rows, raiders jackets & dickies, even though gangsta's & that style existed long before the music industry made it look good in videos via artist's who dressed how they always have, and how everyone in their family & neighborhood did. Same with flannel shirts, not shaving & filthy hair in seattle pre-Nirvana.

Oh of course it does, I was pointing out that the term "emo" didn't originate in Japan, and at least in the US it and anime and not mutually exclusive (In reference to your first post). There's no denying that the emo look is big in Japan, as is anime

From Wikipedia... Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk rock bands, its sound and meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s by groups such as Jawbreaker and Sunny Day Real Estate. By the mid 1990s numerous emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent record labels began to specialize in the style. Emo broke into mainstream culture in the early 2000s with the platinum-selling success of Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional and the emergence of the subgenre "screamo". In recent years the term "emo" has been applied by critics and journalists to a variety of artists, including multiplatinum acts and groups with disparate styles and sounds. In addition to music, "emo" is often used more generally to signify a particular relationship between fans and artists, and to describe related aspects of fashion, culture, and behavior. As you can see, Emo doesn't originate from Japan and has nothing to do with Manga.

This thread is not about emos in general, (otherwise it would be in general chat) it's about those dern kids spamming LBP with their close up photos in the popular levels. The photos don't even show any part of the level they are in, it's just extreme closeups of their sackboy/girl. It's annoying when I check photos of the level to see what it's like, and it's just a bunch of close ups! Arg. Does the PS3 date changing/photo thing still work in LBP2? At least we can delete unwanted photos from our levels now.

To be fair, there is no rule stating "Any and all pictures uploaded from levels MUST be showing an entire section of the level." So they wanna show off their costumes, what's wrong with that? I've met a few of those so called "emos" and asked them why do that, some of the answeres were that they're just showing they played and enjoyed the level, others they're pretty good costume makers and are just trying to show off their abilities a little, majority tho, didn't declare themselves "emo" (tho a few did, but seem they didn't even know what emo was.) so not ALL of that is for bad emo-related reasons, m8.

lol you believe in stereotypes too much if you think everyone with a certain hair cut, cuts themselves. People have had haircuts like that forever it's nothing new. Look at the beetles hair way back not too much different. You judge a book by it's cover.

I once had friends like them.Some of them were actually cool.But what I hate about them is that they spam EVERY SINGLE level with their photos.I've seen just 50 photos of the same guy trying to be "hot" and "fish" LBP girls.

I think NinjaMicWZ was trying to say is that their style is very similar to Japan/ Manga. And besides its a nasty stereotype (I used to be bulled just because I listened to My Chemical Romance) It never used to be a stereotype for someone i who self harms It used to be a music genre but some people are trolls

It just so happens the hero hair is one of the best hairstyles in the game. I'm far from emo, but I like that style. There's a gap in hairstyles, by there being no hairstyle for the common short cut wit a bit of a mohawk. We thought we were getting it in the ghostbusters pack, but we didn't. It's probably the hair closest to what young people have. It's not emo hair. It's plastic kung fu doll hair.

signify a particular relationship between fans and artists, and to describe related aspects of fashion, culture, and behavior.[/I] As you can see, Emo doesn't originate from Japan and has nothing to do with Manga. Straight hair, super texturized razor cuts, skinny jeans that make you look like a character from Persona was not punk in the 1980's. I was in London when skinheads were cracking skulls as a kid, I know what punk is. I know what depressed, emotive music is. I know that a mohawk, devil spikes etc is not the same as a a guy getting a relaxer treatment on his hair so that it's dead flat & straight, a combing his jagged, texturized bangs over his eyes and down past his cheek, with little whispy sideburns and elegant, effeminate softness did not start in 1980's punk or the seattle grunge scene. You know what an emo haircut is called in Japan? A regular haircut. I did it for ten years straight in tons of cities and states before teenagers started coming in wearing skinny jeans & wanting these haircuts & styles in the mid 2000's. It is distinctively Japanese, and razor cutting itself as a technique originates in Japan. It's the exact same way Joe Maduerira in the mid 90's easternized mainstream western comic books, again by giving Rogue a distinctively Japanese haircut in the huge-selling Age of Apocalypse series. After that, westernized manga 'art style' started coming out of the wood works like crazy and krept into every facet of life. All kids who dress that way aren't musicians, and they think it's cool because current musicians do, and in the hollywood world, these successful bands have their own stylists and wardrobe coordinators to professionaly create their image & look for them. I doubt many fashion consultants are writing articles for wikipedia, to begin with, and it's a terrible unreliable source especially for personal recountings of cultural trends. Aside from all this, it's a scientific biological fact that the hair texture and style that's currently popular is only found naturally in people of east asian & native american descent. It varies in degree, due to genetics, but if you show me this picture and say I want to look like this http://ts4.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=409467028067&id=e9699d3e94047079a061fceb7ddf34f6 then I guarantee you the guy in that picture's stylist tried to make him look like this http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:3uab654rCCbSAM: who looks like this http://i387.photobucket.com/albums/oo317/Super-Swalbu/Anime/LanceKumori.jpg because the guy who drew, and has been drawing it that way since the 80's because he and most of the youth and people he knew look like this http://newfashion.in/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Japan-Style-Hair.jpg so it's art imitating life there, while life imitates art here. while in the 80's in the US everyone looked like this http://www.businessweek.com/business_at_work/work_life_balance/archives/power%20suit.jpg http://www.largeandlovelyfancydress.co.uk/ekmps/shops/largeand/images/80-s-punk-rocker-costume-522-p.jpg http://ts4.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=422526791871&id=ed59f99086a94d8b3 2155f92a75b7700 http://www.freewebs.com/the80s/03.jpg and in the 90's US it was this http://futurefabfashion.newlook.com/wp-content/uploads/imported/6a0120a5bdb5ed970c0120a6ac8e22970c-800wi.jpg http://themixtapemonster.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/jnco1.jpg Now it's this - http://punkgoesindie.com/wp-content/uploads/emo-boy-330x4621.jpg which looks more like this http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/097/5/1/Anime_Male_Face_by_GingerKId2.jpg than it does like this http://simonbisleygallery.com/art/biz0048.jpg or this http://mykec.net/mykec/images/mly/idol_billy_greatest_hits.jpg this http://www.taramtamtam.com/wallpapers/Music/B/Boy_George/images/Boy_George_1.jpg and this http://www.lavatickets.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/bon-jovi.jpg That fashion style was adopted by the western youth of today who may just happen to listen a particular genre of music that's stereotypically associated with it, and may or may not enjoy anime. Nothing to be defensive about. Fashion magazines are dominated by European trends & "Paris rules" - it's not like Microsoft Vs Sony here.

Heavy Rain Ethan hair; if you do a lot of sackbot characters might make it worth the download price (there are actually several costume pieces that might be considered more "normal")

the hero hair is the only thing that works for a Richter sackbot from Castlevania, since everything else makes him look like an old man, and the Ryu hair is too short, the wrong color & if you sticker it black it's PITCH black, along with the bandanna. I really wish 'parts' of costume pieces could take on separate stickering in more cases.

Yeah we need more normal and anime like wigs, like i talked about in my topic. https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=49811-Well-why-not-Here%E2%80%99s-some-ideas as it's real hard to make the right look for many kind of characters with the limited wigs we have. *mew PS: At the OP. I don't look at level pics much. i don't think it's anything to worry about. it's just silly people trying to be popular on LBP, it's little annoying. but that's people in general for you.

I honestly don't see the problem people have with "Hero Hair." I usually have "emo" hair in real life, and I'm not a whiny self mutilating loser. I just like how it looks. It's better than flock of seagulls hair and mullets. :/
