emo bangs
Side-swept eye-covering hair
Emo bangs are a hairstyle featuring long, side-swept fringe that covers part of the face, typically one eye.
Associated with emo subculture and its aesthetic of emotional intensity, the style peaked in the mid-2000s among teenagers drawn to emo music and fashion: She spent twenty minutes straightening her emo bangs.
The look signals sensitivity, introversion, or indie sensibility.
