American Idol 2008 Makes Emo Hair Cool
Who’d've ever thunk it: American Idol, that ultimate cool show (and not much for punk or alternative rock) has made Emo hair cool. They’ve done it through the help of fan favorite David Cook. Cook is one of the final few and a native of Blue Springs, MO. This 25 year old has boasted several looks on the show, but the most consistent one has been the frequent appearance of his Emo hair.
Cook has never identiified himself as an Emo on the show, but some of the song he has sung have had a hard enough edge to them that he could easily sing songs that would appeal to the Emo community. At the very least, he has brought the look to the mainstream. Now if only Simon would join him he’s already got the black wardrobe down pat!
