Morrissey is a pioneer in the EMO hairstyle. Before EMO had a name, Morrissey who fronted the 80's band "The Smiths" was sporting this hair do. Morrissey is a self proclaimed vegetarian and maybe that's how his EMO hair got so outrageous. Here's a bit more info on Morrissey: In 1982 Morrissey and guitarist Johnny Marr formed The Smiths. The Smiths are widely regarded as one of the most influential bands of the 1980s alternative rock movement. They have been consistently acclaimed by the music press, most infamously the NME, whose seeming obsession with the band earned them the nickname "The New Morrissey Express". Signature themes of The Smiths' work include Morrissey's darkly witty lyrics and Marr's melodic and thickly layered songwriting. The band became a success in the UK, Ireland, and Australia, and grew into a cult phenomenon in the United States of America, where the band became known on college radio charts with songs such as "How Soon Is Now?" and "Panic." The band broke up in 1987 after Marr and Morrissey fell out over musical differences. The band released four proper studio albums and several compilations between 1984 and their breakup, including 1986's The Queen Is Dead, which has been placed highly on a number of critical "Greatest Album" lists. Some more famous music gorupsl with EMO hairstyles include Alkaline Trio, Fugazi, Morrissey, and Taking Back Sunday. |
