Modern Rock Star Fashions Hot Wardrobe Trends For Teenage Music Fans

By: Vin DeWolfe

A great example of extreme genre dressing is exhibited by fans of goth music. Just a mention of one of the genre conjurs up images of a weird looking group of teens at the mall. You know the type, they're all dressed in black with multiple piercings and spiked hair. When it comes to looking the part, these kids don't skimp on any part of their wardrobe. It's an all or nothing kind of look that isn't the most acceptable, to say the least.

Quite often, these hard-core teenage rockers also adorne themselves with multiple piercings. When it comes to peircings things are always evolving. One of the hottest piercing trends is referred to as gauging. It's a simple method of starting out with a standard piercing and then inserting ever larger sized pieces of metal into the hole. Gauges are available in a variety of sizes, including everything from plugs and tunnels to barbells and tapers.

Tongues, eyebrows, cheeks, noses, chins and lips are all popular public piercings. Some kids go all out and pierce everything twice if they can. The average teen doesn't go quite so far though and uses their piercings as small, yet distinct accessories. Of course, most places won't do a piercing for anyone under 18 unless they've got Mom or Dad's permission. That means alot of kids that want piercings have to wait until they're a little older.

For under-age kids with parents dead-set against any form of face piercing, there are easy ways to fake it. Check around at the mall at a popular teenage merchandise store. You'll find all kinds of magnetic fake piercings for your ears, lips and nose. How cool is that? They'll be totally legal with the parents and there's absolutley no risk of infection or anything else.

A lot of kids would also love to tattoo themselves. Again, this isn't a hugely popular notion among parents and other adults. But, alot like fake piercings, temporary tattoos are a great solution. There are literally thousands of inexpensive, interesting designs for kids to choose from too. It's quick, painless and best of all, temporary so there isn't any regret later on.

Jewelry like cuffs and collars are also quite popular in the teenage rock community. From glittery, girly pieces to hardcore heavy-metal spiked leather pieces, there's something for every taste. Fingerless gloves have long been accessory favorites among the most devoted rock fashion followers. Whether they're emo stripes or leather and chain, they speak rock and roll. Some teens take the jewelry idea a step further and use tooth grills with flashy rhinestones or metal finishes.

Hoodies are a new phenomena in the rock world. Nearly every rock band and fan out there wears them. Striped hoodies are super popular with emos and punk rockers. Serious rocker hoodies even come with a myriad of buckles and straps attached to them. There are even hoodies that zip up all the way to the top of the hood, forming a mask in some. Other zip all the way up hoodies even have plastic eye windows that allow you to see.

Band tee shirts are an absolute must in any rockers wardrobe. Band t's don't have to be black to be rockstar cool. The popularity of the band shirt isn't as important as the impact of the colors, graphics and words on it. Some groups of teens actually prefer to wear vintage shirts of classic rock bands while others stick with new shirts only.

Emo rockers tend to go for tight, dark wash or black jeans. Meanwhile the metal rocker can usually be found wearing baggy Tripp pants with metal chains and sippers all over them. Denim jeans with rips, tears and holes even have their place in teen rockstar fashion. Not all teenage rockers go to extreme with their pants though, some simply wear jeans and add to their look from there.

Shoes finish off every outfit! To get their specific look though, smart teens don't mix musical genres. For example, most emo lovers wouldn't wear baggy, everyday kid fashions with their emo clothes. It just wouldn't give the same impression. Chunky canvas and high-top tennis shoes usually go well with most genre styles, including emo, metal and hard-rock. Still, alot of other shoe types and styles are totally appropriate, including tall leather boots for the seriously goth all the way to spikey high heels for the glamorous rocker look.

Building the ultimate teenage rocker wardrobe is easy. Every rocker needs things like a couple of hoodies, some band tees, a couple pairs of cool jeans and some canvas tennis shoes. Add your own personality to the outfit with accessories, jewelry and top it off with an awesome hair style. Now, rock on!
