I think fashioncore kids look the way they do because somewhere down the line all the hardcore boys got sick of all the girls dressing like boys, so they took it upons themselves to start dressing like girls who dress like boys to appeal more to them. This got out of hand, because then the girls had to try and look more girly but failed miserably, because they're into hardcore and female so they obviously have no fashion sense. So all the girls ended up getting those Shotgun haircuts, so the guys got them too! Then the girls started wearing makeup and so did the guys! It's this endless cycle and all you end up with is having a hard time checking someone out from behind because it's a toss up on what kind of equipment is in the front of the jeans. Most of these kids can be found on THIS SITE arguing about who's "scene" and who's not, but for the most part, they only go to $16 package tour shows which is not a part of any scene except the moneymaking scene. Even more unfortunate is the sad truth that this look sells now, so there's a bunch of kids starting bands with a bunch of other people who look exactly like them in hopes of becoming THE NEXT BIG THING. People might as well start going to shows dressed as fucking aliens. I'd have a better chance of being able to relate to them.
