Why do people associate emo with a faux hawk?

Answer by  Dana46 (2345)

The faux hawk hairstyle and the emo categories arose around the same time, and the faux hawk is a popular hairstyle of choice for teens who want to have interesting hair but must keep away from anything drastic.

I am not quite sure. Not all emos wear faux hawks. I think it was one of the first "emo" hairstyles. I think faux hawks are more "jock" than "emo"
