2nd Millenioum and then










Cyber Goths


With the start of the new millenioum Cybergoths became more colourful. They choose more neon colours than black like what they used in 90s'. The profile of those who belong in this subculture became more "futuristic". They adopt nicknames as "nuclear" and "biohazard". The taste in music became more electronic and the lyrics are vulgar while some of them refer to suicide and sacrifice.





















EMOS

Despite the fact that the emo subculture started in middle 80s' it's been years until 2006 when it became a fashion. Youths, especially teenagers, adopted this style as it was one of the most known and effective that period. The ideology remains as it was but the fashion becomes more colourful. They are linked with the symbol of heart <3 and broken heart </3.
Emos use the phrase "Haters Make Me Famous" that exists because they use to be unfriendly to each other and "Hate" other emos. Moreover there are many people who not only don't like this subculture but they can't even accept it. These are the emo haters who use to go around in groups and beat emos while some of them use to have a pair of scissors so that to cut the emo fringes. Their music changes to more hardcore, the vocals more screamy and the lyrics are more suicidal and self-catastrophic.











Nintendocore



This is a subculture that started in the late 90s' from US but it has been mainstream in 00s' till today. It is a sub-genre of hardcore-punk and post-hardcore music in a mix with video games' sounds and melodies. The vocals are usually screams and sometimes the music reminds more electro than hardcore. This movement started from the group Horse the Band that had the term "Nintendocore" as a joke but after 2000 when they published their first album that demostrated this style with the name "The black Hole". Nowadays one of the most famous Nintendocore bands is Enter Shikari. The dress-code is similar to hardcore one but Nintendocores use more bright and light colours than black and dark.

Pokemones






Yeah. This is a subculture based on the famous Japanese anime Pokemon. It was emerged in the middle 2000s' and it started declining around 2009. Especially teens were members of this team. The have an outfit similar to Otaku and Emo but they didn't have the same music taste. It is said that they used to go to parties, dance  reggaeton music and kissing and groping each other (both males and females). Their way of communication was through sharing their photos via Fotolog and talking on msn. They are usually from the Chilean middle and lower class. They are juxtaposed against another group calles pelolais. In January 2008, Internet messages surfaced urging violence against Pokemones and the members of this genre were usually attacked out of pubs and discos. In response of that, Chilean government and Santiago's main student leaders organized an anti-violence campaign called "Foundation for a Better Future".
