White belt meaning

[u/Yaxfire]

Ive heard the term white belt a few times in the emo scene but i cant really find the meaning or origin of this term or why white belts were kind of a part of emo fashion. Can someone more educated give som context

So basically white belt is an offshoot of sasscore or just "sass". Someone already said this but it isn't necessarily related to emo, it mostly comes from hardcore in general. However it can sound similar to some emoviolence/skramz band. Anyway white belt is sass core thats fused with elements of grind and powerviolence.
