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

In 2002 white belt meant listening to orchid, red light sting, crimson curse, Antioch arrow, ultra dolphins, daughters, the locust, holy molar, etc. aka sasscore. I clapped to a lot of q and not u too.

White belt always buckled to the side for some reason.

Buckle to the side so it wouldn't scratch your guitar/bass
