What is the difference between emo scene and goth

Emo is what you do when your life is too pathetic and you want attention. One thing that I can describe to emos is something back in around I used to say about some people. Being in the goth scene is like going away to camp. Some stay on to be counselors. The rest when they go home are normal. Suck it emos, your time on this earth is temporary. Oh and btw. Emos write but it is usually candy ass shit that is low and miles beneath the Raven.

Actually goths are way more talented in both poems, songs and performing. Emos are just very one dimensional. I used to self harm and I have severe depression. I wear band tshirts, jeans, hoodies, and converse. I will admit that this is an interesting article. The comments are even more interesting. Personally, I believe that goths and emos are somewhat similar, but yes, they are different. From my observations, goths lean more towards elegance and classiness, while emos have more of a punkish style.

Emos are not all suicidal people who do nothing but complain about life and show off their self harm. Yes, some do self harm. Some actually are depressed. If someone does that, they are nothing but an attention seeking prat. Goths, like earlier stated, are a bit more elegant.

Not all of them, no, but most are somewhat classier than your average person. I am not going through tons of research to lecture on subtypes, but I am aware of goths who are not focused on such, but rather prefer to go out and rave, or something.

Not an expert, here. I like the classier, gothic styles. I also like a few, more emo things, such as their music. I have been told various times that I seem like a punk with my attitude. Over all, black is the main color for both types. We both have some vested interest in poetry, though I myself am rubbish at it.

Most of us come off as rather scary. We are actually nice people when you get to know us, though we appear to be antisocial at first. Well spare you guys more lecturing, really. Gah, my brain hurts. This seems to me, as a goth, to be more accurate than the actual article it is in response to.

The actual article looks like it was assigned to someone an they cherry picked the first articles that popped up on goggle. Thank you, I tried. Having poked around a bit more, I have learned that I am classified as an emo goth, with punk influences. Really, we are all part of the same extended family, so we should act like it and not pick on each other and defend everyone against haters. Got to be honest, I came back to read the ramblings of my younger self I.

E KingofEarth. My perspective however has long since changed and honestly why even bother trying to figure it out. As for Emo, it was originally a sub-genre of hardcore punk standing for emotive hardcore like the author said. You have to look at the actual facts here. Both subcultures or sub-genres have more background than you think.

I actually think this is pretty accurate. Of course there are faults, but all around, this is very well made. But, there could be a bit more explanation.

Goth and emo can be hard to tell apart at a glance but gothic people tend to like more accessories and more monochrome and darker colours Unless you are pastel or cyber goth. Goths usually tend to keep to monochrome scheme and love to wear necklaces, earrings, piercings, belts, bracelets, gloves, and many other accessories. Not all goths are into witchery and occults, some just like to dress that way and listen to that kind of music.

I switch between Cyber Goth and Goth at times. I think people just group them together since they share similarities but they are different. I do notice that the Emo culture is more music based as opposed to goth. Comment if you have a question! Fair enough if your music taste is half Goth rock and half EBM but a lot of original Goths and Deathrockers would have a problem with that and you might see what I mean if you do a bit more research.

C scene in the mid 80s. C hardcore sound it just grew more sub-genres and fusions like emo pop punk, skramz screamo , powerviolence and emoviolence god forbid the poseurs get within ear shot of those terms. But when they reached the mainstream they basically sold out and became made for the masses.

Goth, on the other hand, is a lot more than Emo ever was or will be. For example, Siouxsie Sioux inspired girls to back comb their hair and decorate their eyes in Cleopatra style whereas bands like Bauhaus, Robert Smith of the Cure , Specimen and Dave Vanian of The Damned inspired male fashion. Creed is not Goth! Not even remotely. And throw in a little Dead Can Dance. There is some pro-emo slant in this article. Try actually learning something about Goth before commenting on it.

For the record not all emos cut. Some goths do cut even scene and normal people cut so just because someone self harms dose not mean that their emo.

Also some people are emo their entire life and some goths sent goths forever. Neither subculture is better then the other not everyone in the subculture that they themselves identify with dress like other in their subculture do or listen to the same music also not all goths hate the world and not all emos hate themselves people need to realize that you cant always identify people by how they look,the music they listen to, and by whether or not they self harm but that's just my opinion.

Some comments to this article are simply silly. Someone commented that Goth do not really exist, however I re-assure you that Goths exists and unlike people who consider themselves as Emo, Goths stay Goths for very long time if not always. When it comes to Emo people, I have seen from many examples now that it is usually teenagers who become Emo and they stop being one when they reach about years. Whereas Goths just carry on staying Goths. Now tell me that Goths do not exist.

I would say it other way round. Im emo n i dont understand why people say i slash my wrist or why people are so stereotypic of me and other emos. This article simply explains the differences of two related subcultures. Of course it generalizes and offers stereotypical examples. Of course every person is different and self-expression is highly personal. For someone to say that emo is associated with depression does not mean that every person who identifies as emo is also depressed.

Thes are examples, ways to demonstrate similarities and differences so that people can understand the subcultures. So all of this arguing about what goth or emo individuals do or don't do is pointless.

For example, Panic! It can be argued that these bands have emo undertones to their music. You must be logged in to post a comment. The Rise of Dark Academia.
