Are Emo & Goths The Same?

I would say I’m a emo/scene kid. Sorta a hippie. But schyeah, goths and emos are not the same and goth kids don’t really cut themselves. And you can be emo without being a cutter.

okay ummm…lilmizkutie you dont know what your talking about Emo IS short for Emotinal but it is also a type of music…emos cut goths complain…emos hate themselves…goths are over dramatic and hates the world HOW IN THE F* IS THAT ANYWHERE THE SAME???!!?!?!???!?

okay dontblamedaem0 in my world gothics and emos are the same. they are both depressed over life and they hate themselves & people. people have diff opinions about if they are the same. nobody is wrong. and yes, I know emo is a type of music. but its turning in to a type of person.

HEL NO!!! I cannot belive you asked that question!! holy Sht dude! emos are just emotional who have a lot of problems and people need to learn that we just want to be left alone and all thoose goths out there power to you but if emos and goths were in a fight the goths would SUCK OUR RAINBOWS!!! frekka frekka WORD!

well, emo is short for emotional. and gothics are emotional. but they keep it inside so thats why they cut themselves and wear black stuff. sooo…emo is the definition of gothics. but some people say “hey that guy’s emo”. so yes. emo and goth is the same. people are going to learn that.

Emo is supposed to be a genre of music but people have turned it into a style which I think is inspired by the Gothic style. Labels are overrated though.

ok dontblamedaem0 you r rite but what does suck our rainbows mean…? && just 2 let everybody no that just because you cut urself doesnt make you emo! btw

ok guys…big diff…im emo I should know…there is a lil bit of the same traights…

goth dont always wear black man emos always wear funky rainbowlishious colors goths hate life emos hate life goths hate people emos hate themselves goth put up with life emos want to die goth dont cut emos in the other hand CUT OFTENLY!!!

but yea if a goth got in an argument w/ a emo they would end up comin out sickin their dick…NO OFFENSE…

NOW BACK TO MY OWN BUISNESS…BYE

They’re not the same. Emo’s a genre of music…but its been turned into a “lifestyle” as far as goth…they’re different types of goth. Depends on whether you’re talking like that old-fashioned, elegant victorian goth or the morbid skulls and chains goth…?

nopers they’re worlds apart I see you put think so I”m asuming you know & are just curios about other people’s opinions

hi guys I just felt like writting heehee

there close but not close at the same time

emo is hateing yourself

goth is hating the world

thats main difference

dont hate on either

no, there not there 2 completely different genres but emo is a little bit newer than goth, so theyve taken parts and styles from it theyve also taken bit from the “scene” genre and ect everyone borrows from everyone else but even now, there are different kinds of emo styles and stuff but no there not and will never be the same.

not at all

yah…they`re both gay

I do believe they are not

nah. goths hate the world and emos hate themselves.

um…xxxmeezexxx, goths don’t hate life, or people. Emo’s do not wear “funky/rainbowlicious” ( that isn’t even a word!!!) clothes. They are not the same!! I HATE WHEN PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS LIKE THIS. (AND WHEN PEOPLE GIVE STUPID ANSWERS!!!)

no not really…well kind of. goth and emo are both breaks off of punk. emo is generally tight jeans (that can really be of any colour) and a band top. goth is a whole range of things like buckled platform boots, black lipstick or blood red lipstick. but theres also gothic lolita (think mana), cyber goth ( which is very popular in japan in whick cybers wear fluro OTT clothes) alternative goth (think emilie autumn), vampire goths, medeival style goths (dresses in medeival style clothing). emos arent a huge range like goths and really only stick to one style of dressing. then thre are the scene kids that have a vague sort of emo hair but are obsessed with hello kitty, cartoons, dinosaurs etc and are all over myspace.
