Goth: Someone who embraces the negitive as well as positive aspects in life.  Music consists of 80's classics life Sisters of Mercy, an newer bands like Cruxshadows, Mira, and Skinny Puppy.  Often wear darker colors, (black goes with everything), act depressed but really just don't want to talk to anyone, and no, they're not Satanists.  However, many are just teenagers just trying to piss off their parents.\n\nEmo: A post-punk look/music.  Music constists of somewhat experamental sounds and depressed lyrics, like Bright Eyes.  Their look is comprised of vintage store items.  A relativly new look, it is mostly worn by teens and people in there 20's.  Again, many teens listen to the music just to piss of their parents.

Probably people need to do more research. At the same time, each of those groups DO have goth/satanic leanings in their music/lyrics. I'm sure there's more to them than that, but people often look at the surface rather than digging in.\n\nPersonally I don't really like any of those bands, from what I've heard lyrically it's too obscure/negative. But, on the same token we all come from different backgrounds, have different perspectives, and so yeah you probably won't convince everyone that they're the best, except for yourself and your friends of course ;) :)

Gothic is just a label.  There are nice goths and mean ones, just like every other group.  Most of the ones I know are nice.\n\nYes, you can be gothic an believe in God.  I know a couple of Christian goths, including a very devout Catholic.

If you really want to know, go to Wikipedia. Also, goth came from punk. They do, thus, have many shared musical and aesthetic tendencies.

Well I think for one thing it's their lack of knowledge about Goth culture. Goth and it's relation to devil worship I think gets confused because of the music and style of it. All you can do is be yourself and if Goth is your thing well you might try and educate people who are willing to listen about what the Goth live style is about and what you like about it. You've chosen a style or lifestyle that is outside what is considered " The Norm" and unfortunately will tend to get a negative reaction from some people.

Goths are the ones who think they are superior than "normals" of a society they cannot define, but throw the word around a lot. Wears black, boots, long coats, concert shirts of black metal bands or whatever. They wear all this crap over their face because they are "unique" but all look alike when you look at them in a whole. You can can tell one when they say "stop staring at me" or "I am unique and my own person" Yet they all wear black, white/dark make up and have all this crap in their face. Yeah no one is going to not stare at that and no you are not unique if you are labeled, groups of similarity are labeled, or else there would be no need to label! (That last part can go for each you asked of)\n\nEmos are the "new age" goths, but instead of black and all, they wear these "prep" clothes with a twist of "hardcore" They think everything is dramatic and out to make their lives crappy. When if they looked at themselves, they would see it is them that make their life miserable and not the ones around them. Emo(tional) they claim not all cut themselves, but when you look at majority, it is like goths they are labeled for a reason with their ways and actions. They area bunch of dramaqueens, and I say that for both boys and girls that partake in the 2004-present trend of todays dumb teens.\n\nPunk is against the "establishment" the almighty "Man" In other words they wold prefer anarchy so they can do whatever they want without consequences, they take no responsibility of their actions. Hippies in a way, but more on the extreme side, the anti-hippie, instead of peace and loving order, they prefer anarchy and do what they want without remorse. Bums really, mainly they are so stoned out their minds all they do is sit around complaining how the "Man" is keeping them down and trying to overthrow the "establishment" again what is this "establishment?"\n\nI could go on and on about these groups, and yes, some I have been with, and noticed they are all the same and well, they have labels for a reason and none of them are unique, if anything they are apart of their "society" "establishment" and crappy lives because it is all so dramatic and a harsh world. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY GET OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND EXPERIENCE THE REAL WORLD!!

I keep hearing about Emo's. What the hell is an Emo? Since when is a kid who is all 'wah-wah-I-hate-my-life-' a new trend?

If you're talking about the Amy Lee who heads Evanescence, I would say that's a matter of your personal definition of what a goth is.  To most people, I think she would appear as one,(possibly quite scary) and I would classify her music as goth rock.  But that's only about her appearance, clothes, and music.  Personality may also come into play.\n\nBut, no matter what, she totally rocks.

Goth is not a religion. Gothic is a time period that coincides with the victorian era. It`s also a design theme that involves the use of dark, rich colours and elaborate, intricate details.  And it so happens that a lot of wiccans dress in the gothic style. But that doesn`t mean everyone that dresses Goth is wiccan. It`s usally a choice of dress and they can practice ANY Religion.

Emo is a subgenre of hardcore punk music. Since its inception, emo has come to describe several independent variations, linked loosely but with common ancestry. As such, use of the term (and which musicians should be so classified) has been the subject of much debate.\n\nIn its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe the music of the mid-1980s DC scene and its associated bands. In later years, the term emocore, short for "emotional hardcore", was also used to describe the DC scene and some of the regional scenes that spawned from it. The term emo was derived from the fact that, on occasion, members of a band would become spontaneously and literally emotional during performances. The most recognizable names of the period included Rites of Spring, Embrace, One Last Wish, Beefeater, Gray Matter, Fire Party and slightly later, Moss Icon. The first wave of emo began to fade after the breakups of most of the involved bands in the early 1990s.

I thought emocore was short for "emotional hardcore" the music from the NY NJ area during the 80's that has soft passages and queer lyrics(very gay stuff) between bludgeoning guitar riffs. This emocore was probably just shortened down to the popular crappy music known as Emo. Just remember to wear your sister's black nutthugger jeans, and comb your silly hair down over your chin!!!

I understand where you're coming from, my mom is basically clueless to the teen styles/social classes. EMO is short for emotional. at an age of changing hormones and fighting to fit in, if ppl don't find a place in the social chain where they can fit in, then they often start to block out alot of the world around them and try to seek shelter inside their mind hoping somehow they'll find a friend. EMO kids usually wear kind of a mix of rocker/punk/goth clothing but not full strand to either one. like a typical emo kid would prolly have a black shirt sporting a heavy metal band or just skulls flames and stuff like that, dark colored jeans usually tight, wristbands to their elbows, spikey dyed hair, and other dark colored accessories. hope after you get through decoding all of my ramblings that this helps.

'goth people' is a very broad statement - can be anything from;\n1. people who like to dress up with all black, red, or white (but usually black)\n2. people who like industrial/'goth' music\n3. people who are fascinated with death, the contrast between Light and Darkness, evil, blood, self-destructional drama, vampires, cain, mythology or any combination therof. - and sometimes demonology, though this is more directly related with the occult rather than gothic anything - more of a direct working interest, rather than a passing fascination.\n4. people who like goth beauty & art\n5. people who are fascinated with evil\n6. creativity and self-expression that seeks to reach out and ensnare its audience using our current society's covert but deeply rooted fascination with all things dark and frightening\n7. There really is no true unifying stereotype or dress code as it were. Not all Goths are depressed, nor do they all wear black, listen to the same music, or employ the same modes of self-expression\n8. Goth in its simplest form, is a subculture. A group of people who feel comfortable within each others company. There is no specific thing that defines what you need to do or be to fit into the goth scene (except of course the implied black clothing (THOUGH NOT NECESSARY!!!)). People in the goth scene all have different musical tastes, follow different religions, have different occupations, hobbies, and fashion sense.\n9. a style of music\n10. anyone pale/usually with darker features (eyes/hair)\n11. Christians can be goths, in some senses of the word - and there are more than you'd believe. \n12. 'goth' is a state of mind, or almost a self sterotype - which as all words.... has whatever meaning you attach to it.
