I read the lyrics to the spoof song "I'm an Emo Kid" and it seems like "...cheap imitation of goth..." is dead-on.
I thought I didn't know what an Emo Kid is, but of course I have seen them everywhere- I just thought it was this generation carrying over Goth.
So what's really the difference? (Besides that maybe emo's are more wannabe)

Emos have blond hair and try to skateboard, Goths have black hair and can't go outside to even try skateboarding, because their skin might melt off or (gasp) tan. Emos think they're a cool mix of punk and goth but are really just weird. Goths think they're vampires and are also weird. Emos get their name from a hairstyle many of them wear (long and covering one eye). Goths get their name from a type of 18th and 19th century architecture (it featured gargoyles and darker colors).

nicely goth is an artwork, its the appreciation of the astounding thing approximately darkness in its finished experience.you do no longer necesarily ought to positioned on black each and all of the time and use very harsh makeup to be goth.there are people who've the means to create beautiful goth artwork at the same time with poetry and function a deep awareness of the meaning of the obscure by making use of dressing "wide-spread". Now emo is extra of a sort than something, now i comprehend all emos available are going to hate me for asserting this yet i think of emos are a affordable reproduction of goths and if no longer an insult to it.there subculture is extra approximately hair and garments sort than a concentration of a particular meaning or aportation to actual artwork.I evaluate their subculture particularly to be pathetic actually yet this is basically my opinion.

Emo is a sort of bird puppet - used to be controlled by Rod Hull - It wasn't real . Goth was a charector on 'Brian Drain the sadfaced Crane' always dressed in black and carried a Cure album . It is said Emo is going to make a comeback .
