Thank you for your answers so far. Just for future reference, if you are a Green Day fan, please don't answer my questions because I don't care what you think. So basically, emos are just more screwed up kids that listen to shitty music? And I am 22 and far from goth, but I LOVE Pantera! Pantera is not goth, I kick it with them often at a club mutually owned by them and a friend of mine in Dallas. They are from the same city as me, Arlington, TX. They are some of the coolest guys you will ever meet. R.I.P. Dimebag.

emo is slang for emotional. people don't usually want to be emo but are sterotyped by having dark hair thats usually covering their eyes, listening to music that may have sad or suicidal lyrics and generally being an outcast. People who are "emo" may also cut themselves. These do not apply to everyone, they are just some typical sterotypes. "emo" people also listen to emo music such as modest mouse, alkaline trio, and the get up kids.
"goths" on the other hand usually listen to metal bands such as pantera, nine inch nails, celtic frost or slayer. Goths usually like to stand out and defy standards whereas an "emo" might just want to fit in.
by the way- my chemical romance and fall out boy are emo bands. my chemical romance is no where near gothic or metal. a true metalhead would be appalled to hear that.

Goth is a subculture dedicated to the dark and macabre.
Emo is focused around extreme personal emotion.
