whats the different between goth, emo, and people who like to wear black?

Question

my friend wears black nail polish and black clothes and she said shes not goth or emo...shes really weird

Answer 1

okay if your friend is like that and she says she's not emo or goth then why don't you respect that. i think she would be the one who really actually knows who she is.
goth.. not exactly sure but its NOT a clothing style or the way your dress.. there's more to that
emo.. they are emotional.. listen to sad songs, maybe cut themselves or are suicidal

Answer 2

The goth subculture is a contemporary subculture prevalent in many countries. It began in the United Kingdom during the late 1970s to early 1980s in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the post-punk genre. The goth subculture has survived much longer than others of the same era. Its imagery and cultural proclivities indicate influences from nineteenth century Gothic literature, mainly through horror movies. The goth subculture has associated gothic tastes in music and fashion. Gothic music encompasses a number of different styles. Common to all is a tendency towards a “dark” sound and outlook. Styles of dress within the subculture range from death rock, punk, Victorian, androgynous, some Renaissance style clothes, or combinations of the above, most often with black attire, makeup and hair.

Emo (slang), a slang term used to describe a wide range of fashion styles and attitudes which have roots in emo music

Answer 3

you do no longer sound like the two- you sound scene. Stereotypically, emo= too emotional, many times cuts, very into song, wears dark with fairly superb clothing... goth= kinda "I hate the worldwide" approach, purely wears black...

Answer 4

nothing they all act and look the same
