Answer 1

goths-hate the world
emos-hate themselves

Answer 2

You would do best to look up 'emo' on Wikipedia. As far as I can tell, 'emo' is shorthand for 'emotive' or 'emotional hardcore' (depending on who's telling you). Saying it's short for 'emotional' is patently ridiculous; all music is about emotions - inspiring them, defining them, nurturing them and even engendering them. To insist that one genre of music is more 'emotional' than any other is nonsense.

Goth is more a lifestyle or outlook on life than anything. They tend to accept that there are bad things as well as good things in life, rather than 'sweep them under the rug', to say, and pretend they don't exist. They can dress however they want, although many prefer darker colors and more dramatic clothes and makeup, and listen to lots of songs and varied genres of music, which can include but are by no means limited to, new wave, darkwave, ethereal, Celtic, goth rock, punk, postpunk, chants, heavy metal, industrial, Latin, et cetera. Not all are interested in vampires - in fact, relatively few are. Many if not most have good relationships with their parents. Very few have mental or psychological problems. Most are actually quite nice, if a bit saturnine. Very, very, very few are 'satanists' or 'devil worsippers'. Most of the young teenagers who listen to Marilyn Manson, Disturbed, Slipknot, Korn, My Chemical Romance, Drowning Pool, et cetera and wear heavy thick makeup and studded spike collars and bracelets are called 'Mall goths', shop mostly at Hot Topic, and - this is important - they're not real goths. They just seem to think they are. They act disturbed and surly and try to impress/intimidate people. It seldom works, as most are obviously pathetic, and almost all will (thankfully) grow out of it. If you'd like a comprehensive explanation, try visiting goth.net.

Answer 3

Why are you such a ******** idiot?

Emo stands for emotional.

Gothic is literature, fashion, and music

NOT ALL GOTHS CUT THEMSELVES

I know rape victims that cut themselves and they're not goth or emo.

Don't believe what the media tells you. They're just a bunch of hypocrital conservative favorists.

Answer 4

first of be carefull with generalisations. not all emo fans will be into self mutialtion.

gothic subculture is a live style. not quite as happy and go lucky with the fake smiles as the rest of society.

some charakteristics are style, music, literature and comunity.

gothics maninly wear black. often combined with pale makeup and eyeliner. they dress up for going out, and look even more elegant and pale.

gothic music has a wieder spectrum than emo. it can range from industrial ( noisy rithmical) to some punk, melancolic music, medival and elektronic dance music.

gothics steretypicaly like books on vampires, horror in general, and poetry.

gothics are often a tight knitt comunity in larger cities

Answer 5

ok, initially, emo is a sort of track, not a personality variety. Secondly, to respond to your question, there is many the reason why human beings shrink themselves. some human beings do it because this is something of their surroundings they could administration. Others do it because it releases endorphins and feels fairly strong, apparently. some human beings do it to kill themselves. some human beings even do it for interest.

Answer 6

emo has been described as "goth on estrogen". emo stands for emotional obviously. they don't all cut themselves. I have goth friends who are normal and don't cut themselves.

Answer 7

i agree with the first answer here... in short:
emo's are "emotional" (hence the name) and sensitive, while not all "Goths" are, so yeah there you go.




p.s. not all emo's cut themselves.
