Goths live in a world of darkness but embrace it and find beauty in it. Emos live in a world of darkness but hate it. Goths are usually more passive, while Emos are usually more whiny.

Well, I can at least help you out on the gothic half - it's been around longer.
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.

For a comprehensive explanation of 'emo', your best bet would be Wikipedia. It's too long to list here.

The Emo genre of music is entirely intolerable, while Goth music -- esp. old-school goth like Death in June, Legendary Pink Dots, Current 93, the Swans, etc. -- rules.

Emos cut, Goths do but
not always. Goths do it for fashion, Emos are whiny and wear tight pants.

A gothic person is usually punk people.
They wear you know the usual,
earrings-BLACK,Clothes-BLACK, and other jewelery.
Emo people are usually the ones who are alone,
they are also ususally depressed.
Personally I don't hang out with either but does not mean I am not friends with them.

Have a great day!!
Best I could do!

Gothic- wears all black, heavy metal, only hangs with their kind, quiet, sometimes cuts, that kind of thing. They are not emotional like the emos

Goth is a bandwagon style. Yeah, the music is great, but the look is a cry for attention and comparison.

Emo is pure-self. You do what YOU want for YOURSELF.
