What do the terms "goths" and "emos" mean?

Question

I read an answer here in R&S which said that goths and emos come from religious families. What does this mean? I'm probably wrong, but I imagined goths were people like "Abby" on the TV show NCIS. I have no idea what emos are. I've been out of circulation for decades. Please bring me up to date.......

Answer 1

theres difference between goth and emo

Emo = emotional
goth = hard core emo

there are different types of goths Some goths are very very into things like Quigie boards and sayonces(or however you spell it) and they are int satanism.

Emo is like Dashboard confessional its more emotional than hard core Gothic


Gothic is different to different people.

Not many people can come up with just one conclusion of what it means

Answer 2

Emo means emotional. They like bands that express themselves in rather high pitched vocals, like Dashboard Confessional or Death Cab for Cutie is considered Emo music. Emo usually dress in darker colors, because they're upset about something and want to show it to the world. They can have unusual haircuts, a way of self expression and saying "I don't conform to your style."

Answer 3

Emo (music), a genre of rock music
Emo (slang), a slang term used to describe a wide range of fashion styles and attitudes somewhat affiliated with emo music

ROTFL sorry this is cute. :) Yeah Abby is pretty goth and emo.

Answer 6

"Shallow" virtually signifies that you pass judgement on persons on their look instead than their character and emotions. Example: Bob: "I'm best peers together with her considering she's sizzling." John: "You're so shallow."
