A band like The Cure, what would you consider them? Yes, I know they are about as popular of an example as there could be.Alpine Valley 2000
Summerfest 2006

(great band btw)
erm...i think so, they fit well into category, but i can't say for sure, i'm not a proper goth0 -
answers are fatal wrote:emo kids are depressed, they dress in tight clothing, sit in dark corners, and cut themselves while listening to crappy music.
while goths just try to portray an image of being into hardcore music and they try too hard to look gothic.
trust me on this- im still in high school i talk/see these people everyday.
its funny how they try to make there school uniforms look "gothic"I will be what i could be

hey at least they are not the sort of people who go around terrorising neigbourhood, and not the sort of people idolising rap and what it stands for ( i.e life of drug dealing, pimping and police hating )
they are just they sort of kids who like to fantasize about death, have interest in art, and depressed every now and again.0 -

Goth is older - it generally has older people who are within the lifestyle.
Emo is more a music/fashion genre for preteen and teens. It's like Goth for kids whose parents still check their wardrobe, and give them an allowance.
I was considered Goth-like and sometimes am still classified in that genre, most Goths have a more literary/artistic bend and tend to dislike overly popular clothing choices...for example Hot Topic is more for Emo and goth wannabe's than for Goths themselves.
if there is a question on a personal basis you should check with a very simple quiz:
Do they know who Robert Smith is?
Can they name a popular Hedonist?
Are they able to recite at least ONE Lord Byron poem?
What do they think of Absinthe?
if they fail at any of the above questions - they are prolly emo or a very young Goth...someone who still has a brightly painted bedroom, and does not suffer their existence on this mortal coil...IF YOU WANT A PLATE OF MY BEEF SWELLINGTON, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY THE COVERCHARGE.0 -

goths are people who like darkness, who are creative and truly troubled. who haven't fitted in with "normal" kids at the time of growing up
That's not really a huge problem.
The same could have and probably was said about grunge too.0 -

Erm...i wasn't saying there is a problem
i would disagree about grunge, grunge was listened by scruffy looking kids who used to wear cheked shirts and jeans. grunge is cool.0 -
