Toasterladd there are WAY more emos than goth. and, im glad so many ppl here know what REAL emo is. im a half half myself. but, the largest diffrence is the mindset. goths-intulectual, spiritual, not as true emotional. Emo- sad, depressed, and usuallysemi self centered. most emos nowadays are posuer emos, its hard to find real ones like me. cutting is used by both though, so dont be too confused on that one.
You don't really seem to know what you're talking about either.
The real goth culture is FAR larger than the real emo culture. The fake goth culture, at this time, is smaller than the fake emo culture.
Real Emo - An abbreviation for emotive hardcore, a subgenre of hardcore punk developed in mid-80's Washington DC. Major groups include Rites of Spring, Moss Icon, Jawbreaker, and pg. 99. The term emo can also refer to the small subculture around it, which mostly died out in the 80's. The culture was very similar to the hardcore punk culture: aggressive, intense, and very idealogical.
Fake Emo - "Emotional" teenagers who claim to be depressed and cut themselves. The fake emo culture is all about whining, swooshy hair, square-frame glasses, eyeliner, gauged ears, messenger bags, girl's pants, and Vans' shoes. Bands listened to in the fake emo culture include Hawthorne Heights, Fall Out Boy, Cute is What We Aim For, Bright Eyes, Aiden, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Such bands tend to be either post-hardcore or pop-rock.

I'll admit, I can be annoying when I correct people. So I've been trying to do it less lately...
But the fact that you put cutting in there... erm... I really don't think it's acceptable at all.
Cutting is neither part of the goth nor emo culture.
Mallcores and attention-seekers aside, I would imagine there are just as many prep, rap-fan, punk, etc. cutters as goth and emo cutters. _______________________
I agree with the music "opinion".
And, may I say, it's getting frustrating trying to explain it. My sister is trying to explain to me why Fall Out Boy is both punk and emo, because everybody says they are.
Apparently, through all the-- well, information-hunting/research I've done online and, in books, (albeit less than some people here), I've missed the fact that genres are actually subjective, and have no real specifications. rolleyes
I believe there is a goth culture and subculture, but that it is only slowly (or quicker than some would like to think) being invaded by all the NINies, Mansonites, and Evanescence fans. :S
Goth = Goth Rock, Death Rock, Darkwave, Ethereal, Dark Cabaret
Emo = Emotive Hardcore

-Resurrected Writer- Well if this helps you at all, The basic foundation of goth is listening to bands like: Bauhaus Joy Division Siouxsie and the Banshees Sex Gang Children The Cure Cinema Strange Christian Death Switchblade Symphony The Cruxshadows Voltaire and having an interest in/being involved in the goth community. The basic foundation of emo is listening to bands like: Rites of Spring City of Caterpillar Embrace Moss Icon Heroin Jimmy Eat World (some of their stuff, though most of it is pop rock) Cap'n Jazz and beyond that, I don't know if there is such thing as an emo community. As for personalities, a lot of goths tend to appreciate darker, misunderstood, or deep ideals of life - death, romance, and other various philosophies. They also tend to be pretty creative, and believe-it-or-not, a lot of goths are actually happier than most "normal" people (probably because we feel very accepted within each other) The emo personality I'm not quite as sure of, as well. My best bet for that is that they are much more at ease with conveying their feelings (the whole range, not just angst) than most people. Also - like goths - emo is a very introverted style of music, which separates it from the extroverted, aggressive world of punk rock which it sprang from. All true, as long as you keep in mind that the music is ONLY a foundation. That yes, goths, emos, and other such cultures/subcultures (like how I'm a juggalo), were started through music, but the music only creates a drive and originality and not the soul purpose of that group.
