Emo is a very poor visual imitation of goth. That's it.

As my friend says:
 

[The War on Indifference]

Emo was a movement in Washington in the... early 90's, I want to say? at any rate, it's believed to have spawned indirectly from punk.
Goth was a trend that came almost directly from punk. in the early years, it was called "new age punk" or "postpunk"

So, emo isn't goth's b*****d child so much as it's soft cousin. Now, the powerpop crap that hottopic kids call "emo"... well, for all I know, it crawled out from under a rock.  

[Mrs. Pink Eyes]

Emo came from punk, like goth did. So they are related, but still rather different.

I'm backing Sin_through_Existence, she's on it.

Goths and Emos are like Spain and Mexico. Far back ties, but please do not associate.

So where did "scene" come from then? Or is it really the same thing as emo? I dont know anymore... confused

To me scene is just a happy colorful version of emo...

I believe that both happiness and colour have negative values here.

Scence is that stuff you see at hot topic and the pure fashion aspect of what "emo" is considered. Like the teased hair, side bangs, skinny jeans, extreme make-up, etc. The kids that are scene are poor imitations of emos.

The emo genre in itself is a dead genre just like hip-hop, grunge, or punk music, the real stuff mind you. Emo was formed straight from punk music and was more underground. The difference was that emo wasn't as angry and focused on more anarchy like movements. Emo was more about being nostalgic, reflective, and knowing who you were and being able to express that. Which is why emo really is a state of mind and music genre. Its not about being depressed and cutting those are just sterotypes. There is one for every sub-culture.

As my friend says:

Is that a really ugly male or a really ugly woman with facial hair issues? gonk

On another note, the goth would be prettier without the black lipstick.

Punk isnt dead it just sucks at the moment. and grunge may be dead in mainstream but just go indie and you will see its alive and well.
