Whats The Differnce Between Emos and Goths?

People have lots of different view on goths and emo’s some people believe it’s all stereotypical and others believe they are just sad depressed freaks, But are these opinions correct are they just normal people that dress to a certain style or do they really hate themselves and the world? I’ll do my best to answer this in the following article.

First of we’ll start with Goths or Gothic which means “dark”, well they dress in black clothes black lipstick eyeliner piercings and such and usually have black, purple or some other dark hair colour. Although it is stereotype to think that goths are depressed and sad losers this is quiet often not the case. They will normally appear emotionless or gloomy but this doesn’t mean they are depressed.

 Most often you will see goths keep to themselves and hang around by themselves or in a gang with other goths.Some people think goths are hard ass, well i suppose this may be the case sometimes but goths are normally more to themselves. Some people also dress goth because they think of it as art its away of showing themselves for who they really are. Others use it to mask their true feelings or just for a “mask” to hide behind. But for most Goths they don’t actually care what other people think of them they just are that style of person that suites goth and they are happy with it and probably just want everyone else to leave them alone.

Emo’s or emotionals, they are very similar in some ways to goths and very different in others. Emo’s dress the same as goths black cloths eyeliner lipstick black hair etc. anything that will make them look depressed and sad. Most of the time emo’s are people looking for attention the complete opposite to goths they act very depresses they act very emotional. Also they act as if they hate the world, themselves and it would be better if they weren’t there. If they actually do feel this way depends on the person. Emo’s crave the idea of other people feeling sorry for them they like the attention.

Now some emo’s are sad don’t like there life and don’t have many if any friends but its the self harming emo’s that give “emo’s” the bad name. People who cut the wrists legs to make them feel better about themselves this is just plain stupid and sad. Then people take it to the next level when they feel so depressed that they commit suicide and even convince others to do it as well saying such stuff as its for the best, the worlds better of without us, they all hate us. They think they are that much of a burden and that useless that they aren’t worth being on the earth.

Just remember if someone’s wearing all black or seem depressed they might just be having a bad day which we all have or they could be standing up for something wearing black to show something. Don’t just presume “ohhh that guys emo or he’s goth” just because they are by themselves and look sad, gloomy or upset too many people get the stereotype into their head and then anyone that fits the stereotype the instantly presume is emo or goth.

My advice either talk to them you never know they might be a nice person even if they are goth or emo, or if you don’t want to get involved just stay away just don’t get involved and you don’t have anything to worry about.
