I know in school I was called goth but that was a long time ago. But as for saying they are all spoiled and think their parents hate them but who puts out for all that EXPENSIVE clothes and yes it is expensive , but 1 never thought my parents hated me they are and were amazing, but also werent there a lot because they were the chief and asst chief of the local fire dept and were paramedics mom later teaching most of the emt and medic classes in our county , and to support us worked at multiple departments near us at one point they had 3 jobs each.
But it wasnt to buy me all those expensive clothes because 2 I started babysitting in 4th grade and by 6th grade had my first legit job and in 7th grade was working 3 legit job illegally because I got away with it by not having to have a job permit for 1 and my main job at an after school latchkey daycare program that my moms best friend owned but I worked my ass off and kept up my grades, was in band, color guard, editor for school paper, youth as resources and student council in jr high but not high school and worked at least 2 jobs throughout all of school sometimes 3 plus babysitting on the side, sometimes I had 3 or 4 things after school to do, but i worked for all my gas, spending money, clothes money, ect.
Even with my parents working as much as they did fire fighter and EMTs and paramedics dont make near enough money for risking their lives and what they have to put their families through, with both of mine doing it when we were little we were basically raised by my parents and 3 other nearby family friends who were practically family and still are to this day, and then by 4th or 5th grade I took on raising my younger sister most of the time and even she will tell you that.
If they got a run in the middle of the night we no longer had to go to or have these family friends come over, I would be woken up and told quickly they had to leave and I had to stay awake to listen for smoke detectors or my sister or something else happening, and then still had to go to school the next day exhausted and have my multiple things to do every day after school and 1 of my jobs I often traded with ppl who wanted to get off work earlier and I illegally worked later than I should have at 16 to 1 or 2 am on a school night.
So dont lump every single one of us into the spoiled rich kids whose parents bought and gave them everything because I can tell you that for me that wasnt the case and also for most of my friend group in school with maybe a few exceptions. But most of us were definitely not having everything bought for us.
And talking Tripp and another pants being expensive at bucks…. Gothics: Wear black cloths, black and white makeup, black hair, long hair, listen to gothic, black metal, etc. Emos: Copy gothic clothing but with tight clothing and some red clothing instead, red makeup, red hair, short spiked hair, cut themselves, listen to pussy music, etc.
Emos are more for solitude and the depression is a little obvious with them. When I sat with the goth group one day, they were talkative and really nice.
The show a sense of pride toward who they are. Goth for them is mostly just what they love in culture and feel most comfortable with. When I spent the day with an Emo Again, solitude based they were distant and had a lot of shame for who they are. Goth and Emo is not only a type of person but a style. And truth is there are different kinds of gothic stuff, gothic can just mean you like black!
Also, gothic not always a way of life or a perspective of the world, it is sometimes just liking black! Many people today mix up gothic and religious gothic but you must recognize the difference cause they are completely different! Emo is a type of style, and music. NOT a mental issue No offence, but if your cutting it is an issue. Please get help… , or a problem. So please before you post something do research and think about what your posting.
This is great! There has been however a band Cromagnon that released an album in that is now considered Industrial. This is a very interesting post, and it is a good way to educate the ignorance of American youth. The characteristics of goth rock include heavy, prominent lead bass; jangly, flanging, atmospheric and minimalistic guitars; reverb; synthesizers; romantic, tongue-in-cheek and introspective lyrics; baritone or overly high pitched vocals; repetitie post punk drum beat, drum machine or tribal drums and sinister 80s keyboards in minor key.
I personally wear a mix of the two as well as punk. A lot of parents tend to misunderstand their darkly dressed children and can actually be quite cruel to them.
Trust me, I know from personal experience. True, there are some people who do it for attention but everyone is different. Hey,cool that means there is actually such thing as a mix between the 2 I always thought I was kinda like both. Also, there are many types of Goths but only one kind of Emo. Goths can be further divided into Victorian Goths; these are the Goths who get there style and personality straight from the Renaissance or dark ages, Emo Goths; these are the Goths who are more Emo in both style and personality yet has a more Gothic demeanor or approach, Punks Goth; these are the ones who as mentioned before wear more flaring clothing, and Mixed Goths; these are the ones whose style usually varies depending on mood or random choice.
They enjoy being themselves yet at the same time lack the pride of Goths and still secretly wish they were someone else. And as for me, if you were wondering, I am a Victorian Goth. Never seen a more inaccurate description. Period fashion is not goth. Period no pun intended. The subculture is continued by goths going to see their favourite goth bands, buying their merch and listening to their CDs.
I will not leave an overly long response as what I have to say is quite simple. This article, in my opinion, is completely biased and overly incorrect. It in fact makes them sound incredibly similar, which is not true. Also, these two subcultures are not simply fashion statements and music but delve deeper into being ways of thinking and lifestyles.
Many people say that they are the same but they have many differences, as similarities. They feel it keeps them safe. Example some might worship Satan or some might worship another religious god. Emos and goths both write poetry.
You can be who ever you want to be as long as it makes YOU happy! You obviously are not goth making this blog. I however am. You see emos were spawned from the goth scene much in the way of how goth stemmed and spawned from the punk scene.
Where the diversity plays in here is that emos are pathetic and overly emotional. These are the kids or adults for that matter that need meds because it came from a few bipolar twats that were on the low side of a manic bipolar trip. Goths in essence will curb stomp emos. Well save for the cute emo girls that we might try to convert. Outside of that goth is a subculture. Emo is a fad. Emo is what you do when your life is too pathetic and you want attention. Since Goth music was seen to be darker and with a hint of violence involved, the followers based their appearance and behaviour to suit the lifestyle.
In regards to appearance, we see fetish wear with Victorian and steampunk fashions, alongside sportcoats, tight pants, corsets and lace petticoats. But there were still other elements in goth music that made it fascinating to so many, such as drawing in elements of fantasy, literature, and even from the supernatural. The goth culture did not revolve around anything childish , so the key demographic here consisted of adults more than teenagers. Both the emo and goth subcultures have grown and died over the last couple of decades, but there is still a substantial fan following to this day.
Even when it came to their appearance, emos preferred to wear darker clothing with a lot of accessories and unique hairstyles, while goth fans followed Victorian and steampunk style fashion. Each of these subcultures has shown their unique characteristics over the years and have amassed several followers as well.
