- What are the differences between goth and emo?
Both goth and emo may be subculture dark alternative styles. But goths are not just dressing up like vampires or Wednesday Addams. And emo kids are not just angsty teenagers who shop at Hot Topic.
We will explore the differences between goth and emo scenes in terms of music, bands, clothing, and culture. We will also talk about a brief history of the goth scene and what truly considered emo.
So, you might also find out if you're more goth, emo, or a bit of both with this simple breakdown of the unique aspects of these scenes as well!

It's so funny to always hear how people think goths are rude while most of them are so incredibly sweet. Especially older goths always help baby bats (people who just started to join the scene) to find their place. Love your videos! 🖤
Fr. Goths are the most constantly gentle people I've met.
All groups have bad people

I know this yet the trad goth girlys still scare me
I’m a baby myself and I just got into the goth community yesterday and so far this has lessened my mental health and I’m proud to within it
Turns out I'm a goth in everything but fashion. When I was a teen, I wanted to drees like a goth but my parents didn't let me. So knowing that I am one after all, it's pretty nice.
I'm working on u tub vido on my u tub chanal Greek vampy on were emo evolved from & were goth evolved from
Your artstyle is a combination of cute and goth its so pleasing to see
As a teen I never really got to explore my own identity. I had to subscribe to the hegemony of the rural community. My music was my parents’ music, but when I moved out in my own I began to discover my own identity and have been gravitating towards active nihilism and finding place within the emo/goth genre of music and life.
This is going to save a lot of time for a lot of people.
Very interesting and important subject. Thank you for covering it🖤
Recently I've been trying out new styles and what speaks to me, goth and emo for so long have been what I have tried to avoid identifying as and I wouldn't consider myself as one. I really love the goth style and recently, I've been just diving and falling into the rabbit hole abt goth culture. I never knew some of the bands I enjoyed listening to would be considered goth or emo, I can't consider myself to be fully either just because I listen to the smidgen of those bands and dress goth-like from time to time. To me, it's kinda like a commitment to that lifestyle which is why I had such a hard time seeing myself, identifying as one wouldn't just doesn't feel right either. I just wanted to share this cuz this channel is really helpful and educational abt this topic :)
On a separate not, I stick to trying new things out and see which one I feel fits the most and just enjoy expressing myself in different ways instead of just sticking to one way.
finally - i think this video was needed
Oh to have been a goth in the early 80s in the UK 😩🦇
To have been a warlock a 1000 years ago pumping up Vikings for a raid into lands that they had never been in before and raided 🕶️
Bela Lugosi's Dead was released in 1979.
Ah...yes. Thank you for pointing that out. I think I mixed it up with the released year of Press the Eject and Give Me the Tape. Again, thank you so much 🙏
Right. And in 1983 The film “the Hunger“ opened with Bella Lugosi’s Dead, which was mainstreams first taste of Goth.
The Batcave club opened in 1982 for a burgeoning Gothic scene.
Thank you, I found this video very useful. I'll look into the bands you recommended for both genres.
You know the difference between goths and emo 🖤? Goths have “No time to cry”
From someone who was and sill be active in emo, goth, Metal and Punk i can for surely say you can listen to all kind of music, surely you can Identify more with one of these subgenres and also can't identify as none of those and still listen to all kind of music. You can also be a mix, I always tried to mix some themes of the fashion styles.
Because my mind always switches between doing a deep dive in one or multiple of the these subcultures, I stopped declaring myself as one of these subcultures (Even through Goth is still the one i listen most to besides my all time favorite Bands)
P.S. Thank you for mentioning Fields of Nephilim, it's a fantastic goth Band which isn't mentioned often enough in my eyes
AFI, MCR, the Used and Panic are actually examples of "scene bands". Scene kids are more in line with glam rock acts like David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust phase and are usually more outgoing and cheerful than their Goth and emo cousins.
I wouldn’t say scene kids are more in line with Glamrock, than Emo culture, but they are definitely the Glam branch.
Fairy Goths, pastel Goths, and cyberpunks are also brighter shinier cousins.
No I understand why you think that but if you research it scene music is genres like crunkcore, metalcore, deathcore and crabcore scene is more related to metal and punk then emo
Bela Lugosi's Dead was released in 1979
the late 1900s... kills me
I'm a mix of both. Even though I knew all of this already I just love watching and reading up on it regularly and reading comments. Your art is amazing btw.
Thank you for shouting out The Birthday Massacre! Love that band to death.
The only thing that we could probably compare both too with actually in the smallest way possible is that they both came from a music scene and then slowly drifted away from just in styles alone now with subverted music etc.
Then again some have tried to bring things back to it's roots mainly.
This video is very helpful. I'm a goth who likes both emo and goth music. 🖤🦇
In that case I'm kind of this weird hybrid of Emo and Goth. Although specifically I've been more into Visual Kei, specifically Malice Mizer and Kamijo. But also Candy Spooky Theatre is kind of a guilty pleasure. I found them when I wanted to see how Visual Kei interpreted Cabaret, sense here in US we have Dark Cabaret.
I do sometimes get lumped in with Black Metal. But other than the long hair, I don't really see the resemblance. I would have hair more like my illustration, but I don't really have the hair type for it. I was trying to imagine what a specific subset of Gothic Hippy might be like.
Color palette is a bit complicated, as I used to mainly use baby blue, monocromatic grey, nordic green, and red. Combining red and lime green would give you a shade of blond hair. And sometimes I'm not against using lighter shades of suede.
Nice... thx for this. 🎉
Mephisto waltz is a song from the band, mephisto walz
Gee...Just realised I misspelt the band's name in the vid. Thanks for bringing this up 🖤
I came because of that one South Park episode
SAME IM TRYING TO FIND IT
@@D1MONDZ if you're looking for the first episode the goth kids were in, it's S07E14 "Raisins" Such a good episode! (both the goth kids and Butters' story lines) It doesn't fit me currently, but I have a shirt that has the goth kids and Stan and says his quote "what's the point in caring if all it brings is pain." Of course I would wear that when I was depressed lol
Yeah same here 🙂 That's a great episode. It's very funny an witty on how it shows how Goth, emo an Vamp kids are kinda different but they all dress the same in black an the very funny an clever joke of how Stan was told, that to be a free thinking individual like the goths, to be free an creative that Stan had to act an dress like them, that jokes very witty an funny, it explains about how not to follow any trend or group but rather to actually be your own free thinking individual, to think for yourself an be yourself that your not actually labelled as anything, it means just be you. Just be yourself.
I'm an artist who doesn't know if their favourite character is a goth or emo. This video helped me understand between a lot better, thank you so much 🖤🖤🖤
Could've just played the clip of the Goth kids from South Park explaining the difference 😂
Perfect video 🖤🫀
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@kjrasaAs always ♥
I also know, some hairstyles are different. Like emo is more flat hair. And Gothic is more fluffy hair. Like I'm Gothic, but my hair most of the time is really fluffy. And that messy look.
What about the e-girl and e-boy fashion and music scene? It has more revealing clothing, shaved heads, polo shirts, chinos, ear stretchers and slaps both goth and emo subcultures together. It also branches out into metal and hip hop, something that became a thing in 2006 and made someone like me interested at the grand old age of 15.
Tbh Goth is 80s Gen X stuff from my parents' day and Emo is 21st century social media subculture for Millennials and zoomers. Emo is more street and normie in its appearance, with more worn out clothes compared to Goth's more polished, edgy and dark aesthetic. Old school emo fashion was, well, normal looking. 3rd wave emo was sort of a glam rock/goth fashion revival. Great video.
They're just bringing some aesthetics of those two subcultures back, no real relation in my opinion. Also, goth was still very much alive in millennial days.
@@Lilliathi Goth is very much alive TODAY. We have five Goth clubs in my city, and there are more new Goths bands today than there were in the 80s and 90s. Twin Tribes, Forever Grey, The Ghost of Bela Lugosi, Lebanon Hanover, SRSQ, Boy Harsher, Rosegarden Funeral Party, Male Tears, Actors, Scary Black, DARK, and many more. Even The Cure, Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode have new albums out and have been touring. The Goth scene is huge. I am a DJ.
@@thiscorrosion3843
I dunno, feels like a nostalgia rehash to me.
Goth music - The Cure, Bauhaus, Rosetta Stone, etc.
Emo music - My Chemical Romance, Blink-182, Bullet For My Valentine, etc.
(I hate Emo music)
Type O negative was Goth metal. Pure goth was Sisters of Mercy.
That’s Pop Emo, Emotional Hardcore would be a better comparison
@@imago9059 exactly! type o negative is widely considered a band thats well known in the goth community, but its really gothic metal. sisters of mercy, esoecially the first album, is anout the most goth sound i can think of lmao
Type O Negative are not Goth, poser.
@@thiscorrosion3843 type o negative is gothic metal. and no one likes the goth police cmon man, goths shouldn't call people posers
what's a Goth/Emo Hybrid?
❤
I like both. I'm more into emo music, but I like some goth music too. However, when it comes to fashion, I prefer gothic. When it comes to music, I prefer emo. Like gothics, I also appreciate the darkness and see beauty in it and like emos I love emotional expression in clothing and lyrics. Despite all this, I don't have a specific way of dressing. I may dress gothic, pastel goth, cosplay, dress in fandom, or dress frilly and cutsie. I have a large range and I love to surprise. My fashions don't really tell my music unless I'm wearing a shirt of it.
Emo doesn’t have a look, anyone who thinks that is only a Scene who likes Emo music. It’s a music based subculture, and doesn’t have a dress code, cause it’s from punk which doesn’t have a dress code. Most kids who dress like that are posers who think stuff like Green Day counts as Emo, just a heads up.
Subcultures from the late nineteenhundreds???
I’m just a Goth kid that would do an emo phase so I have a lot of pop punk and Goth memorabilia
I'm emo I have been since I was 15 (2019) I'm now 22
I'm not even goth, but i do listen to tons of gothic rock and proto goth. I love this subculture though
The music I listen to is definitely more emo but man, my style is like somewhere in between, idk, like, I feel that makes it more personal in a way, rather then just dressing emo or dressing goth, cause I dress in a way to express myself and enjoy that, idk maybe I’m just weird
As an elder emo (I'm in my 30s), I started out attracted by the goth style of the spectrum, as a kid I really liked horror and gothic themes pretty early on, and this was prior the 00s emo resurgence so goth was the closest darkest subculture to recognize with, but in my teens and early 20s, I strongly gravitated into emo music, ergo, style, but kept goth style items like lace and corsets. So I think is pretty natural to gravitate towards both. Imagine my pleasure when dark academia came into the style scene and now I could also have the bookish style of my nerdy/academic self reflected on an aesthetic (it also makes a good office style!) xD. You´re not alone.
saspairia though 😫
i was born goth i was born the same year goth if goth was born in 1982 and i was born in 1982 so i was born goth
Love them emos
Thank you because I can show this to most normies who ask or say such ridiculous things now.
I always wonder where the 80s / 90s band '' The Jesus an Mary Chain '' stand now between the 2 subcultures. 🤔
3:57 MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE MENTIONED
i honestly got here because of a south park video
I think there's a weird correlation between these two subcultures cause emotional hardcore/post- hardcore/pop punk music and gothic rock/darkwave music wouldn't exist if post-punk wasn't a thing. It's like both subcultures derive from the same place if you think about it. I love all these genres and listen to a ton of artists, however my fashion style is more like "2014 tumblr grunge" than emo or goth.
I am a Emo-Goth
... Im a mess lmao Im literally everything on both sides 😂 oml
yeah, I was so EMO. Now I'm an elder emo who looks almost like any millenial out there but in black xD xoXO rawr! ;)
South park took me here 😂😂
Both crave attention.
Goth girls: female
Emo girls: female?
why don't you do geek & nerd next? jk. or should it be 'nerd & geek'? lol
A big difference between Goth and Emo is that people can be Goth their whole life. How often do you see 60 year old Emos?
"oh my god emo's are such wannabe conformists"
Edgar Allen Poe
I hate when people mix these up, they look different to me lol
Haters gonna hate... I actually have no problems with goths or emos, in truth I dig both their styles but more importantly is the that they're unique with the style both sides bring to the world keeps things interesting.
Goths rule 🖤 Goths are blasee while emos are looking for attention. Goths don't want to be seen or bothered. Emos. Seek to be seen. Btw The Doors were not goth.
Oh s*** here we go again posers, the emo and goth subculture a different about the music and fashion taste will Goth also put emotion in it but it's also relaxing what the other hand emo is something different more Gitarre riffs harsh.
Something I've noticed in a couple of your vids so far is how you say these subcultures are music based and you have to listen to the music to consider yourself so... but you can wear the fashion and not be within the subcultures... doesn't that make someone a poser ? Why not embrace the culture if you're gonna dress like people within it ? Isn't that why we dress the way we do ? To connect with others like us since we're hard to find as is ? I can understand not neccesarily dressing a certain way and listening to the music as a valid way to "abel" yourself as such but not the other way around... it just gives fake.
So Avril Lavigne is emo🤔
Pop Punk, Emo doesn’t have a dress code
OK no emo came un 2003 to 2004 emotional hard was not a thing in the 80s thrash was thing emoshinal hard core came in 2006 arund the time when most skaters parks were destroyed by polititions & big curupted business it's still happening in 2024
So their different but their coming from the same place! Goth and Emo are not that different!!! Most people that were emo ended up becoming goth or metal heads over time or they stop dressing in those styles completely. At least that what I have seen. Like I said it's not so different from the other.
It's mostly a generational thing I think. Obviously since Goth was first, it influenced emo...so you could say emo is a sub-branch of Goth.
Emo in 2010s
same sht
Thank you for the video you did a nice job on it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Personally I think if Goths back in the day would have helped so-called baby bats better. By stopping all of the elitism & gatekeeping we wouldn't have so many different subcultures as we do now.
What do you mean by gatekeeping?
@@truffeltroll6668 Well before the internet became widely available in the early & mid 90s you actually had to find & research bands across the country & world in magazines, books or listening to the radio. Ignorant people in the goth scene back then used to hold information over people's heads. Then made fun of them for not knowing the band they found last week just to feel somewhat superior. Personally I never did that I liked helping people get into the subculture however I did take pleasure in making fun of those elitist & gatekeepers.
@@-RONNIE what the fuck.
Thank god we have the internet for that.
It's really easy to know what's goth and what isn't today
@@truffeltroll6668 Yeah it's so easier for people after the mid 90s to get information now days they take it for granted. I don't know if you know this other RUclipsr Angela Benedict - she has a whole a lot of videos on this subject.
@@aaof-d-mio-fv2fb It doesn't matter what people, groups or subcultures whatever you want to call it - everybody imitates everyone or someone to a point that's how things evolve later
Goths want to be left alone to be alone or with like-minded others.
Emo's want to be right up in your face w/ their Emo-ness. In my experience. Such a lame conformist movement.
So basically the South Park explanation then: Goths are nihilistic and Emos are cynical.
Can only understand 50% of what you are saying. You need to work on pronunciation and projection.
I don't know, I understood everything she said. I think her english is very good.
