Goth Clothes are Defined by Black

goth clothes
The difference between emo clothes and goth clothes is sometimes slight. However, know that goth clothes are defined by the color of black. Regardless of what other colors may be involved in the ensemble, goth clothes are centered by a consistent movement towards black in some form or fashion. You will be hard-pressed to find any true goth wearing an outfit without black in some form or fashion.

Think of it not as the only factor, but simply the defining factor. It is not that goth clothing does not possess an array of other, different kinds of colors, however, goth clothes simply are anchored in color by black.

Emo Clothes Start with the Stockings

emo clothes

One of the most defining features that you will find in emo clothes is the stockings. Those long red, black, or whatever colored stockings have definitely made a major move into the mainstream styles of today. This is an emo fashion statement. Girls wear long stockings. That is simply how it works.

Emo clothes also has a fascination with tighter pants. Guys just wear several different kinds of tight pants or form fitting pants (some of which are actually female sizes) and this too is a part of the changing world of fashion. It is part of the emo craze because somehow it expresses their emotions as well.

Evanescence: Goth Band?

goth band

There has been much argument over whether or not Evanescence is or is not a goth band. By appearance they do look like a goth band. They have the make up, the dark clothes, all the physical markings that usually accompany goth band status. At the same time, they have the sound of a goth band. Their music is haunting, dark, and intoxicating.

However, there are many goth band purists out there that simply do not accept Evanescence as a real goth band. Perhaps it is because they have become so mainstream, a very non-goth band attribute, or perhaps it is because the content of their songs do not mirror what goth bands usually play about.

Emo Band: Dashboard Confessionals Leads the Way

emo band

There has been a new influx into the music scene within the last five years and it is known as the Emo band revolution. There have been so many different emo bands that have appeared that few can keep accurate count of all of them. However, the one that leads the way above all the other emo bands is Dashboard Confessionals.

They have long been at the top of the charts with their emotional songs and their tearful lyrics and many would argue that it was they that started this emo band revolution. Their music inspired kids to write out their feelings and whatnot in a way that no other musical style has ever accomplished.

Top 10 Reasons why Goth is Better than Emo can be Summed Up more Easily

top 10 reasons why goth is better than emo
I was planning, originally, to give you a list of the top 10 reasons why goth is better than emo. However, in my studies and searches I have discovered that really everything can be summed up by simply showing a single character: Batman.

Batman is definitely and unmistakably a gothic kind of a character. Some may argue that his past and history made him emo in a sense (in that he was very broken up about the death of his parents for a very long time) however, if you consider his choice of symbol, mode of dress, and general character, it is clear and obvious that Batman is gothic and that alone is reason enough to say that goth is better.

Punky clothes, goth rave trendy emo are generally considered and recognized as some of the newest and freshest looks that you can have. They have become a fashion staple in high schools and junior highs around the world and few schools can be found without at least one of two students donning such clothing.

Emo Bands
The term emo has become a more widely accepted term these days. They define the people that are very emotional or have had their hearts broken. They display themselves as very dark and sad people that wish life were more cheerful. Along with the way they are and the way they act, there is also a certain type of music that corresponds with the type of people they are.

Emo bands like Dashboard Confessional and Taking Back Sunday are emo bands that basically play music that relates to the lives of your everyday emo person. By singing about lovesick past relationships, these bands appeal to the emo population directly.
