noreply@blogger.com (JDub) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 22:35:00 +0000

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.

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?

noreply@blogger.com (JDub) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:25:00 +0000

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.

There has been a new influx into the music scene within the last five years and it is known as the Emo band revolution.

However, the one that leads the way above all the other emo bands is Dashboard Confessionals.

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

noreply@blogger.com (JDub) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 04:35:00 +0000

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.

In the last post I talked a lot about the fashion trend that is the punky clothes, goth emo trendy rave fashion and how it had moved further and further into the mainstream. However, these clothes have a deeper intrinsic meaning behind them as well. They are not simply clothes to be worn and a fashion to be had, but a statement.

Really, that is what the punk, goth, emo movement is all about: making a statement. The statement is a movement away from the norm, from what is generally accepted, and being different from what the world expects you to be.

The thing that most firmly defines the subcultures of Goth and emo is their music. Goth emo music each has its own distinct and individual flavor. Many times those unknowing few who clump the two together will say that these musical types are the same but nothing in the world could be further from the truth.

noreply@blogger.com (JDub) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:01:00 +0000

The world used to be such a simpler place. In the past, the place to display our individualism and our own sense of understanding and worth and personality and identity was through creation of artwork and sculpture and any other such figure.

Today, the place for our individualistic sides to scream out is online and through the internet. Thus, layouts and whatnot are our new art to display ourselves. Emo and goth layouts, therefore, provide an outlet and expression for who we are and become an art of a new age.

The problem with our society is that we often classify, stereotype, and group people together in unfair ways. Yes, punk goth emo do share some similarities as subgroups of the greater overall popular culture, but that does not make them the same. They each have distinct differences in what defines them.

The easiest way to see this is to simply look at the music that they listen to. Our music is often a definition or auditory display of who we are. Quite simply, punks listen to punk music, Goths listen to hard metal music, and emo kids listen to emo music. That is a generalization but it displays the differences therein.

noreply@blogger.com (JDub) — Wed, 28 May 2008 18:12:00 +0000

I know I have seemed to continually hash on this point, but it is still important to note that the emo and goth subcultures are two separate and distinct subgroups. There is, thus, a very real and very tangible difference between emo and goth. The simple difference is an absolute difference in ideology. They do not think the same and thus they are not the same.

Emo goth pictures clearly indicate the significant differences between these two subgroups of people within our contingent United States. First and foremost there is a difference in the use and adaptation of makeup. While many emo kids may utilize makeup in their general self-depiction, it is a necessity amongst the goth community.
