Goth/Emo??? what? really? i dont dress in black or do anything crazy actually i have a few popular friends but i hardly hang with them..idk..
I got Goth/Emo. I guess so, but no one picks on me cause they now I got weapons.
And while it may seem hypocritical to pull the stereotype card, you have to understand that goth culture has an established intellectual origin which is why I can defend it. But emo is just a bunch of kids spilling their guts in their music. For the benefit of the doubt, I even googled "emo art" to maybe establish an art basis...but it's just a ... Read Morebunch of kids ripping their bloody hearts out of their chests and giving it to their love interests. You could argue that that is gothic, an example of beauty vs. macabre, but it's just so stylized to conform with mainstream fashion that it just reeks of unoriginality. The majority of the culture seems to be based on the superficiality of looking the part, while of course they have to do a substantial amount of acting victimized to represent the ideal stereotype.
Lets get educated, KIDS. I take offense to "goth" (subculture) holding the negative context. Authentic (keyword) Goths promote a macabre image in order to protest the absurdity of social norms. Simply put, it's bascially an art form. (Which also means they have to ... Read Moredo something artist rather than just walk around looking like one because that defeats the purpose) It's like with neoromanticism and Wuthering Heights displaying concepts like "a beautiful death". Paradox? Not necessarily. It's debating society's standards for aesthetic and the partition of what is considered beautiful and ugly, etc. Nightmare Before Christmas is a perfect example because it compares the absurd, Halloween, with an accepted social norm, Christmas. Same with the name "Marilyn Manson". Marilyn Monroe, the standard for beauty, Charles Manson, the absurd.
It would be ignorant to associate it with a religious concept because by definition the image of the crucifixion of Jesus is considered "gothic" because it displays both the morbid and, in context, the beautiful. Therefore, religious affiliation/politic s within the culture is a matter personal conscience. To have an unbiased view on aesthetics one ... Read Morewould have to be creative, and if creativity is associated with intelligence then ohmygod... intellectuals? So before we start saying that goths are satan-worshipping heathens who eat bats, snack on babies, and do nothing but look depressed and dress like albinos at a funeral, perhaps we should do our research.
And for the record, Marilyn Manson made Bill O'Reilly look like a complete jackass. Youtube it.
Well, "emo" is a really young culture (80s?), unlike "goth", so that in itself makes it more difficult to define. It's mainstream now which means its definition is constantly being redefined. First off, Emo obviously originated as a music genre, while Goth originated as an art/literature/... Read Morepoetry, etc. genre.
Take this next part more as an educated opinion
OMG that is soooo true! I'm triple hott! ewwww emo's are WEIRD! How can somebody not like shopping? Everyday after school me Jessy and Rebecca go out Shopping! We spend like $600 a day! And i saw this girl and she was in pumpkin patch. can you believe it pumpkin patch! And so we taught her, her lesson!
I don't really caer about stereo types and or cliques I just take these quizzes for kicks so I guess I could be considered normal so not to offend anyone this quiz was just for fun so please don't take offense on the descriptions even if they seem wrong.
I love shopping!!!!and im popular and i cant help it and a really hot guy cant help that he likes me so much!!!!! haha xoxo no really he cant help it its kinda creppy but so cute .preps are so coool unlike emos who like to rot in hell emos whatever they are need to get a life baby why dont you have some fun like me haha hehe xoxo thats hot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow they said i was emo : o i dont even have black shirts or funky hair or whatever they wear....
I'm Normal.... But I had a lot of freinds in high school o>O
Btw to all you little gay emo kids, you will stop being emo once your outta high school if you wanna work somewhere besides Hot Topic.
girly/prep. well yeaah i am a cheerleader, and i do wear expensive clothes, and i love shopping im always happy... but that doesn't mean im girly right? hahaha
geek/nerd
You spelt Metallica wrong
Okay goths and emos are NOT the same...don't group them together. And the description wasn't that accurate. I don't get picked on and neither dobmy friends. We pick on other people. Not in a really mean way though cuz we're sort of good people...I guess...oh yeah I got emo.
i think every1 (whether ur a jock/prep or emo/rocker) should not use stereotypes. on this quiz i got emo and yeah i dress in vests, converse, & skinny jeans. i also love rock that all i listen 2, but im also a cheerleader at my school. me and my friends don't stick to the status quo. (and no im not quotin frm HSM) I hav friends dat r preps, geeks, and emos. my bff group consists of 2 emos, 1 ghetto, 2 jocks, 1 prissy legally blonde type, and 1 tomboy. i hate it when people judge me btw i dress, bc i believe in being urself and dressing the way u wanna. so all the preps hatin on the emos...get to kno them b4 u judge, they will probley b nicer n less backstabbing than some of ur jock friends. n to the emos...ik how u feel jus wait it out n ur time will come 2 shine. jus kno dat they r jealous cuz they cant b theirself. (haha uk dat da preps r jealous when u [an emo] come into skool wearing somethin n then 2 weeks l8r all the preps r jackin ur trends =].
Nerd all the way.
Btw, I always feel on top of the world, but never do I feel optomistic. Must be some new s--- they came up with in the last 2-3 years.

wow....alot of ppl got punk/emo. So did i! Emos rock cause there so damn awesome =] Yeah i really dont like those preps either.. =P
