Description
Of course, the majority of Goths are unique in their style and music preferences. However, within the subculture there are certain "types" of Goth with particular characteristics. And it can be fun to classify them. Naturally, classifications for each "type" vary from person to person, so you may disagree with what I say here!I had a lot of reservations about doing this type - I know that Goths seem to hate being associated with Emos, and vica versa. But because I've had so many comments mentioning Emos, I thought that it really had to be done.
Sorry that this has been a long time in coming, and that it's drawn even sloppier than usual... I've been revising for and doing my university final exams for the past month, and I've only just had a break...

I like The Rasmus and MCR, I was goth when I was 15, but no more, and I like Emo style, but I am not sad everyday, and like Visual kei, but I don't want to be a radical japanese freak...
I think I am rare
Good job.

Gasp! Is this even possible? I think "emo goth" has got to be a contradiction. For one thing, emos actually care when they bitch and whine ^_-.

I love this series. And you've made me giggle yet again.
Lol, though I would half-expect a passing mention of razor blades as a fashion statement. This little movement has swamped my town. God.

Thank you very much!
As for the razor blades, I think that the issue of self-harm should not be approached lightly in art, particularly in something so whimsical as this series. It is a serious issue, and however prevalent it may be in the goth or emo scene, I do not want to somehow encourage people to start doing it by suggesting that a goth or emo "should" do it in order to be goth or emo.
Which is why it won't be mentioned in this series

I wasn't expecting this.. that's not a good, nor bad thing.
I can't hate emo. 90% of my friends are almost exactly as you've described, and how most everyone describes them.
Kudos to not mentioning the girl pants [on guys].
Unfortunately, there's not enough goth influence here for us to at least have gothy emos. We just get the normal kind.. because I live a few blocks from a hardcore/screamo/emo/sometimes punk music venue. I swear it's a breeding ground for them.

Hehe, I could have mentioned the girl pants, but it didn't seem to be specifically relevant to the gothy type emos (plus tight pants are harder to draw).

Thank you very much! Although as I've already found, associating Emos with Goths has been, inevitably, controversial (read some of the comments and you'll see what I mean!).
Thanks for being continually supportive!

You're most welcome, and I did read the comments... the Emos that I know personally wouldn't mind... although they do refer to the rest of us as "old school" 
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe, "old school..." Ironic, seeing as that seems to be a keyword in Emo culture.

Finally! I do really love this one, it's very touchy especially in the part *I have a belt like the chick on the example* XD

Hehehe I love this series

Because they're new on the scene, I suspect, and appropriate a lot of imagery that "belong" do other subcultures, thus diminishing the identity of that culture.
π: 0 β©: 1
Maybe...Personally I dont mind it, not a huge fan of most of the music though...Heheh I wonder where Emo will be in 10 years, if it will stick around or what?
π: 0 β©: 1
I imagine it won't be around very long, I don't think its distincitive enough - it bases itself on too many other subcultures. But I could be wrong.

Maybe it'll evolve into something completely different...who knows....

I was missing this. Thanks for doing it again (and we hope you do a million more).
And I so love Tim Burton (and his movies, of course)... I hate the way Jack Skellington turned into a selling device (one day I'll really start hating Disney).
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you!
Do you think, though, that Tim Burton is also to blame for the commerciality of his films? He's a businessman after all, and he wants to make money from them. Like all of us.
π: 0 β©: 1
It's not bad that Tim Burton becomes popular and commercial (as long as he keeps doing great stuff), in fact, that could end up being good. What I don't kinda like is that some things just lose some 'deepness', and I don't like hordes of fanboys that can't see beyond their noses.

Yeah, I do see what you mean.

I hate emo kids. They generally like things that I've been interested in since I was a kid, and like many goth folks, I dislike anyone who is a new fan of something I like. >.>
But you don't hate emos. And that's very cool of you. Bravo, and quite accurate.

Thanks!
I just don't like the idea of hating anyone based on subcultural affiliation. I'd rather hate someone for their personality.
π: 0 β©: 1
+nods+ A good lesson to live by. And I suppose it's not that I hate emos in general (I have a few friends considered emo), it's just...most of the ones I've met aren't so nice. I'm just going by experience.

I have liked this series up until now. No offense at all intended to you or your work. But I think your research is a bit off on this one.

Well, in my observations I've noticed that Emos, while they dress similar to goths and punks, really don't belong to either classification. They actually share more similarities to the same social groups that followed boy bands and late 90's pop groups before they bellied up. The original Emo music movement was squelched with the rise of bands like Good Charlotte, which transformed the genre from a subshoot of punk music into a new brand of pop music, where stanza, formula and strategically designed campaigns have replaced creativity and expression. Bands like My Chemical Romance have even been labelled as Emo simply because of their dress and youthful image, however they actually belong to the Hardcore category with bands like Hawthorne Heights. The closest thing to punk in the Emo format is a subgenre called Screamo, which is similar to Hardcore in a lot of respects, but I feel that eventually this offshoot will split off and become its own seperate movement.

MY chemical romance is considered emo because of their LYRICS!
π: 0 β©: 3
my chemical romance is considered emo because emos and emo-posers alike found them easy to rip off. they also get lumped together with other bands, and its not because of the music. its because of the fashion. which is pathetic. kindve like you.

Frontman Gerard Way has recently stated in an interview that they were never Emo, as he says emo is "a pile of shit."
[link]

well, if guns n roses said they werent rock, it wouldnt mean its true
lyrics define a band, and gerard probably has only the most negative of emo stereotypes, as emotional hardcore is deifferent from the 2006-onwards mod emo, which is fall out boy, mcr etc.
if it wasnt for emo, mcr wouldnt have many fans
π: 0 β©: 1
if it wasn't for emo, mcr's fanbase wouldn't be so confused as to why they keep screaming "we're not emo!"

thank you thank you thank you thank you
oh goodness reading that made my day...and my non-emo friends day XD XD XD kudos!

That would mean that Nirvana must have been emo too. And Pearl Jam. And The Beatles. And any other band that may have had a sad or emotional theme.
Thanks for being ignorant.

theye wrent in the emo time so theres no way of knowing. and im not talking abpout a little emotion, im talking about lyrics like, "wouldn't it be great to take a pistol by the hand and wouldnt it be great if we were dead?", and "when talking's just a waste of breath, and living is a waste of death" <<< thats emo
and calling me ignorant is pretty stupid as you seem to have no grasp on mod emo music
