Actually I am the only Goth at my school and people started calling me Emo as a joke nickname but it stuck and it is my nickname now. I like it so...whatever.> Just so we know....
> EMO:
> 1) Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.
> 2) A group of white, mostly middle-class well-off kids who find imperfections in there life and create a ridiculous, depressing melodrama around each one. They often take anti-depressants, even though the majority don't need them. They need to wake up and deal with life like everyone else instead of wallowing in their imaginary quagmire of torment.
> 3) Like a Goth, only much less dark and much more Harry Potter.
> ...then again all this from a chick who's alias meens "house."
