"There was peace between the Mall Goths, the Pastel Goths, The Punk Goths and the Romantic Goths, but it all changed when the Black Metal Goths attacked. Only Robert Smith, master of all four elements: black coffee, nonconformism, depression, and using Halloween decorations as home decor all year around, could bring back the peace and restore the balance, but when he was needed the most, he disappeared, because he wasn't really feeling like going out on tour anymore..."

[@zaknafein_aconite]

@@Magicalwolfgamer Metal is loud and aggressive. Everything from their drums to the guitars, even their slower stuff is wild, but fun. Goth, however, is poised. There are almost always synthesizers. The tone ranges from seductive to somber, almost like gloomy 80’s music. Hell, newer bands in the genre still sound like that. Hope this helped. \m/

[@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield]

Thank you. I think it's kinda a significant distinction that needs to be better defined. They cover a good bit of the thing but it's... so frustrating how unclear that line is. Yeah you can be more than one subculture but... alot of times Individuals in ANY sort of subculture genre tend to gatekeep and require certain "criteria" to "not be a poser" and seeing some open minded legit goths... it could be of great value.

[@epicslay]

hello! I think I'll be able to help make the line clearer, once you learn a little more it does generally become easier to understand! Both goth and emo are music based subcultures, however, they listen to very very different music. Us goths listen to genres like post-punk, gothic rock, dark-wave, ethereal wave, some sections of the subculture like cybergoth also listen to industrial and ebm Music, however, emos generally listen to pop-punk, numetal, etc, bands like motionless in white, linkin park, etc. whereas goths listen to bands like the sisters of mercy, joy division, siouxsie and the banshees, Molchat doma, etc! hope this helps ❤​@@yourfriendlyinternetmeatshield

[@Aluenvey]

What makes it frusterating is how often I get confused for Emo. Much closer Goth, with Progressive Rock a secondary genre I like. And industrial. I quickly switched back to Goth from industrial.

[@sierratree93]

@@epicslay I'm aware of which bands are which, but I'd like a technical breakdown on the sound. Occasionally I'll hear a band, like Dead On A Sunday, for example who sounds very goth to me, but they describe themselves as an emo band. But their is not at all what I think of as the emo sound-- I think of My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, etc as the emo sound. No one's ever given me a breakdown of the technical musical differences. They just talk about the origins and which bands are goth. I'm interested in *why* they are goth.

You two are cool AF! I'm a old retired hardcore biker. Not so much these days but back in he 80's bikers were regarded similarly by the mainstream. I'll not lie, I have always found Goth ladies attractive. Only it wasn't just their appearance. There was a mystique too. My favorite music is thrash metal. Until this day Motorhead is my ultimate band. Often at the NYC metal shows my path would cross with Goth folks. Everyone I ever met was nice, not judgmental of my way of life. It was easy to strike up a conversation about music and then other topic. Almost always the Goths I met were quite intelligent and well spoken. I enjoyed that out two cultures so easily got along. Perhaps the fact that we all were considered outcasts and misfits by society. I don't know. Your video was great! And didn't mean to ramble so much.

[@My-Name-Isnt-Important]

I personally have never liked the misuse of the term Emo. Emo came from Punk, and the term Emo was derived from more emotive music. It was Punk music that was more about how you felt or were feeling and relationships and stuff. Somehow that got started to be used to describe something entirely different. A good actual true Emo group was Rainer Maria, they were a good example of an Indie Emo group. Most Indie groups of the early 2000s were actually Emo, but since Emo had been subverted into something else, the term Indie was used. A good song by Rainer Maria is Southpaw, you can hear everything Emo had turned into, since it's creation in the late 80's and early 90's.

[@lizardparty2000]

Listen, I enjoy my goth meals with some sides, like everyone else. Either The Cure or Bauhaus as main course, maybe some Daft Punk or Justice on the side, Phil Collins or A-ha or other 80s stuff, maybe some Suicidal Tendencies for seasoning, and Gorillaz for dessert. On another note, I think wearing black as a goth is "recognizable" especially when paired with a goth band t-shirt, and personally I like it, but I feel like honestly if it's for the outside onlookers, they will just confuse you for emo anyway 😂

i would answer lot of these questions like "is x goth" and "do goths listen to x music" with how i in my opinion define goth. i define it as "romanticising horror and melancholy" so for example a goth doesnt need to dress a certain way but surely would listen to some music with dark themes. not necessarily have to be depressed to enjoy a downer of a song in my opinion. a goth may or may not enjoy other dark media like horror movies or true crime stories. i would say dark music is a staple because most people listen to music and a goth person surely would listen to dark music sometimes. i would say anything else depends on the person (though genres of the music they listen also depends on the person). i hope i made sense here :)

You should see a resurgence of Goths or anyone who would be obsessed with death as a result of the Pandemic and a general downturn in the economy. More deaths, result in more behavior based on this theme. I was taught in history classes that during the "Plague", the Black Death during the Middle Ages people started to wear allot of silver and skull rings and such to remind them that Death could strike at any moment. We also saw this during the Victorian Age as people crammed into the cities and there was allot of disease.
