I never thought of emo as a genre of music - just people who were into a lot of emotional drama smurf banding together with other kids who were into emotional drama smurf.

But the kids I knew (who were only a few years younger than me) who called themselves emo - they were OK kids, they could just be a little weird. Musically they were primarily into techno. But they dressed like Goths and did Goth like stuff - such as Magic The Gathering.

Magic: The Gathering is goth?

I played and I sure as hell wasn't goth. I was total nerd.

It wasn't goth, but if you were goth, you almost certainly played it.

LOL. You are such a tard.

OK. If you say so.
That's just my experience from who I knew.

Wow those conservatives are closed minded. I don't agree with that list at all. (not surprising though, is it)

I wasn't entirely sure that site was real but apparently so as is this advert on it:

I suppose we should be happy some of Rousseau's work wasn't listed.

Wow, if you're so GD narrow minded that you can't even have cocktails and dinner with someone different then you, then you have some serious smurfing problems.

Don't you live in Redding? Bush was pushing 70% in Shasta County in '04

When I was in high school the goth kids simply listened to Bauhaus and the Cure. They didn't play magic.

Although  I recall that game coming out when I was leaving high school.

Many if not most of the republicans here are over 40 (there is a large retirement community here) - and I've only lived here about 4 years, I was Bay Area before here.

Rock the vote failed because the young ones don't vote - hence the 70% repub in Shasta County.

The chicks I've dated here have all been college chicks, and not from the christian schools.

Hillarious stuff.

it is a funny fad.

Who cares about that Magic card game anymore? I guess I was too young for it. I grew up in the Pokemon era, but I wasn't really into that anyway.

To me goth is gigantic baggy pants (not jeans) with chains, many piercings, black lipstick, etc.

Emo is sort of like tight jeans and converse sneakers, mohawks, or hair in front of the eyes, dyed black hair, polaroid cameras, mixtapes, etc.

Dashboard Confessional, Hawthorne Heights, Armor for Sleep, Fall Out Boy, etc. and bands I would consider emo.
Some people just call them "Alternative Rock"

Goth didn't have baggy pants when I was high school / early college.
They did wear all black, and often wore big black overcoats. They listened to The Cure, Depeche Mode, Green Day (that might have been because Green Day went to the local high school, same class as me), and later (post high school) - industrial. Most of them were middle class and doing it to shock their parents (who had been hippies to shock their parents - who had been into early rock to shock their parents - who had been into swing to shock their parents ... and so the cycle continues)

Baggy pants at that time were pretty much only worn by the rappers.

Those almost look like parachute pants that the break dancers use to wear.

Some of those look like identical photograph, and they just changed the colour.
Is that common?

I guess it makes sense, but the photograph then isn't of the actual pants.
