Theory of Emo Music

The theory that emo music is really cheerful and fun, until you listen to the lyrics then it becomes sad. Usually occurs because of emo bands inablity to come up with good lyrics.
Foster: "Dude this song face down is awesome! it makes me so happy"
Laura: "You realize that song is about a guy who beats his girlfriend?"
Foster: "Aww...now it makes me sad to listen to that song"
Laura: "Yea Its the Theory of Emo Music"

Difference between emo and goth

Often on Urban Dictionary has alot of hate for emo and goth and incorrect definitions
For example some YouTubers like Crankthatfrank , Evangeline Demuro and Social Repose fall within these categories.

Emo is usually depicted to be a phase for teen though that is not always the case as you see with YouTuber Crankthatfrank. They are abit like Goths but not as extreme. They can wear other colours than just black and are not usually that dark personality wise. They can also seem about more casual in hoodies etc.

Goths are usually how you imagine them to look. They wear alot of black and usually are quite pale but can have colours like green to go with green hair etc .They also have different sub cultures which I wouldn't recommend going to Urban dictionary for as they have alot of hate on this website. They also have different levels of extreme for example , YouTubers Evangeline Demuro and Social Repose. Evangeline typically wears black clothing, sometimes with white (chequered). Her clothing isn't usually that heavy and is quite light and airy. Her make up also consists of other colours but more dark than light and bright. More extreme Goths like Social Repose wear very heavy clunky clothing which seen cool but difficult to cary around. ( Social Repose as a person is truly terrible).

People often criticise Goths to be evil devil worshippers , though this is not true and is just a stereotype. Goths are often quite artistic though people don't see this.
Person : wow these pictures if my emo phase are so embarrassing hahaha. I still wish I could be like inspiration though
Goth: I wish people would lead. The Difference between emo and goth. Ugh.

Emo=Person who listens to emotional music, and usually cry and dont mosh at their concerts. Kinda of like goths but less ugly and more emotional. Usually rant about how unfair the world is and how their last boyfriend/girlfriend was the only one they will ever love. Many jokes about them being suicidal but mainly they are doing it for attention.

Many people confuse scene kids and emos b/c they wear similiar clothing and sometimes have similiar styles. Both wear small band tee's they buy at their concerts even though they like different music. Some scene guys wear girl pants as well as some emos making them even more easily confused.

Scene kids and emo kids are very different mainly in the type of music they like and their outlook on life in general. Scene kids are fun and usually are at local concerts/parties. Emo kids are sad and usually stay at home and write poetry and check their myspaces.
Scene kid: "i cant wait to go to my concert and mosh"

Emo kid: "i cant wait to go to my concert and sob at this life's black abyss that is my heart"

Scene kid: "ok...bye"
