Seeing as I myself believe that I am one and am told I am one then perhaps I may be able to define the term more appropriately.
Emo Goth or Emo-Goth (other variations include Gothmo, Gothymo, Emoth and Emothic) Basically a cross between the subcultures of Emo and Goth, generally having dark views and opinions, being open to a variety of things, not being afraid of others differences and being in touch with their emotional side.
Personality: Tends to have a darker view of things in life, typically in art, clothing, poetry, and music. Tend to be very intelligent and analytical, but also very in touch with their feelings and emotions. Generally kind and honest and very open and expressive, although most have some secrets as well as others. May have any sexual orientation. Typically very romantic. May often appear sad, gloomy or depressed. Most are not like this however. On occasion they are depressed, generally as a reaction to something not-so-great that occurred in their lives. Some share the loving approachable characteristic of the Emo subculture. May possess a fascination with Death, spirituality, religion, vampires, etc., generally associated with the Goth subculture. Most possess a general spirit of defiance against conformity. Many don't care what the rest of the world thinks about them and don't. Most are not afraid to cry and dont see crying as weakness. Some may have a potential towards self-mutilation or suicide, but this is generally more prevalent amongst the posers of this culture.

Get the Emo-Goth mug.This is a term used by Top-40 pop kids who talk like preps, act like preps, and listen to a lot of prep music, even though they spend a lot of their time crying and writing the most irritating poetry ever while listening to music that can be found on Disney Radio. Hot Topic caters to the fuckheads who use this term first and foremost. By the way, Hot Topic is owned by Disney. What a coincidence.
Crystal casually said, "Well, I'm a Gothic emo and I love darkness and freaks." She is now a married Christian mom only a year later, and probably still listens to A Simple Plan and Disturbed. She probably still talks like a Valley Girl: "Omigod, I love cute little kitty cats, like, omigod!"

Short for Gothic.
Used to refer to a musical subculture. Orginally, the goth movement was an outgrowth of the late 50's Bohemian poet-culture (the original black beret-wearing coffee-swilling poetry-reading hipsters. Be zorch, daddy-o!). The goth movement celebrated dark music and dark poetry; eloquence and intellectualism was praised. Goths dressed well, often in Victorian or Edwardian garb, always formal. Goths were fatalistic celebrants; they were dancing in the Apocalypse. Musical icons include Machines of Loving Grace and the Sisters of Mercy.
Over the years, the goth movement has changed. Your typical Goth is much younger, typically in their teens. The emphasis is currently not upon creativity, but upon fashion (the blacker the better) and wannabe Alice Cooper makeup. Sarchasm and sneers are cultured and practiced. Musical darkness has changed to musical disaffection (the two are not the same, people!). Goths are no longer about creativity; they are about out-complaining each other. Attempts at creativity are mocked, with the exception of self-pitying would-be suicide-note poetry.
Goth is a thing of the past.
