i dunno...Hot Topic is "punk" too...i think i even saw Damaged for sale there once...

Which means dick if all the employees are 16 and scoffing at you for listening to "that old shit."

You can give me Rites of Spring over Skinny Puppy any old day, thanks.

Goth girls are way hotter and better in bed than those whiny, blogging, un-selfconfident emo girls quoting their Saves the Day lyrics. Go goth, young man, go goth.

Emo has:
Sunny Day Real Estate (I enjoy)
Weezer (I enjoy)
Probably most of the neo-80's bands (which suck except for Interpol)
Bright Eyes (complete shit)
Pretty shitty literature (mostly hipster garbage)
Myspace (a wasteland)
Screamo (terrible)
new emo (terrible)
Magnetic fields (not crap!)
Attractive women


Goth has:
Siouxsie and the Banshees (not crap!)
Joy Division (not crap!)
The Smiths (not crap!)
Depeche Mode (I enjoy)
Industrial (pretty much crap)
Hot Topic (not really goth, but still crap)
Great literature (Poe, Lovecraft, Hawthorne!)
David Bowie (goth icon)
Attractive women


I don't know, being mildly emo is probably more socially acceptable, but goth culture (when done right) seems to have more perks.

Goth chicks are hotter on average than emo girls...but emo girls are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY sluttier so it's a toss up

Look, I'm only going to say this once: Joy Division were not goth. Joy Division predated goth. That is all.

Everyone has seen Darque Dungeon, right?

Yes, Goth broads are way hotter. I don't like emo at all really, not even the true, early stuff.

Also, I've sat through goth/EBM dance parties that have played Swans and Big Black so...

I have a serious weakness for well dressed goth girls.

I have a serious weakness for poorly dressed emo girls.

I guess I'd vote emo; 5

I have a serious weakness for undressed girls.
NOT CRAP
