Have only been referred to as Emo once in my life, and solely as an online compliment. While my baby brother seems to recieve such comments all the time in High School, simply for being slender and wearing jeans with his naturally dark hair. Nothing that I find truly insulting, since most people use the term as a purely aesthetic adjective. And unfortunately have to agree with Mariner also on the fading activity of Goth, but in some ways am more sympathetic towards real post-harcore Emo on this point. As it is that scene which is now facing the full brunt force of pop cultural repossession, whereas Goth had been the primary target in the late 90's.
