People are stereotyping goth in the worst way ever-by thinking goth and emo are the same thing! I don't have a problem with emos in general, but the purpose I do.

Actually, emo started as "emotional hardcore" in the late 80's with bands like Fugazi. Back then, it was just a little denomination of punk. Now, thanks mostly in part to the artfucking record companies, it's turned into a tag-along little pop-punk brother of goth. I don't have a problem with "emo", I just have a problem with people that live by stereotypes.
