I agree with VD, VisciaDacia, pervs

, I don't mind the preferences of an individual even emo. Emos are in a sense goth, since they also emphasize the expression of self. They just express themselves differently. They emphasize and, arguably, like to wallow in their misery. To me, the goth is a kind of stoic who uses life's challenges and sadness as inspiration in their literature and music. I am indifferent to emo since they are just a different subculture with different tastes. It is when emos identify with goths as a similar subculture that bothers me. This has led to several stereotypes of the gothic that are not essentially related to the gothic such as cutting, whining, etc.
