I search for 2001 and this post was the first result.

old man here. when did goths become emo kids? when i was a youngster, and candy was a nickel, it was the goths that painted their faces. the emo kids just wore chuck taylor's and v-neck sweaters and listened to sunny day real estate and texas is the reason. when did they change things?

[–]cyclicamp 35 points36 points ago

Emo kids started being called hipsters along with everyone else, allowing for goths to get the emo label hand-me-down. I think punks got the goth label, allowing for the mods to be punk. I think most of the beatniks are dead at this point so everything before that just kind of fell off.

As a kid, this seems accurate. I have never met a "beatnik" my age.

Beatnik

Sorta like todays "hipsters" but from the 60's, and much less pretentious and much more cool.

You think that wearing a beret was ever unpretentious?

[–]Jenerations 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Because wearing a sweater that looks like it's from your mother's closet is totally cool...

[–]heracleides 5 points6 points ago

They were the first of the pretentious and no they weren't cool at all.

Google tells me, for a more proper definition:

beat·nik/ˈbētnik/ Noun:
A young person in the 1950s and early 1960s belonging to a subculture associated with the beat generation.

[–]faltulosaurusREX 1 point2 points ago

Guess who works at Google Inc. these days. Yes, beatniks were your 60's institutionalized hippies. Early hipsters.

[–]advocatadiaboli 2 points3 points ago

There was some pretty heavy overlap. This random guy, for example, would have been teeny goth if you saw him walking around in wide-leg black pants with buckles and a band t-shirt, but slap some skinny jeans on him and he'd be emo. The defaults are very similar (black clothes, elaborate hair with color streaks, eyeliner, teen angst). On the other side, there was a lot of mod/retro influence, which I suppose was the other non-gothy side of emo. There wasn't a lot of that when I was growing up... I'm sure it evolved differently in different areas, though.

[–]MattMetters -1 points0 points ago

Your link is how the "emo" style looks good. I dress like him a lot, (minus the makeup) but the troll in the original link just takes it too far...

[–]advocatadiaboli 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I imagine, given the big hair and the heavier makeup, that she's going for goth, not emo. The guy I linked is sort of a default for both, but they diverge from there, with goths leaning towards more elaborate hair, clothes, and makeup (like their 80s/90s predecessors).

As for the guy, well, if you're hot and you do the style well, you can pull off mostly anything. Lots of girls take it further than OP's link, and they pull it off because they're hotter and have more skill with hair/makeup.

See, that last link looks like a couple of candy ravers to me. What's going on here? My whole world is wrong!

[–]foreverjerome 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There's a fine line between candy ravers and cyber goths.

[–]advocatadiaboli 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's cybergoth. More or less a mix between goth and ravers, so yeah, there you go. :)

[–]TheProphetMuhammad 2 points3 points ago

A long time ago. Check out an illustrated guide here. The emo you referred to, is now called "prehistoric emo".
