What's the difference between and emo, goth, punk, and bro?

And what's their purpose? Emos and punks look the same but I'm sure there is some difference between them and bros are just weird and goths scare the freak out of me!
The deal with that? XD

 

There is no difference, they were all started by the English government to destroy the United States.../:

Sadly their plan backfired when the emo warriors were to busy complaining and whining rather then doing their jobs...

 

...

 

Oh - then what's so great about them? I really HATE GOTHS. They are so freaking weird and ugly and so Satan it makes me do the sign of the cross everytime I see them!!!!!!!!!!

 

Um Goth: Evil, hates everyone, likes heavy metal, wears all black and usally baggy pants, have huge silver chains, and are creepy. o.o Oh yeah and they worship anti-christ and love fire.

Emo: Sadistic people, hate themselves, like emo music, wears all black and tight pants, cuts themselves and cry all the time, dream = suicide

Punk: Normal people, is okay with everyone, likes punk rock alternative etc., and they arnt creepy

Bro: Are basically party animals and are well not the best in law....

 

Emo is a person who is good just acts depressed...
Goth is a person who is depressed angry and wants to kill
A punk is like a gasta club person
And A Bro is like whatever just like ya'know, big bro or whatever

EDIT: Uh the post above me gives better examples...

 

Truthfully, Gothic people aren't that bad. I'm not gothic, emo, bro, or punk. But I will say that the way people treat these groups of people is very baised and wrong.

For one: Gothic is a style of clothing
Two: Emo is a state of mind
Three: Punk is a style of music
Four: Da funk is bro?O.o (Never heard of it)

The true meanings for these words are none of the ones stated in the above posts. I can say that or a fact.

 

Never heard of it either. XD

 

...

 

Labels are ******ed
at least thats my opinion..
Emo is just like Goth,but whimpy and wananbe

 

A bro is just a brother right?

 

Meh these are all just prejudist things people always say and will continue to say. I mean they say it to everyone preps, jocks, loners, skaters, stoners, punks, emos, ghettos, goths etc. Its not like its just these 4.

Um theres another defenition in my post. I truthfully never knew xD i went on urban dictionary to figure that one out.

 

Here's an accurate one:

Gothic: A medieval type of building, usually with large gargoyles and pointed ceilings.
Emo: Short for 'emotional'.
Punk: A type of music that is the most wonderful ever.
Bro: Never heard of it...

If you're talking about the stereotypes then...

Gothic: Wearing lots of black. The hardcore ones worship Satan.
Emo: A term that has become lost in translation. Truthfully it is a state of mind of being, but it is now used for people with flippy hairdo's, tight pants, and/or that cut themselves.
Punk: Someone who listens to 'Punk' music.

 

I dunno the real difference. Emos are more emotional. Punks are pround misfits. That's just the way I see it.

You mean a college fratboy? XD

If I see one more moronic statement(no offence) about 'goth' I am going to scream!!

"Goth is a person who is depressed angry and wants to kill" WRONG

"Evil, hates everyone, likes heavy metal, wears all black and usally baggy pants, have huge silver chains, and are creepy. o.o Oh yeah and they worship anti-christ and love fire." VERY WRONG!!!


A "Goth" is not someone who 'dresses in all black and worshops satan' Satanists are what you are describing. "Goth" is actually a dirivitive of a word that describes a time period and Archtectual and Artistic movement: "Gothic", here is the definition to enlighten you all:

Art: Gothic art told a narrative story through pictures, both Christian and secular.

The earliest Gothic art was Christian sculpture, born on the walls of Cathedrals and abbeys. Christian art was often typological in nature (see Medieval allegory), showing the stories of the New Testament and the Old Testament side by side. Saints' lives were often depicted. Images of the Virgin Mary changed from the Byzantine iconic form to a more human and affectionate mother, cuddling her infant, swaying from her hip, and showing the refined manners of a well-born aristocratic courtly lady.

Secular art came in to its own during this period with the rise of cities, foundation of universities, increasing trade, a money-based economy and a bourgeois class who could afford to patronize the arts and commission works resulting in a proliferation of paintings and illuminated manuscripts. Increased literacy and a growing body of secular vernacular literature encouraged the representation of secular themes in art. With the growth of cities, trade guilds were formed and artists were often required to be members of a painters' guild—as a result, because of better record keeping, more artists are known to us by name in this period than any previous, some artists were even so bold as to sign their names.

Archetecture: Gothic sculpture was born on the wall, in the middle of the 12th century in ÃŽle-de-France, when Abbot Suger built the abbey at St. Denis (ca. 1140), considered the first Gothic building, and soon after the Chartres Cathedral (ca. 1145). Prior to this there had been no sculpture tradition in Ile-de-France—so sculptors were brought in from Burgundy, who created the revolutionary figures acting as columns in the Western (Royal) Portal of Chartres Cathedral (see image)—it was an entirely new invention, and would provide the model for a generation of sculptors.

The French ideas spread. In Germany, from 1225 at the Cathedral in Bamberg onward, the impact can be found everywhere. The Bamberg Cathedral had the largest assemblage of 13th century sculpture, culminating in 1240 with the Bamberg Rider, the first equestrian statue in Western art since the 6th century. In England the sculpture was more confined to tombs and non-figurine decorations (which can in part be blamed on Cistercian iconoclasm). In Italy there was still a Classical influence, but Gothic made inroads in the sculptures of pulpits such as the Pisa Baptistery pulpit (1269) and the Siena pulpit.

Gothic sculpture evolved from the early stiff and elongated style, still partly Romanesque, into a spatial and naturalistic feel in the late 12th and early 13th century. Influences from surviving ancient Greek and Roman sculptures were incorporated into the treatment of drapery, facial expression and pose.

Dutch-Burgundian sculptor Claus ****er and the taste for naturalism signaled the beginning of the end of Gothic sculpture, evolving into the classicistic Renaissance style by the end of the 15th century.

Please people, be informed before making statements like that.

Someone asked me to post about "Emo" as well, so here goes:

Emo is not someone who is 'self-hating, depricating or any other slef abusive motivation', it does not describe someone who wants to kill themself. It is derivative of the word EMOtional, or EMOtions. They merely are more in tune with what theyre heart is feeling, and therefore more expressive, this can be evident in overly happy people, or overly sad, depressed people, it doesnt matter.
