[Mario64]

Could you give me a basic outline of each and how they are different form one another? Don't get spammy!  >:(

Letters. Look G-O-T-H and E-M-O.

Or that Gothic people have orgins to the from the 18th century, the word came to mean Germanic in general, with grim overtones:

Gothic fiction, a British literary genre from the late 18th and early 19th century, with a Victorian revival a hundred years later.
From its use in Romanticism, the word in the 20th century came to refer to anything dark or gloomy:

While Emo people believe in mutilation of the body.

Got the first part right though! ^_^

"Emo" people definitely don't believe in mutilation of the body.  Not all "emo" people cut themselves... while some people that are definitely not "emo" DO cut.  It's not something they believe in.... it's something that some people fall into the habit of.  It's a cry for help and it's not something that should be mocked.

And not everyone that cuts does it out of depression or desperation.  Scarring is an art to some that's similar to tattooing but without the ink.  There's no emotional dilemna for those that scar for art.  That's just their style.

Cutting doesn't make or break who is "emo" or not.  Stupid stereotypes...
