Goths of whatever stripe tend to have a web of cultural reference points/shared interests which are not primarily musical i.e. Tim Burton, Neil Gaiman, Giger I guess for the techno-goth bods, etc. (I can think of plenty of things that *I* wd consider 'typically goth' but which more knowledgeable types might scoff at)

ANYWAY what are the non-musical cultural touchstones for Emo kids? Books, comix, films, TV, designers or styles, not really fashion cos that's fairly obvious/apparent...

ghost world? (film and/or comic)

EtS is manifestly also goth hence not emo-specific

[livejournal.com profile] braisedbywolves's revealed theory was emo = goths who haven't had sex yet
