How to use the terms goth and emo

Content: Gothic literature dates back to the 1700s, and its works were characterized by a gloomy setting, grotesque, mysterious, or violent events, and an atmosphere of degeneration and decay. It wasn’t until the 1980s that goth became a genre of music. Goth (short for Gothic) music sprung from the 1970s wave of punk and is itself characterized by “morbid themes and melodies.” Like Gothic fiction, goth music revels in the macabre. A person who is part of this subculture favors this style of this often minor-keyed music and “a dark aesthetic .” Its early artists include Joy Division, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Cure. Using goth in a sentence is relatively easy, it being a simple noun. But goth can also be used as an attributive noun, as you’ll see in our second example: Sally is clearly a goth, because she listens to Joy Division constantly and only wears black clothes. The greatest goth band of all time is The Cure, and you cannot change my mind.
