The best Nasihat I found myself in my course of heading towards a personal style was the following: simply don't care about any stereotypical "niche" and just like what anda like, do what anda like to do, dress in the clothes anda like and listen to the Muzik anda like.
Of course, it is easy and nice to know the direction your style is going roughly, so anda are not too confused. However, this "main course" should not your personality in any way.
To clear things up, there is this false information about what "Emo" really is all over the media.
Some say, it is "an attitude", like anda are "Emo" when anda are overly emotional. I think this is rather misleading to teenagers, because they are all pretty emotional people! (Trust me, I know.)
To make it short, "emo" is basically a Muzik genre, such as pop, rock, punk and yes, goth. The people who listen to this certain grenre "Emo-core" are described as "Emos". Nowadays, all those other aspects, such as "style" belong to the categorising of people with different Muzik tastes as well, that is why there is this confusion.
To get back to your question, because I feel I tend to digress:
If anda want to follow my Nasihat from the beginning, then explore the Muzik genres "emo" and "goth". These pautan will be glorious mines of information for anda (this blog helped me a lot):

There is no "better" atau "worse". To me, the "goth" outweighs the "emo" for several personal reasons. But that does not have to be the case for you. I even used to think of myself as an "Emo" when I was younger. I liked the alternative look and because "Emos" were for some time lebih in the foreground than Goths, I got to know them lebih a bit earlier and felt drawn to the style. Later I realised that the Muzik was not actually that appealing to me and the darker aesthetic way lebih pleasing than the leopard print etc. Then I "found" Goth - the rest is history. :)
I am sorry if this reply was too long for you, gothgirl76 (interesting that anda call yourself that, considering that anda seem a bit uncertain about the goth subculture) atau the others who were Membaca this (or wanted to...).
At last, I wish I could help in any way.
If anyone wants to know lebih atau needs lebih help, I am willing to be there for you. Send me a message. Just be aware of the fact that I am not the Goddess of "Gothdom" atau anything like that, but instead a "baby bat" as any other younger goth.
