Think they tend to wear ant jackets and eye liner. So definitely look like a mutation of goth.

I think the music itself is very different from goth (although no better) but I agree that by and large it appeals to ther same demographic that would have been goths in the mid-late 80s. Teenagers who are too smart and sensitive to be chavs (or casuals as we would have called tham back in my day), basically. I don't have a problem with folk strarting out by liking emo if it eventually leads them on to more adventurous stuff by association, though.
