Queer

1. Originally defined as weird, odd, or unusual. Dated back around the 19th century.
2. A slur used for homosexuals, male or female. Baby Boomers and Gen Xers have been bashed with this slur in the 1960s-1970s. Still used as a derogatory term today.
3. An identity used by the LGBT community; some have reclaimed this word. That's what the Q stands for, but I prefer it used as Questioning.

Even though I'm young, I believe it is used as an offensive word; I'm not weird, nor am I a slur for homosexual.

1.) The Individual has some queer mannerisms.

2.) arsehole: That guy is a qu**r
3.) I identify as queer; I don't identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, so I'll use the word queer.

Goth

Once was considered a Germanic tribe long ago, it is used now as a music genre branched from punk. It mainly came from the late 1970s to the whole entire decade of the 1980s. The goth music genres are mainly Post Punk, Gothrock, Nowave, and Deathrock. It was originally founded in the United Kingdom, and some of the bands were Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees, Bauhaus, and Joy Division for example. The goth music and fashion scenes were also popular in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in the same time periods. Most of the people who liked goth music liked the spooky sounding music. Goth is mainly about the music, but there are two styles of goth; Trad Goth and Deathrock. Deathrock dressed in deathawk, tartan pants, leather jacket, and the like. Deathrock is also to describe one of the branches of goth music. Alien Sex Fiend is an example of a Deathrock band. Trad Goths liked their hair really teased up and liked to wear leather jackets, vinyl pants or skirts, and wore their favorite post punk, deathrock, goth rock, or no wave band shirt. The batcave was very popular place to go to for goths. Mainly goth music and fashion is a diy, so most goths went to thrift stores to get their clothes. Joy Division is one of the most popular and cult like bands in the goth music scene today. Some other goth bands are Specimen, Sex Gang Children, The Cure, and The Birthday Party.

Goth was once known as a Germanic tribe, but now today Goth is a music genre from the 1970s to the 1980s. It also had DIY fashion.

Emotive Hardcore

Emotive hardcore, or emo for short, is a music genre rooted from punk in the D.C. scene in the mid to late 80s. Most people would consider it and insult for an individual who likes to wear horn rimmed glasses, argyle sweaters and converse, but emo is mainly about the music. Bands like Rites of Spring and Moss Icon were two of the main bands in this scene. There is also Midwest Emo, Indie Emo pop rock, Twinkle Emo, and The emo revival. Skramz is also part of the emo music genre. Skramz is the real screamo, not what most people think what is screamo, which is actually metalcore, post-hardcore, and deathcore. Most of the fashion of real emos came along in the 1990s; They wore horn rimmed glasses, or cat eye glasses, had a gas station jacket, messenger bags, argyle sweaters, dyed their hair black, striped sweaters, favorite band shirts, studded belts, cardigans, converse, mary janes, argyle socks, peacoats. Fashion was always a secondary to the music, because it is always about supporting your favorite bands. Examples of emotive hardcore: Rites of Spring and Moss Icon. Examples of Midwest Emo: Cap N Jazz, Jawbreaker. Examples of Indie Emo pop rock: Sunny Day Real Estate, Texas is the Reason, The Get Up Kids. Examples of Skramz: Orchid, Page ninetynine, Majority Rule, City of Caterpillar. Examples of twinkle emo: Algernon Cadwallader. Examples of Emo revival: Modern Baseball, American Football, Snowing.

Emo is actually short for Emotive Hardcore, and it is actually a music genre, not a subculture.
