[LMB] AKICOTL: goth, emo and jrock

[Becca Price]

I've just been informed (rather scornfully) that my daughter
isn't goth, but that her personal style is more accurately
called jrock. Another friend told me that she sometimes comes
across as emo, but that friend had never heard of jrock, and so
couldn't really comment. I suspect that, here in the staid
midwest of the USA, the distinction passes unnoticed, but it may
be something that means more on the west coast.

I did some google image searching, and yeah, I can sorta see the
difference, but I can't articulate it. Can someone who is more
in touch with teen culture tell me what the difference is
between goth, emo and jrock? (I can't really tell the difference
between all the hundreds of varieties of metal music either,
although Wikipedia assures me that it is there.)

thank you to whoever can help this poor middleaged mystified
mama
