Emo or Goth?

The button is all emo. But the ratty Eisenhower jacket it jumped off of was worn by a kid who couldn't focus. He couldn't decide if he was goth or emo. He got interested in the emo scene after a cute emo girl in his class made eye contact. That's all it took. Next thing he knew he had spiked hair, striped t-shirts, skinny jeans, and canvas sneakers. And a little of mom's eyeliner. And the odd make-out session with Joshua from algebra class. But he prefers goth music! He'd take Dead Can Dance over Fall Out Boy any day. It's his dirty little secret. He's worried that someone looked over his shoulder on the bus and saw that he was listening to "Dear Prudence" by Siouxsie and the Banshees. Now the emos might disown him. Whatever, he starts a new school next year any way.
