I assume you’re either 12 or dont belong to either culture and are just an outsider looking in. Emo and goth stem from entirely different music genres and share very little other than black eyeliner and dark fashion. But egirls seem to be something different entirely. Not my generation, so I’m observing from the outside as you were with emos and goths, but from what I can understand, egirls don’t stem from musical roots. They’re a gen-z fashion subculture that sprung up from the internet itself on micro-vlogging sites like tiktok.
Nah, I’m 36. I’ve grown up seeing all of them. First there were the goths & punks & grunge groups. Goths were people that dressed the Adams family, punks had the studded leather & the little spikes, and grunge looked like Kurt Cobain.
Then came emo. Had my high school gf dress emo for me once, good times. If I remember right, the emo girl thing started with Avril Lavigne’s style from Complicated & Skater Boy, a space between goth & punk & skater style.
Egirls came later, once I was out of the military & going to school.
They just look like an evolved emo girl, without the angst. My experience with them has been them ruining online lobbies, trying to sell me their OF, and trying to get me to be their sugar daddy. I assume it’s because I’m old and they see me as an ATM lol. But yeah, egirls just look like they took the emo girl look with none of the culture.
Aah, I understood it to be a teen tiktok thing in the past 5-10 years or so, when Millennials were already in our late 20s to early 40s. Wikipedia also calls it a Gen Z subculture, but again, I’m an outsider looking in, so I definitely get that Wikipedia may be wrong in this case.
Egirl is short for “emo girl,” apparently. So, think more like Goth Girl Lite.
completely just not true
Yeah, some people use egirl for emo girls. I’m still not sure what the other egirl is short for, Ethernet girl?
Electronic
Oh… so like a vtuber?
I thought that was the definition of egirls

Egirls are definitely a millennial thing. Egirls are basically just girls that spend a lot of social interaction on the internet.
