    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.
