what the previous person said before is right about punk but, gothic is a religion its a different beleif. A lot beleive in sadism and domineering behaviour, but its mainly to do with worshipping and beleiving in the rituals of the prince of darkness, in short punk is a form of rebellion and goth is a religion, a punk would say 'the world is screwing us' and a goth would say 'we are being screwed by the world'

Well, Punk is generally referring to a person who listens to punk music. Its a form of music, like most people said in this post that started with bands like the ramones, sex pistols and such. Punk is somewhat coming back - except most of the mainstream stuff is turning into a pop/punk hybrid. Generally most people that label themselves as a `punk` truly don't understand the concept of being a `punk`. And basically the premise of belonging to the punk `group` destroys the entire message of non-conformity that it gives.

As far as Goths go. There are really two different kinds.

Current mainstream goth are basically a bunch of self-neglected children that feel they have been dealt a bad hand in life, and therefore result to listening to death metal and just plain out being angry all the time. They generally wear black all the time and read corny poetry about death.

Former goths were those kind of counter-culture kids that sat in coffee shops and read books. Its sad where the future is leading.

it depends on wut youre talking about here. punk style and goth style...??? because both can count as styles for like, music, clothes, etc. and in that case there pretty similar but not hte same. if youre talking about goth as in actually being 'gothic', that means you worship the devil (satan).
plez rate me

goth is like a religion.

punk was born in the eighties (bands like rancid, the sex pistols, the clash... etc)
it was a style of rebellion.

If you like punk music, you can be called punk.
If you like goth music, you can be called goth.
Punk-Ramones, Dead Kennedys, DOA, Sex Pistols, etc.
Goth-NIN, Skinny Puppy, Cradle, Carcass..etc.
But in all, labels are dumb and should be burned.
