Umm, if you were Emo back then perhaps you were just catching the tail end of "goth."
Mike; I remember it as being a bit different. Just kind of sad, socially isolated, but more of a "Woe is me, I don't have a girlfriend" sort of thing. The goth kids were more into metal and shocking people, whereas I was just sad most of the time (it was not long after that I first started hearing Dashboard Confessional, Jimmy Eat World, The Get Up Kids, etc.)
