    Egirl is short for “emo girl,” apparently. So, think more like Goth Girl Lite.

      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.
