[Catman]

Is Lydia Deets, played by Winona Ryder in 1988's Beetlejuice, cinema's first "emo" character?

goth...emo...pretty much the same thing. both are whiney.

 

[Catman]

No...she was more goth.

Isn't emo a sub-genre of the whole goth thing? I think Burton went in with the intensions of goth but gave us an emo brat instead.

She is indeed an emo. Gotta love Ryder though.
