There have always been emo's and goths. They just weren't called that then. The emo band thing is a new label, but Emo bands have been around for years, such as the Cure. There are still hippies, they just are called different things now.
You can't change who you are if that is who you really are. If you grow out of it as an adult then it was never who you really were, just a passing phase. True gamers never stop being gamers and there are guys who roleplay in their 50's. True bikers never stop being bikers and true hippies never stop being hippies. If you are really a goth you are going to stay that way when you are 35. If you are emo, when you are an adult you could very well be the guy in the cubicle painting his nails, looking depressed and wearing his hair over just one eye. It happens, but it's rare. That's because for most people it is just a passing phase.

I think you put it perfectly.
