Goths often wear Christian crosses or Christian crucifixes, which many regard as a pre-Christian religious symbol. Others wear New Age/ancient Egyptian Ankh symbols. Some do this as expression of their religious beliefs, some for satire, and others because they like their appearance.

Religion is frequently discussed on the Goth newsgroups. Many songs, band names and album titles have Christian themes. 6

The public incorrectly commonly associates Goths with Marilyn Manson.

 (btw im wearing a marilyn manson shirt atm )

I listen to stuff like avenged seven fold and cradle of filth. I dont wear make up or fake blood and black clothes.

Does that make me a goth?

Because in my opionon that just makes me someone who like's heavy metal. Because i also like stuff like hendrix, blue oyster cult, pink floyd, ect. but i dont consider myself as a hippie. I consider myself as me. I never have understood why everyone is put into groups because of what music they like and what they wear.

Its such bullshit. Omg, your wearing a system of a down shirt so im going to give you dodgy look's because you'll proberly beat somebody up or nick something.

or, omg, u like hendrix, u must never shower because ur a hippie.
