for instance ppl say the hate us for the clothes and makeup we wear but not all of us wear it i admit i wear eyeliner but this doesnt make me evil or satanic so what buisness is it of John Q. Publics if i should so choose to wear such materials? cmon ppllets spark a healthy debate or something

Okay, generally I do think of gothic people as either weird or just nuts. That is completely due to my lack of knowledge on the subject. For the most part, the goths I have encountered seem to dress that way simply to go against any sort of conformity or any popular clothing item society deems "hip" or "in". Instead, they are just part of an underground road of conformity, and it really doesn't make any sense to me why someone would claim to be a faithful anti-conformist. Yet you still conform with other goths.

I am just really confused on the whole matter. Just answer me this: what's your own personal reason for dressing like a goth? Is it more than just wanting to express yourself? Really, I want to know.

Someone else her said that "Goth" is just another subculture and I think that's true. It's just group that Goths feel comfortable with... it doesn't matter what you wear or how you wear your "Goth" materials, cause that doesn't mean squat. I hate it when people truly try to be Goth and they become so saturated by their little group that they cease to be indivduals... but a eye make-up and black clothes doesn't make you Goth, so I don't know what to think anymore... do you think you're a Goth? Are you sure?

Goth is the ability to find the art where art seems to be lacking; to find the light in the darkness and embrace it for all its worth...

If this is what being a Goth is about then I'm all for it. Keep up the good work, but lose the clothes.

Yeah, honestly, why do you consider yourself, or anyone for that matter, to be gothic?

the only reason i dont like 'goth' is cuz they are too sensitive and they gotta live life like every one else, and them talking shit about 'ghetto' people is really what gets me pissed....

i mean the people i chill with would be considered 'ghetto' people and 90 percent of the goths in my school are getting fucked up on a daily basis for talking shit, so is it me, or are some goths not bitches?

[CYRAX]

oh yeah, they way they look/dress makes me sick as well, doesnt help me to wake up to see some fat guy with black makeup on outside my window in fishnets..... rofl...

How about when you see them... wave or something... they'll probably wave back.

[higher4hockey]

The goth look can be awesome on certain girls ... that's all I have to say on it.
