There's no stereotype of a goth. They are individuals, like satanists. I consider myself a goth and I listen to goth rock (the good oldies 😄 siouxsie and the banshees rules all 😄) but i don't have the 'i want to die. The world is a sick, sad place, let's make a dark poem out of this' attitude. What makes a true goth is his feelings towards it. If he feels goth, then he is. If not, no matter how gothy he would look and behave, he's not goth. End of story!

Actually, there is a stereotype of a goth, at least to the general public, and that is the 'the world is a sick sad place, lets make a dark poem out of this" attitude you spoke of. And many so called goths adhere to this stereotype.

but... not all goths are like that! and yeah, it's only to the general public.

this thread has the biggest set of large posts that i have EVER seen!

hehe 😄 hey, it's true! 😄 haha... weel, at least ppl have their own opinion, eh?

back of the others.

Well, EXCUSE ME that I'm learning proper english lta... this is the definition that I've learned. On a course. Preparing to the First Certificate in English, which I passed with an 'A'. OH PLEASE FORGIVE ME AND SNOG ME AGAIN, I'M DYING FOR IT.

back to goth topic.

Im a goth and i wear black cos i want to. I wear weird makeup cos i want to. Im quite quiet because i want to be. I just thuink black matches the way i feel. Its simple-there are many distorted views on what a goth is and chances are nobody will ever agree on what a true goth is, so why not let people be whatever they want to be? If people think its stupid, let them think it, but as long as goths arent insulted for it. Its the way we wanna be, the way we feel, and does it actually matter why goths are the way they are? Some of you have said "its not individual at all"...so what? Ive been asked often why i dress the way i do and when i tell the person, they just say "but that doesnt make sense." They arent prepared to understand so why ask???lol!

I'm not a goth. I only use the tag to simplify it for people. 🙂

i could say amen to that gotwa 😄 it's far lot easier to tell, 'yeah i'm goth, f*ck off' than to give a 5-hour lecture, eh? 😄

Yes, much easier.
