Are You a Freak?

[linkinpark-1]

Okay' date=' cos Im sick of people bagging out goths.[/quote']

 

You seemed to jump to the conclusion that he was bagging on goths rather fast. It seems like you're just expecting people to diss goths. Isn't that what being gothic is? You put yourself out there in that manor to attract peoples attention, which usually isn't positive attention. By being goth, when you get that negative attention you can just pass it off because "goths don't give a fuck about what people think about them". So in the end you're always just looking for people to pick you out so you can whine about how "stereotypical" everybody is, when you were just asking for that attention in the first place.

 

Don't even tell me I don't know what I'm talking about, because I was a goth like 2 years ago...I know what it's like. Once I learned that I was being more stereotypical then other people, I grew out of that phase and moved on. You will too someday, you just have to realize that being 'goth' isn't expressing your feelings anymore then being a 'prep'.

Beautifully said. Unfortunately, like Josh, I need to spread some reppage before repping you again

[Stenners]

Totally agree with Jenessa, goths do bring attention to themselves and esp. dont like bad attention, every clique gets bad attention but Goths and Emo's always seem to feel victimised when other groups i.e. Chavs and Townies get way worse amounts at least in this country but they dont seem to care. Guess its all down to the type of people in these cliques at the end of the day and not the actual clique.

 

I also have to spread reppage

[Greyfoxx]

i think i MIGHT have been on there like a LONGGGG Time ago

 

 

Edit: MATT!!! How do we bring attention to ourselves?! We just dress and act how we want, and we dont ask to be apart of the "in" crowd, we just be us....but i guess that's frowned upon...to be yourself. Being Goth isn't what most people think it is....god i hate people always thinking goths want the attention... Some people, (like me) don't TRY to be goth, people just classify us as "Those gothic chicks" or some shit like that. Some just feel more comfortable wearing black ect ect ect. Society today won't let people just be themselves....they always want to group people up so they don't have to deal with peoples' individuality. It drives me nuts to be put in groups like Goth, Emo, Punk, Preps, Jocks, Nerds, ect ect ect. the list is endless and honestly i think this all needs to end....

an in group is so over looked

being in an in group doesnt mean yoo cant look like a goth or wear black

i know lots of 'popular' people who catagorise themselves as 'emo'

 

 

also being an individual isnt totally with the way goths dress, every clique has their own individualities not every lil circle of friends wear exactleh the same things

 

in some cases (from people ive known) goth isnt used as an expression of self though its used as a chameleon-method

 

its fitting into an image

an image of the people yoo hang with

an image of the type of moosic yoo listen to

 

and with yoor group thing and people not being able to express i think society now a days is quite tolerant with 'alternative' groups and people dressing and expressing themselves

and also with naming people...everyone does it...yoo cant get away from it realleh i think people realleh need to get over it

if someone calls yoo goth/emo/pikie etc and yoo know yoo arent, then whats the big deal 0.o

 

 

i dunno

Emmm, I must say I kinda agree with Foxx...I mean, what she's saying is not always the case but I believe that it is happening...

People are just judging others by their appearance too much...well, name them in this case...but, it's all the same...it's just bullshit! Modern society is really not letting us to act and be individualists...

Damn, I can't express myself right now completely...don't wanna think about shit world right now...maybe some other day...

 

Edit: Just to stick to the topic...I'm not a vampirefreak...

I just think it's a little ironic that all of the "individualists" dress the same...

[Stenners]

Foxx comeon u cant tell me that a Goth stands out less then a prep just like i can spot a chav a mile away.

[misery]

I just think it's a little ironic that all of the "individualists" dress the same...

Exactly.. all these people claim they're being so different and individual and non-conforming.. when really they're just conforming to another group.

[Stenners]

^^

 

South Park took the piss out of that to a tee with the dance episode

 

On another note catergories of people help us identify people otherwise we would have to describe them to death.

 

Instead of saying 'o hes very Indie' u will have to say 'He wears grey coats, red jeans and has curly hair he is very in that indie roc no floppy hair and the clothing is never dark so hes not like the kind of kids that are like a darke verion'' or 'She wears black, lots of make up to look pale u know' why waste a mouthfall when u can some them up in a group that resembles this things closest i.e. 'Emo' 'Indie' 'Goth'

 

Where as u could sum up the first sentance 'Indie not Emo'

[Greyfoxx]

no, people dress how they want then other people Group them together...I dont try to be goth, but according to about 95% of the school says i am....so how is that? do me and my friends try to dress goth? no. we just wear what we like and what we feel comfortable in....

[NoEnd]

Well if you ALL like what you wear, and you ALL feel comfortable then i guess YOU just ask to be grouped together.

 

You're just trying to make sense out of nonsense. And for the record, I wasn't trying to lash out on any "group". If people are grouping other people together then they'll see you as all the same. That guy in Montreal and the couple in Alberta, unfortuanately, are just giving goths a bad name.

I know that feeling too well.

It's called being classified and judged on what you wear. You can't stop other people from judging you.

[Vash_the_Stampede]

It's called wearing things to draw that attention to yourself.

Guys don't have to wear make-up, but they do. To stand out. And standing out means drawing attention to yourself. If you don't like it, don't wear the clothes.

Let's correct you there; Not all guys wear makeup

I do know plenty of guys that do wear makeup. A celeb to name who's a guy who wears makeup is Brian Molko. And that's individualism.

I never stated all guys do.

And, just because some moron celebrity wears it, doesn't make it individualism. It was only individualism when only one guy did it. Now others are doing it, so it's called 'Jumping on the bandwagon'.

[Rusu_luvs_LP_4ever]

Nothing is individual anymore, because no matter what, somone will conform to that trend/behaviour/idea/etc. Goths wear what they wear to identify with their group, nothing more then that. And thats the same with any group...so I don't really think it's intended to get attention from others, it's social influence.

Let me be the fourth person to wish I could rep you for this.

 

As for everything else, theres not much I can add since I agree completely with Josh and Jenessa.

 

Oh shit, Im conforming to their ideas!
