swarm Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 what is being a goth all about. i'm sure it's not just about sitting on the townhall steps sulking or hanging out in grave yards banging on about how anti-establishment they are. please, any goths out there let us know.

foxycoxy Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Nope its not really about either of those things, but some of the munchkin types seem to think it is!! I could be classed as a goth but as I've grown up I've stopped dressing so extreme etc. I think its more to do with the music you listen to and your view on life. I for one have never really been angsty or acted depressed because its "what goths do". If this means then I'm not a true goth then I could just be classed as plain old "wierdo":hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carpetviper Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 What makes me laugh is there saying of not wanting to conform to society and be an individual. Makes me wet myself laughing they all wear black and act all miserable they have the best uniform and set of rules to abide by than any other social group I know and they have the cheek to call us clones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CockneyMafia Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Gothic subculture has always had a certain pejorative quality, maintained more by visceral teenage angst and a need for social identity than a fondness for the works of Horace Walpole. The ubiquitos 'Goth' whom one can observe dragging their feet down Division Street every Saturday afternoon is nothing but a by product of a sad stereotype. It should therefore be noted that wearing a Fields of the Nephilim T-Shirt and thinking you are a re-incarnation of brandon lee does not make you a goth. It makes you a ****.

foxycoxy Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Meroveus - I agree with you on that one. On the whole the older goths do tend to be much happier and polite. I have always managed to strike up conversations with more goths/alternative types who are a little older than me, anybody who is my age tends to either be emo or so "up themselves" with really elitist attitudes. I am only 25 (26 on Hallowe'en) and very friendly and non-mopey! Whilst I dont dress as a goth the whole of the time I still think of myself as being alternative (in dress sense, music choice etc).
