Goth: This culture was comprised of INDIVIDUALS with very little in common but their artistic drive, insatiable curiosity, extreme intellectualism, and the socially unacceptable need to be and express themselves. A few questions for "Goths"...

Why black? How cliche'. Of course you would pick black, it's a sad color. If you really want to be different, you know, an "individual", make up a color. Perhaps a lighter shade of grey?

How different are you? Ever been to the mall? You people are the majority. It looks like the "Real Slim Shady" video. And that can't be! If your "society" is so hellbent on being different, why are you all the same? Tootsie-roll sized earrings and fishnet clothing. Not a single one of you has a black sombrero, all-weather flip-flops, or a 4-finger ring. Look around, how much of an individual are you being? How really different are you? You hate "us" because we're all the same, giving into "the man" and being controlled by corporations; but exactly how AREN'T you being controlled?

Why such delusions of grandeur? Your not doing anyone a favor. Not even yourself. Stop thinking that your a part of a revolution. Your a poison to the American dream. Every little Pablo in Mexico dreams of growing up and being the head of Microsoft, so fuck you. Who are you to say that it's wrong to join the rat race? You wouldn't be allowed to act the way you do if it werent for this countries great democracy, so stop bitching. History books wont remember you, society doesnt give a damn what you, I, or anyone has to say about it. Do like everyone else and go to McDonalds and ask for an application, but please, remove your white face paint before cooking my burger.

All talk, no balls? Whats with the self mutilation? Does it really feel better? Are you so upset that you need to supplement your shitty life with a scar and an infection? Lets see: I lost my job, my dog just died, my grades are terrible, and NOW I have a blood stained carpet and gangreen. Hmmm...? Think about it, since your all such philosophers, romantics, and whatever the hell else you self proclaimers tend to think of yourself; how much sense does it really make? Besides, why exactly are you cutting yourself? Attention? I mean, you wouldnt want one of "us" to see it and take you to a hospital or mental ward where "the man" would try to brain wash you, would you? And if you are really trying to kill yoursef, your a fucking moron. Your wrist is definitley not the spot of maximum blood flow. If you really are trying to kill yourself, wouldnt common sence tell you that the neck is just northward? Or can't you pierce through the 3 1/4 inches of scrap metal you have around your neck, not to mention the spiked dog collar...jackass.

Why are you so "random"? (real people)- ever noticed how everyone considers themselves the most "random" person in the world? So what, you come out of no where and say shit that has nothing to with anything. This isn't a good trait. It shows lack of thought process, disregard to topic, and overall lunacy. Why be a jackass everywhere you go? The middle-school pranks that you pull in Wal-Mart are a sign of the attention hounds that you are. Yes, everyone is looking at you; is that what your "culture" is all about though? Being the center of attention? TRUE philosophers like Socrates, Plato, Marx....would they consider themselves "random"? Did they ever speak, act, think, off the topic at hand? Think about that.

How such the experts on life? Over the years, scientist, philosophers, critics, ect. All having IQ's way above....well...."black" have debated the meaning of life and reason for being. How in the hell can a group of internet-made middle school kids with black bell bottoms consider themselves poets, thinkers, and visionaries? If I had to guess, life wasn't created so that we could all fight the powers, destruct rather than build, and wear all black. You jackasses, look it up, Goth isnt even assigned a clothing style! I read the fucking definition, White is also acceptable. Ha Ha, I guess you have a lot to learn.

Goths are not heros, romantics, leaders, visionaries, philosophers, individuals, freedom fighters, role-models, or even useful for that matter. Instead, they are hypocrites, conformists, dependants, and overall dumbasses. They don't know a thing about what they represent or fighting for. They would be better off grabbing a bong and sitting in a van to join the long-gone hippie revolution, at least that takes much less thought and commitment.

Thanks for reading. Hope you get my points. And I apologize to any "Goth" that may read this, but let this motivate you to do some research, look into the future, and realize what your doing to yourself, your country, and the world at large. Turn on CNN and tell me how many members of the Supreme Court have 2 Guage earrings in.
 
wow you are so right..i cant stand goths at my school..some1 needs to let them know that its not always holloween
 
I don't know if all goths are trying to be freedom fighters, romantics, poets or whatever. Not every goth is trying to make a political point. People use clothing amongst other things as non verbal stimuli that influence specific interpersonal responses. Goth means different things to each follower. Most young 'goths' have a mentality of "I want to be left alone but I want to be seen. I want to see the shock on other peoples' faces."

Whether we are 'goth' or not, we all use clothes to make an impression of some sort. Why be so hard on goths? Not every goth is into self harm. plenty of people self harm for varying psychological reasons.

maybe you should lighten up on people who see the world a bit differently from yourself.
 
^ the ones who were in my school were like that. They were all into poetry, they were complete assholes, only nice to eachother, they were all horribly ugly. they all thot they were such intellectuals and they were above the rest.

"Do like everyone else and go to McDonalds and ask for an application, but please, remove your white face paint before cooking my burger."

AWESOME!!! LOL!!!
 
how many goths did you guys have at your schools??!!!

but come on...surely the goths wern't the only people that thought they were the shit. They're just the easiest to identify.
 
thats was pretty goood, the one thing is i think all the poeple you see out dressed up are all posers...i don't even knwo if there are some real ones anymore...i think any real goths would be around the age of 20-28 , if they are any younger they are atomaticaaly a poser, because thier movement started gaining popularity for the younger people..... i guess there could eb soe real ones...but i haven't seen any in ...in since i was in grade 9 whihc is like 6/7 years ago.
 
I'd just leave the goths kids alone if I were you cuz you don't want to be on that one crazy kid's kill list when he open fires on your school campus.
 
well until I read this I was goth, now reading that made me sad so I am now Emo. good thing I dont really have to change my wardrobe too much
 
do you ever watch south park? they make so much fun of goth kids and their idiotic hypocrisy. check it out. by the way, nice rant
 
they are just trying to rebel and get attention as far as i am concerned, its like hippies that all have dreads, because they dont shampoo... they small like shit, there are lots of biodegradable shampoos, and if they dont want to shower because it wastes water... maybe get in the shower, turn it on, get wet, turn it off, soap up, then turn it on again to rinse, and looky here, you had the shower on for a total of 45 seconds. lots of people in this world all work on having a certain image so they can fit into a demographic, its all about knowing that if you dress a certain way and pretend to have a certain mind set you will always have a group of people who you will fit in with. so if they are that insecure that they need to go through the effort of putting on a shitload of makeup every morning and need to pretend they are pissed at the world then let them... they will either figure it out on their own, or ruin thier own lives.
 
well, i decided enough was enough last weekend at the mall, and i began writing little by little monday night.
 
Wow, buddy, hit the nail on the head there.

Fallacy number 1:

Are you considering highschool goths only, because most people i know who are into wicca or paganism, or kink nights. hardly dress in that fashion. In fact most of them you would never be able to notice them. Nor, do they like marilyn manson or korn.

Fallacy number 2:

You are basing these opinions on assumptions only, maybe some of these kids just happen to LIKE dressing that way. Or LIKE the feeling they get from it.
 
honestly, i think thats bullshit. i know 2 kids that used to be goth (one i was friends with, one i jsut knew), but changed back to normal kids. the only thing thats changed about them is that they wear different clothes. the one that was my friend had friends that werent goth and was pretty popular, he never cut himself, doesnt have any artistic drive or whatever the fuck your talking about. i think you, and alot of other people, make huge generalizations about goths. i agree that SOME are pretty fucked up, but theres some "normal" fuckups as well.
 
heres what pisses me off... is all the goths who think they are original when in fact they are like EVERY OTHER GOTH they all think they are so unique but there not, especially not anymore unique then jocks, or preps or any other cliques (sp)
 
i hate goth kids like this:

Worst part about NS, people hating on someone elses style and life.

Let them be who the fuck they want to be. Grow up. I am tired of 'emo this' and 'goth that'. Let it go, and live your own life.
 
my favorite is when i see a goth person with a t shirt that says "you laugh because i'm different I laught because you're all the same" yea STFU
