Goth [stereo]Types

An excellent little website! I abselotely loved it, it cracked me up.

I especially love the Baby Bat, Cyber-Goth and Hippie Goth descriptions.

Oh I know that artwork. I think that is Trellia's work, she does the goth stereotype pictures and she is on deviantart. I'm so happy they made a site for the stereotypes. I love her artwork.

It's pretty cute, but a metalhead isn't a Goth.

Tuskiyo, this site isn't really a store, but thanks for the suggestion. However I never buy Gothy or cybery clothes from outside the UK since I'm only a trainstop away from Camden, which has everything from The Black Rose to Cyberdog and roughly 8 or 9 other Goth, rave and cyber stores.

I'd agree, but it was included probably as a attempt to clear up the constant confusion. A lot of metalheads dress like Goth's, and I've even met one in first year of university who got assy when I said he wasn't Goth (he wasn't listening to anything apart from metal and rock).

But on the other hand, the two groups do have enough similarities (particularly in a tendency to wear black and a love of things dark and spooky)

Last time I checked, us metalheads weren't about the spooky, more about the BRUTAL, EPIC, and POWAH!

But I see what you mean, it tries to resolve the issue, but instead just leaves it ambiguous, one of the main differences included should be;
"The key difference is in attitude, metal heads tend to react in a more aggressive manner, rather then the considered passive manner in which goths (except rivet heads and baby bats) will react.

I.e. If someone was to insult a metal head the typical response would be:
"Come here, so I can rip your arm off and beat you to death with the soggy end."

Where as the goth my respond, often with a clever witticism or such."


Well that aside my oldest sister could be described a corp goth, however I'm slightly disturbed by the fact the male corp goth image looks like me at work.

Also is it slightly wrong I can put each member of my family into the appropriate category on that site?

My best friend is a metalhead. He always wears black (apart from his jeans) but there is no way in hell you'd ever mistake him for a goth. Ever. Observe, Willy-

Quote:
Visual Kei bands vary hugely in sound. They can either take the form of heavy metal (eg. Dir~en~Grey) or something more like cheesy Euro-pop (L’Arc~en~Ciel, Malice Mizer)


Is the way Dir en grey is typed and the fact that she said L'arc is visual kei and that Malice Mizer sounds like euro-pop part of the joke too?
