I'm kinda scared now, a couple of those things apply to me eek egads! I'm mallcore!! *runs around in circles screaming* unclean!! uncleean!!

There is one that a lot of people can't really avoid though, which is the angst thing. XD Almost everyone experiences that.

Now no offense to anyone who turns out to be a "mall goth" but here are the basics as I have experienced.

*Mall is god
*Tend to wear GOBS of Hot Topic gear (I don’t have anything against Hot Topic, they just buy everything in the store)
*Tend to have horribly done make-up (I’m talking they would fit in at a KISS concert)
*Have a serious Gothier than thou attitude
*Generally know nothing about the gothic cubculture
*Try to live up to every goth stereotype out there
*So full of angst that when you walk by them you feel dirty.
*Tend to call thouse who are actually gothic "poseurs"

Mall Goth as stated by some quiz


Personal example
Code Name : Angst Boy

Now I work at a shop in the mall and literally every day this boy walks around the mall. He has been dubbed “Angst Boy”. His clothing concists of black pants, white shirt, torn black shirt over it. The way all of us at my shop see it, he hides the shirt from his parents and puts it on when he gets to the mall. His hair is a sad fauxhawk. He constantly has headphones on and no music. All he does is walk around the mall. He NEVER goes in stores. I have seen him walk the mall for over 5 hours. He always seems pissed and full of angst. Oh and his make-up is just wrong. Every time I see him I want to tackle him and wash his face. Now I don’t mind a design on the side of the eye but if youre doing to do it, take pride in it and do it nicely. It looks like he grabbed eyeliner and had a seizer. Ok I’m don’t. I could rant about him all day. I hope that helped explain Mall Goth.

awsome....

Like I said, "having one or many of these traits does not essentially make you a mallgoth".

Mallgoths usually have 9 out of every 10 of those. Even the most legitimate goths usually have a few from the list.

GilAskan--Damn, I love your signature.

I've been thinking about getting alot of wrist bands. I've also been deciding what to get, lol. I've wanted leather guantlets for so long. I just want to cover my forarms and most of my hands.

We have virtually no 'goths' were I live. Their are plenty around, just never in the city I live in. If its possible, we have even less 'mallgoths'.

To each his own; I myself wear the same leather wristband every day.

I consider that highly unlikely, if not outright unbelievable. For just about any environment, there'll be at least 20 mallgoths for every goth, if not, more.

Haha PS. Your makeup sucks...that's good.
Yeah I always thought a mall goth was someone who dress goth only at the mall where they did it for attention.

There's nothing wrong with Hot Topic--they're the only store that provides some of the cool stuff.

People obsessed with being goth are not goths. It's not something you try to be. I think anyone who says "poser" is not an original human being.  

[Loki Iago]

PS.

That chick in the second post looks cool to me. A little bit over the top but hey, kudos for originality!  

[Icy-Determination_020]

lol... I like this thread ^_^

It's more the fact that these children wear only Hot Topic gear. And not just that, but tons of it.

It's overkill.

 

[Quillvore_Doomfiend]

Has anyone ever said "hey" to these "angst boys" walking around the mall?
Maybe he just enjoys the mall.

Also, they only wear it because it's Hot Topic. If other stores sold the Tripp bondage pants, the mallgoths wouldn't wear them. Mallgoths wear Hot Topic clothes not essentially because they like them, but because it's what's sold at Hot Topic.

well thats one thing i learned from this topic.. im defintately NOT mall goth
