he called goth and emo "cults", a cult is something you get brainwashed into, not one goth that I know has ever been forced into being goth. Now, if you don't find that she called a subculture you are (apparently) involved in a cult offencive, that's your opinion, but I for one find it disgusting that it is allowable in the media to spead yet more lies that aren't researched properly.

Actually, cults never brainwash you to get you to join. You join a cult voluntarily; any brainwashing that happens comes later. Also, most cults are harmless and do not involve any brainwashing or other negative policies. The image you reference for cults is nothing more than a stereotype.

Ironic, eh?

The girl in the picture is a character from an English soap called Coronation Street, she isn't a goth in real life. Her character had a storyline where her and her boyfriend become goths. They never cut themselves or anything like that. All they really did was piss off their parents.



They are not goths anymore.

the girl in the photo is an actress in coronation street ( a british soap ) who acts like a goth

*proudly waves the St. George cross flag* English too here (man are we in a minority within a minority) 3nodding

Ahh, I don't watch Corrie, I heard about that story line too, kinda pissed me off when I heard they went "normal" again *le sigh*

Yup. Also, to add to this, a cult is any religion in which its members receive justification through ceremony. In other words, a religion where you get into heaven (or some such equivalent) by taking part in a certain ceremony or ritual.

Catholicism, for example, is definitionally a cult: to get into heaven, you must preform the seven sacrements. Islam is also a cult: daily prayers towards Mecca and a once-a-lifetime trip to Mecca to go to heaven.

Cults are neither good or bad. It's just that the word cult itself has gained negative connotation.

Sorry, but I just couldn't finish reading it.
1) I have homework...
2) You know how many times a day I get this "black=goth=deppressed/cutter s**t? You know how many damn articles I read about it and stereotyping and anti goth/emo/punk/random subculture? It's really *BEEPED* up....
3) They're freakin ignorant and I don't want to hear what they have to say.
There only good for the weather, stocks, and random Hollywood stories that i don't care about.

Okay, I need a deffinition of "emo" bands. It seems like EVERY BAND goes through an emo period were they are called emo by certain people. here's who i've heard been called emo...(some)

green day
my chemical romance
the used
taking back sunday
hawthorne hights
DUDE?!? how do you compare my chemical romance's song "to the end" to taking back sunday's "make damn shure" together and say both of them are emo?????and MCR isn't emo!!!! niether is green day! the closest green day gets to emo is bolouvard of broken dreams "where the city sleeps and i'm the only one and i walk alone"

i'll finish reading it later.... stare stupid media....I'll have A LOT more to say when i've finished the article....*gives article weiter the middle finger*

I posted a comment on it, I spent like 10 minutes doing it, what a ******** idiot ( Parents Beware of EMO CULT ) wtf. I hope it posts, look for a comment by "Just another teen minority".

I am not clicking that link. I know all about the BNP, I rate them right up there with the KKK, and my computer is NOT going to be infected with any of their s**t.

These are the same people who want the 'pakis' deported and spout tripe like "wogs begin at Calais" (meaning that everyone who isn't British is a filthy mud race -- their lingo, not mine). I've had the misfortune to meet some of these ********. They sometimes have little swastikas scrawled on the backs of their hands... for which I'm actually sort of grateful, because it makes them easier to pick out and stay the hell away from.

If you think their crap about goths is bad, you should see what they say about the Hindus. It makes me want to vomit.  

[trampyre]

HAAAAAAAAAAAA oh man

I'm on VF and we got a bunch of bad press there because of that guy that was a member and went to school and shot up a bunch of kids. Every paper was like woo, he's part of a gothic website, they must have compelled him to do this.

It was really lame and there was so much traffic on the site I couldn't log in for the longest time x.x

Some people are so stupid.
