black_tutu One of my so-called best friends noticed how I'm really into the goth culture and she told me that 'all goths worship the devil, you can't be goth and not worship the devil'. And now she's talking about how I'm not a christian and I'm such a bad person to be a goth and whatnot. Sad thing is, a lot of people side with her. Ignorance is bliss, but not to those of u who have to put up with the fools enforcing it.
Yano, that seriously peeves me. I was reading in m Gothic Beauty magazine [[I find it quite interesting XP]] that tehre is a gathering for Christian Goths coming up. Not every goth isn't a Christian! Hell, I know a gothic Hindu!! eek I do know a gothic Christian, she is one of my best friends in the world. Saying all gothic's worship the Devil, is quite frankly, the stupidest thing I think I have ever heard been described of goths.
fallengrim It's funny when people make up stuff about goths because they personally can't understand it. My mom always invites me Christmas shopping because everyone moves out of our way, when they see me coming. biggrin
rofl, I get the same reaction. When I walk around the lake with my mom, there are always guys hitting on her, so I walk with her, everyone is quiet. It's quite nice being able to make ignorant -inbred-drunks shut up once in a while. |

I heard a most ridiculous description from a bunch of jocks from our rival school. This conversation took place at the local mall, more specifically, the food court, acouple of tables away from my friends and my own table. They had to whisper, but very loudly, to avoid detection. This failed.
Jock 1: "Dude. There's some of those goth kids."
Jock 2: "Yeah, man! I heard that it's all one big cult, or whatever."
Jock 3: "I heard the same thing! And to get in, I heard that you have to eat a heart."
Jock 2: "No way. They totally have to go to that Hanson guy, and like let him rape you!"
About this time, me and my group of friends from several tables have already plotted against these jocks. We make a circle around the jocks without them noticing. We then begin to chant jibberish. Coordinated jibberish, but jibberish none the less. They started freaking out, and screaming things like don't kill me, and such. It was very fun. Now, if people start talking nonsense about something they know nothing about, we just stand up, and look out of the nearest window. It works best in our mall, because we are in a large group, and most of the ceiling is windows.

Bakurish My friends are afraid of my tripp pants. well, Lydia and Kelsie are. they said that goth people at our school meet up in the baseball field after lunch and chant s**t, and I just stood there, staring at her like "WTF are you talking about?" because our school has no baseball field.
It's wierd, I live in this tiny little town in the middle of nowhere in NY, but there's quite a few kids here that dress 'goth' enough. Nobody ever bugs us or anything, and a lot of us are good friends with people outside of out socially 'defined' group. This strikes me as very odd, because it's a really small town, and all the other bigger places I've lived in had kids that would stare and back away. Not to mention you can't walk ten feet in a mall around here without seeing some sort of punk/goth/emo(-slightgagatemoposers-) kid just walking with a bunch of friends who may or may not be dressed similarly. Then again, the security guards ten to stop people like us more often and ask "Are you with an adult?" anytime after four on Fridays and Saturdays.
Damn mall curfew...
The only thing I've really come across was the kids in my elementary school class. It was the same kids for three or four years before I moved, so they knew me before I was 'goth'. They always bugged me about it as a joke, but they were almost proud of me. It sparked a few resentments over the years, but we were pretty tight-knit and got over it by the time I left. I was the resident 'gothic girl' of the class, and now I'm gone...which is a good thing, because the next city over was pretty bad, and all the ghetto kids were like encroaching on our town. They made gym class hell, but that's another story. |

GilAskan Okay, so, it can be said pretty easily that there is no unified definition for "goth". No two goths seem to agree on the exact boundaries, however, most of the definitions overlap. Every so often, I'll hear people bring up "goth" in conversation, and I'll hear what everyone thinks. You'll hear the typical "goths are people who worship satan" and whatnot, but have you ever heard a truly wierd definition? Something that's just completely out there? The wierdest I've ever heard was something I overheard on a bus. The person talking was absolutely convinced of his definition, which went something like this: "Goth doesn't actually exist. The media just made up the whole thing a few years ago so they could have a catch phrase." Plausible, I suppose, been then it started getting wierder... "Yeah, the station who invented it got a huge budget from the government to make up a fake subculture and pay people to dress and act like it. The media claims that the culture has been around for like 30 years, but they actually just made it up in 1998." Pretty odd. So, share what you've heard from other people about goth. Wierd opinions, defintions, etc. |

well, of course no goth can agree on the true definition of it! because we are ones who like to show INDIVIDUALITY and DIFFERENCES. Simple as that. |
