Goth Teens
Are you or any of you friends Goth Teens? If so, are you or they given strange stares or left out of events because of the way they look?
Being gothic does not mean your mean or a trouble maker or satanic or anything like that. Being gothic just means you dress a particular way and listen to a particular music or hang out with other people who are like you. It's not much different from other groups except for the fact people think your evil or you wear mostly black. I myself am a goth but I wear the same clothes as everybody else and I still listen to my music all the same. Gothic is just a statement.
I am a so-called goth myself. I usually dress in black, but it's not a rule. I choose my clothes according to my moods... and these fluctuate. I listen to gothic music because it is one of the few music-styles that really appeals to my senses. It strikes a chord inside myself and I find it utterly melodic and sensitive.
People often stare, shocked by the gothic appearance. In my opinion, the gothic movement is being pointed at and accused of different flaws due to its originality. Nowadays, what's anti-mainstream is considered to be weird, abnormal, not-to-be-accepted.
I have nothing against other lifestyles, I don't reject other kinds of music ( real music, I mean) and I respect diversity. That's why I asked to be respected aswell. Isn't this fair enough?
I don't think most "goths" know who or what they are. True goth culture IS satanic. But most gothics don't do stuff like that, they are mostly just wearing black and listening to Metal. Nothing really harmful there. I do hate it though when they are "depressed" because a lot of them, really aren't. It kills me because I have depression and I hate people who think its fashionable.
