DESPERATLY SEEKING OTHER GOTHS

my sister is goth. she loves Metallica, iron maiden, ACDC, led zeplin, motorhead, black sabbath (Ozzy osbourne), and loads of othas. she can play the electric, acoustic and bass guitar. The drums and a bit of the sax. she has 9 piercings and 4 tattoos.

Well, ( This is a joke) You HAVE to own a pet raven, and you must walk it 3 times a day. You must shop at hot topic. ...har har.

i have clothes from hot topic and like placebo but im not a goth......and dont goths wer long leather jackets and black lipstick and white faces?

Omg. Im going to shoot the next person that asks me if im goth. No, im not goth, im a music freak that happens to dress differently then anyone i know. But i know there are people who seem to dress like me. Sheesh. Im not a depressed cutter who thinks the only thing worth living is for pain. Im not someone who braggs about who i am. Im not in it for the style. im not in it for the drugs. Im jsut. Me. And well, im a music freak that likes my own shit, and if people call me fake because i dont know A band that they know. Then omg, condem me.

goth isnt just about wearing black. im not goth. i love pink. i only wrote on heya cus my sistas are goth...... not me..

Goth is a subculture. Thank you for knowing that.

I listen to bands like:

Epica
Nightwish
Lacuna Coil
After forever
Nine inch nails
Maryilin manson

Apparently, this makes me a 'goth' when i go around wearing blue jeans, black shirt and despise piercings etc. (apart from ear stretchers, love the buggers)

*Shrug*

You're all trend wannabes and it's pathetic.

I think it's sad how you guys label yourselves.

Greenday isn't goth at all...?

i dont like labels...not at all....often times they end up permanent and prevent people from being themselves and i think its really messed up. just because i wear black and i like bands like Cradle of Filth, A Perfect Circle, Kittie, Marilyn Manson, Tool, and Norma Jean etc, people tend to shut me out as soon as theyre done labeling with no thinking invovled. its like an assembly line for them, 'do you wear black? okay, can i get a goth label over here!?! next!' basically labels suck in most cases....i understand trying to find people with the same mindset, but even with 'goths', thats still shutting people with a different label out and generally its not fair...

It just cracks me up that you can try to call yourself 'gothic' based upon bands like Linkin park.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to be insulting or anything - but i just find the whole sterotyping and association children put on music taste, hair length, general attitudes humoursly pathetic.

Most of my friends would claim to be 'gothic' so i wouldn't take me to harshly to try to bend me :p

I would say that Gothic was a word really that is used to describe anyone in life who doesnt conform to the regular. I like rock music but nobody calls me a goth, because in our region you have to wear black, and paint your nails to be a goth. I personally feel that everyone is who they are and you like that or you dont

It's spelled "desperately"

i hate stereotypes too...i mean i just dyed my hair black and i wear all black and every person i see calls me goth cause i dress in black and im far from goth...im serious and its starting to piss me off......to be goth dont u have to like only belive in sin and the devil? i dont know but whatever......

You call for a goth? How may I help you?

I'm as "true" as they get, hun. What's the question?
