UR Opinion on Gothic's

[Stitchface]

As a gothic myself i have made this thread to discover ur views on people like me who r using the armageddon server.

If u HATE goth's can u send me a reply into why u hate them.

And if u LIKE goths reply of wat ur favorite band is and why u think goth's r not to be hated but respected.

If u r a goth talk to me on the armageddon server so we can battle and have some Gothic chat.

The trend will never die as it already is.

I see goths as attention seekers. They try so hard to be different that they go for the most outlandish and try to shock people. Interestingly, from a report I wrote in psychology class on gothics it seems an overproportionate amount of these people come from abusive childhoods (physical emotional and sexual). I just hope they can get the help they need to realize they don't need to be like that to be different or to have feelings of self worth.

I find that South Park's description of Goths was dead on, at least fitting the way goths at my particular HS. They try so hard to be "nonconformists," that they attempt to acheive this by acting, talking, and dressing exactly like their friends or other goths. They even tend to listen to certain music just because, it's goth music. I personally am against the way people get labeled in HS, and in communities in general. Just 'cause someone dresses a certain way they get called prep, goth, skater, punk, jock, nerd, and other annoying things.

my opion on goths if i want attention i will try and get it others ways than lookingand smelling funny.

they all smell funny

As a Christian, I honestly don't know much about goths except that they think they have magical powers from worshiping nature or satan or something, and even that may be wrong. I do not hate them, but there is no love lost either. Like cs_zero, I kinda just avoid them.

wow...

I understand I'm a newb here. But I have this discussion MANY times before in other fourms and venues.

Goths just like to express themselves in that way. once upon a time I used to be a bouncer for a club that had "Gothic nights" and that had to be my most favirote of all nights to work. Hardly ever a fight (I think maybe two in the three years I worked there) and though slightly emotional I found most to be very kind.

all in all though it's just there thing. not to compare but It's the same with Jocks/gays/Lesibiens/Cheerleaders/Band Geeks/Gamers.

there just happy that way (though it may not seem like it sometimes) sure there trying to be diffrent. But isn't most everyone in there own way.

[EDIT]BTW some Goths may make it seem it's about anti-Religion But I have Seen plenty of Christen goths to know better[/EDIT]

[Machin Shin]

yah, I never think of them as violent

those ppl would be hippies, not goths.....i think, stitchface would have to answer that one.

[Duffman]

I have a question. If goths are trying not to conform why do they all wear black?

Thats does not make sense! Why would a 7 foot wookie live with 2 foot ewoks? THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!!

machin shin, i am also a Christian, and i was a goth too. it depends on your definition of "goth," if it's just the look or some of the beliefs that go along with being a goth. my definition was dark clothing, dark music (albeit Christian (if you want to know some good Christian goth bands, talk to me and i'll find you some)), and stuff like that. it's not a plea for help, it's not to get attention, but rather just another way of "finding youself." problem is, i wasted a bit of money just trying to look goth, it wasn't worth it anymore. the only goth store around me is hot topic, and that's an hour away.... if i had the money, i would look goth again, but it's just way too expensive.

everyone that said something mean about goths should look at themselves in retrospect and see how they are different, not just in clothing, but in speech or music preference, stuff like that. are you doing it just for attention? if you are, then i would change my motives if i were you.

personally, i love goths. they are great to talk to! most are just really deep into their own emotions and they understand what they're feeling, unlike people that just go around, sucking their thumbs, wondering if the sky really is falling.

off topic: is there a reason why none of the servers are working? it's really annoying, i just want to play! haha.

[Megabyte]

why oh why did u revive this topic? someone move it to the GD section.

[Damion]

just to piss you off megabyte

hey! since we're still on topic.

Gothy Flash Funnys Warning: harsh language.

thats a juicy NSFW for some of you more savy folks.

I don't know what these boards are about, I just found this through a google search, but I have to say goths are well, I don't really see the point. I guess ideally they are the type who will right the music, the poetry, the movies, the books, but there is no reason to put on the eye make up, the all black clothing, the looking scary type of stuff. I mean, I'm one of the real non-conformists. I'm a libetarian nerd!

Owned. I personally like labels, they give you a sense of belonging. I mean if I'm a nerd, that means I'm smarter than the others which means I'm going somewhere! Yay! If I'm a goth that means I have emotional trama, which means I can be some kind of an artist! Yay! If I'm a prep, that means I can go into politics yay! (BOO!!! LIBERAL SLIME!!) If I have no label then I'm going no where! Yay! (just kidding, that means you can go anywhere)

So I like labels, I've got my 1337 group of nerds calling themseleves such, and everyone soon stopped calling us nerds as an insult.

[stryker]

Goths. I don't really like you, but i don't hate u either. I think they are kinda scary and weird, but that is my opinion and doesn't make u bad or anything.
