Because they represent dark and hiden stuff - even in the way they dress, when you look at them it seems like they call themself - dark.\nAnd dark has always been scary, so, i wouldn't say discriminated, but i think we try to avoid them.\nI'm a very positive person, and i don't enjoy the dark point of view, not from them but from anybody.

Well, I cant help you there.\n\nBut I'd like to say, It's nice to see a fellow goth on Yahoo. Alot of people think you cant be religeous and goth. Those people are fools. Just ignore them. (n_n)

You speak as if the need for employment and money doesn't exist.\n\nI am Goth but I can't wear all the cool stuff I want, pierce my parts and cruise the clubs every night like I always dreamed.\n\nI have a job. A place where a non-goth majority has over ruled certain communities.\n\nSometimes Goths can fall in love with a non-goth and we don't want to scare them away so fast.\n\nWhen it comes to your soul you are either Goth or not. \n\nThe clothes, piercings and even albums shouldn't speak for the way you feel.\n\nEither you have Gothic thoughts or non-goth thoughts.\n\nI have no clue what "im part goth" is.\n\nIt must be frustrating.

They like music about feelings---which is what mainly sets them apart from goths. Ususlly if they are true Emos they will dye their hair black and make a patch of red. Thats usually the best way to distinguish them from normal people.

Perhaps you are referring to Vlad the Impaler? I think he was the historical basis for Count Dracula. He might have been Romanian or Transylvanian.

Goth is a kind of music that has developed subgenres--and therefore, it has become its own subculture.  It has nothing to do with Satanism.  Goths can be Satanists, but they can be of any other religion, too.

Your lifestyle may not be acceptable in his generation. Goth isn't a kind of person, it's an identity tool, and we need them (especially in our teen years) to help us seperate ourselves from our parents. I wouldn't bother trying to make him understand anything. He'll either get it or he won't. Fighting him on it will probably make things worse for you. Just act naturally, like yourself, and if you continue to be a good person and look however you want to look, he'll wise up and treat you like a person again.

Not all preps hate goths. My best friend is prep and I am goth, but we get along fine.  Her friends hate me though.  They say I am 2 depressing and they hate my style of clothes.  I guess we r just 2 opposite peoples.

The other day I looked in the mirror and saw a goth. She was wearing a suit because she's a grown-up now and does not go to clubs and shows and cemetaries as much as she used to. Goths come in all shapes and sizes- I just wear my fishnets on the inside these days. Maybe you passed by a polite looking business-woman on the street the other day, not knowing that she was listening to The Mission UK on a blacker-than-her-soul iPod.

Of course, though they are fewer in number and so much harder to find . They went into hiding centuries ago as Christianity worked to destroy them.  And, since belief in them is a major prerequisite to faerie knowledge, very few will ever glimpse them again.

Short answer: The Roman Empire was destroyed by rebellious barbarian peoples living WITHIN the empire, especially the Goths and Vandals.\n\nOver all, the Empire was a huge success story and went from strength to strength in civilizing the Western world. Many historians believe that there was no social and moral decline leading to a fall. The idea of decline and fall, they say, is a straw man (fake argument) based on later writer's sense of social standards. Like "Dude, those Romans were like so unrighteous that it was totally karma that they just like had to SO fall to pieces".\n\nWestern barbarians were forced into alliance with the empire because of pressure from the Huns. The empire's structure allowed for self-governance as long as you paid your taxes and sent recruits to the army. Tax revolt time!\n\nThe Goths rose up and crushed the Romans in the massive battle of Adrianople in 378. And then burglarized Rome in 410.\n\nThen the Vandals (sort of the old Carthaginian empire Part Deux) under old King Gaiseric built up ginormous naval power  and politely arranged to visit Rome in 455 and steal it blind (as agreed, no killing, no torture, no knocking down buildings). \n\nIn 468 the eastern empororer Leo suddenly realizd, "Hey those guys knocked down the whole west side of the empire, so go git em boys" and sent an armada (1,000 ships and 100,000 men) down south. Where the Vandals promptly destroyed the fleet and captured the army. So in 474 the empire said "okay you win" and signed a treaty of just one word: "Uncle!".\n\nPlague and back-and-forth battles with the Vandals, Goths, Franks and Lombards, plus civil wars and internal treachery pretty much made the empire give up the Western part of the  empire and stick to their knitting back in Constantinople where they lasted another 1,000 years.

because they probably know someone that is goth but faces real problems and they want to fit in or, some people just like the feeling of being depressed, and some just want attention. they are all lame as fuck to me...

And you might want to consider that some goths are christians. All because we are a goth does not mean that we are evil. Plus there are now glitter goths out there. We wear colors..so we are called glitter goths. So which goths are you talking about, the original goths or the glitter goths?
