don't worry about what people think. If they don't like what you wear then apparently their not your friends.

go to these websites and decide for ur self, it's up to u I have many gothic friends, some christian and some total oppisite.This look can lead to muck more, but being a parent while she is under your house u can control it for a short time. Plus it may only b a phase 4 her.

so far the majority of the people who have answered your question don't have a clue. it is beautiful in its own right. and the girl who wrote that goth and punk are way different is completelly correct. Personally, it suits me. but those who say it is just a phase, or for angsty teens, have no idea what they are talking about.

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.

That's Scary, When I was little we use to live in a house that was HAUNTED and I was scared to death. That "THING" was out to scare us fo real. I was so gald when my parents moved us out of that house. It sounds interesting, just keep looking at it and look for clues in your home or on the internet. The History of the house that you live in and what events has happened around your area. Maybe it's a spirit that has a connection with your home or an area that is around your home.

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.

I wrote this for a similar question.\n\nWell, Goth is, I guess you could say a subculture somewhat in the way that punk is. The "Goth Rock" scene took off from the Punk Scene the late 70s - early 80s. Goth is associated with specific types of music and dress. A lot of "dark" things influence the Goth culture; horror films, 19th century literature, romanticism is a huge part. Most Goths wear lots of black clothing, makeup for guys and girls, etc. Not all Goths are Atheists as many believe; they have many religious backgrounds, as do Punks. Punk, like I said is also a subculture. It started with the music of "Punk Rock" in the 70s. There are many different types of Punk scenes; they tend to link very closely with the music their scene is related to, in their beliefs, dress, literature, etc. All Punk scenes are really pretty different, though most people think of Street Punks with their Mohawks, boots, and studded leather jackets. No however, people who are not directly associated with Punk or Goth culture lump them together, mainly based on their ignorance of the said culture. I have heard people say..."I am so punk, I buy everything at Hottopic." Well, I highly doubt any true Punk would ever shop at that store. Also, you may have heard the, "If you say you're punk then you aren't." Actually Punks as well as Goths identify them selves as such, they know what they like and believe, and they wish to be associated with this culture.

Is just that people like to put tags on other people foe the simple reason that they cant be happy with their selfs..but im gonna tell you one thing.. I like to wear black shirts with jeans and just for the fun of it do my nails black sometimes , and my granmother told me that I'm gothic  and I simply answerd to her that when she learns the diffrence between gotlic and headband rock then we can to talk about it and she had nothing to say , which simply means or they are not happy with their selfs and thats why they critisize others or they just don't know any better!!!

It seems like you're arguing semantics to be, but here's my best guess.  Goths have a mindset that accepts death, while dark guys actually like death.

I think Goths are associated with "evil" because Death is a huge fascination for the Goth, as are vampires and anything else associated with bringing Death, and since most people fear Death, they assume anything enamored with it must be evil.\n\nGoths have this whole Victorian-Nihilist thing going on, all pain and poetry, and to an angsty young person, this is very attractive.\n\nIt didn't used to be just a fashion thing. "Back in My Day" (I love saying that!), you dressed like you belonged at an 18th/19th-century funeral because that era was very romantic, and you felt like you belonged there instead of here. Think "Wuthering Heights" -- oh, the pain, Heathcliff, the sweet pain!\n\nAnne Rice had a lot to do with it, too.\n\nSo that's my take, anyway.

Gothic couples run the gambit in terms a happiness, kindness, weirdness, ect., just like any other couples.  Both my husband and I are commonly refered to as gothic, and most people of our aquantence say that we're nice, albeit quiet.  Yet I know some that are completly disfunctional.
