my sis and a guy told me how i am sinning by being gothic. i dont understand whats up with that! i am still a muslim…its just that i listen to a lot of dark metal music and wear gothic makeup, black clothes and i shut myself often in my bedroom. does that make me evil?

hey, when i go out and whatever,
i like wearing black clothes, whenever i go anywhere, black clothes, black socks and shoes and whatever, i listen to metal music.
but i hate emos, ive never cut my self or felt depressed and i dont beleive in that satanic crap.
does that make me anything? or just some guy who wears black.

My son is nearly 17 and he’s become into the gothic scene and likes to hang out with this group of kids who are into it and tries to sneak out to clubs and such with them. I don’t like the way he’s dressing either, it draws so much attention and I wish he would just be more normal. He’s started to always dress up like a vampire, wears the black clothes and dark sun glasses, and even got these vampire fangs and weird contact lenses. His world is becoming more and more a fantasy and I’m afraid that he’s going to start confusing fantasy with reality. He also only likes read books about Vampires and Satanism. He and I have always been close and he’s a very sweet boy but he won’t listen to me in regards to this. I also don’t want him to influence my daughter with this stuff (his fraternal twin sister). I first started noticing him becoming interested in this stuff after my father/his grandfather died. I had my twins when i was very young and my father was very close to him since his real father was not in the picture. Anyway, what should I do? How can I get him to drop this and the whole vampire role playing act as well?
it may just be a phase but I just think its becoming a little too much because sometimes it seems like he actually really thinks he is an actual vampire

I just can’t seem to figure out why all the "goth" types I meet are overweight? Is it a requirement to join the club? Or do black clothes and eye makeup just make people look really heavy? Or do black clothes weigh more than regulare colors?

im indian, dark brown w/ black hair and black just happens to look really good on me so i like wearing black nail polish. im not a goth or anything, and im slightly emo but not really, no one would label me as one. i like to wear lots of black eyeliner but i think it looks really nice on me. again, i wear black clothes sometimes b/c i look good in black and its slimming

black is a trend, or was a trend, but i’ve always liked to wear it. however, i’ve been feeling hesitant lately as im starting college now and im worried that i’ll be perceived wrong. my mom hates when i wear it, she says that she doesn’t want ppl to think that im "ruined" or "spoiled" b/c good girls don’t wear black nail polish. but i am a "good girl", im playful, i smile a lot, and i laugh a lot and im really studious. do you think i should scrap wearing the black nail polish? i can’t bring myself to stop wearing it but as soon as i step out of the house, my confidence in it just drops. help!

I am more of a "read far to many Victorian stories as a teen" than a "I want to listen to thrash metal and look scary" type goth. So why do men still get put off by my look?

I am kinda loud and very forward, kinda clever and very independent… But could the goth thing effect how I date?

Why do men get put off by it?
Erm, I do know the term came from Germanic origins (etc) but I am using the word "goth" in the social context that modern society knows it as.

I am not an unread idiot. Also, goth is a type of architecture and books etc.

Stop trying to appear clever by talking down to people.
And I know what type of goth I am, I state so. I don’t need to be informed as to what I am. I wouldn’t be it if I hadn’t had some conscious thought about it.

Goth girls don’t smile? Damn! I must be doing something wrong… I smile and laugh all the time, I’m always telling jokes.
Wow. Chic… Perhaps when you learn how to use grammar and spelling I might listen to your lame arsed advice.

Stop staring at the goths at your school and try actually reading instead. Like, education…
I don’t "act dark" and I don’t "keep to myself."

I just like black clothes!

i like to waer black clothes,jeans and high heels.i have dark brown hair,light skin and wear black eye make up.i dont wanna change my style but i want to avoid looking like a goth…can you help????

Ok, one day at school Joe walked past me and said "Hey emo goth girl." I don’t know if that was an insult or what. But I punched him anyway. Ok, so I listen to Cradle of Faith, Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for my Valentine, AFI, and such. And so I use black nail polish and ware nothing but black clothes. But I act normal. Sort of, and now everybody is calling me that. It’s really annoying, so how do I get the bitches to shut up?

i love love love black clothes but im not a goth at all or emo. i want to wear black clothes but i don’t want ppl to think that im goth or emo. so any explanation do u think that if somebody weared black is goth(or emo) or not???? it all depends on your answer!!!!

i am thinking of turning goth because i always feel alone and sad and black suits my moods. Then i read about the culture and the poetry and art and i was atonished. That type of character suited me just completly. But i don’t have a lot of black clothes in my wardrobe so i figured to ask you. What type of clothes do gothic people wear. I researched on all typed of goth and i like the romantic goth at best. But everywhere i read poeple say diffrent stuff and i got confused. So please if you can tell me some outfits that romantic gothic girls would wear. Thank you
