i want to be Gothic. I love the music, the hair, the make up and the color black=). If i bought clothes from Hot Topic would that be considered being Gothic? Where should I shop for the clothes if Hot Topic isn’t the option?

Ok well i really like rock and roll and i feel that if i dont wear all black then i shouldnt be listening to rock and roll
also i want to wear clolred clothes but im scared that all the people goth/emo people i hang with will start talking about me

what do i do?

Okay, so for a while now i’ve been wanting to paint my nails black.
I’m NOT emo or goth, i’m kinda preppy sceneish i guess?
idk i wear skinny jeans (not neon ones) and shop at places like abercrombie, hollister, pacsun.
anyways, i really like the way Lauren Conrad has her nails, but i need a way to have my paint my nails black with out looking emo.

how can i change that?
rings?
certain clothes?
bracelets?
omg, get over yourself.
seriously, i asked a question.
just answer it with the correct answer.
i don’t wanna look like a freak, because where i live all the little freaking emo girls wear black nail polish, and i would NEVER want to look like them.
so, go back, and actually read my question before you answer it.

i’m looking for pictures of african american emo/scene/ or goth kids, i’m not either i’m more visual kei and decora…….but i am interested in seeing what more people of ethnic backgrounds look like in colorful hairstyles and clothes!

Girls with blonde hair or black hair tend to have a more "edgy" and "rock n roll" look about them.. but even with the right clothes.. i dont think i can because i have brown hair. I wasn’t planning to change my hair colour but how can i look more kinda… not really punk or goth… but like.. "rock n roll" maybe?
Any makeup i could use to make it work?
HELP PLEASE!

I’m in 8th grade, and I’ve been listening to industrial, metal, punk rock, Darkwave, symphonic metal, and Gothic Rock since I was 8 years old (thanks to my older brothers friends) I do have a small nose stud that I got in 7th grade, I love reading , horror movies, and I’m obsessed with the paranormal, and have always been drawn to morbidity. I am happy and hyper, and my mom bought me a whole bunch of abercrombie clothes in 6th grade, and have to keep them till they dont fit, which should be until a few months. So do you think when I am a bit older, it would acceptable for me to wear more gothic clothing.

I am not a angsty wannabe. It’s just I want to be able to express my love for music through my clothing. I know that sounds dumb, it is just because without listening to music I would probably just wither and die. Music is so important to me, and I don’t wanna dress like everyone else.

PS I did say when I was a bit OLDER, and no. I am not EMO.

Be as detailed and complete as possible. I am invited to a Goth themed prom (It’s a charity event being thrown by my school’s art department), and I wanted to know how I should dress for such an occasion. What makes "Goth" clothes, what is modern Gothic, etc.

I’m always the vampire
But I need something else… something creepy and perfect.
I have the makeup, some good clothes, and gothic jewellery.
How can I make it come together? What can I go as?

we grew up being friends in grade school. but for a long time up till about 8th grade we didnt talk or even act like friends. i was at freshmen greeting day and we walked and talked for a long time with none of that weird silence and i thought i would really like to date here and now on the first day of our freshmen year she doesnt acknowledge me or anything we even have classes together and still nothing. what should i do. she is miss popular and everybody is her friend and she is beautiful. i have like ten friends that im not really close to. im pale wear black and white or black and red clothes and am called the goth kid. do i even stand a chance. oh and Nine inch nails is the best band ever

like my ex boyfriend that i dated at the end of the school year started telling people that i was goth….but every one said i didn’t look like it. only a few people thought i did…i just don’t like bringing attention to my self so i wear darkish clothes and some colorful stuff. but i have a boyfriend that doesn’t and wouldn’t care if i was emo or goth. and it got so bad that it went from goth to emo. and some one had went up to my friend and said "oh my god, did you know that miranda is goth, emo, and that she cuts her wrists?!" which none of that is true. and then a guy in gym did that cough thing where you cough and say something and he was lie "cough emo! cough cough" and then the next day this guy yelled "shut the f*ck up emo girl!" and it made me cry cause it got so bad. and my teachers had forced me to tell them. what can i do? cause people keep spreading it around and half of the 6th grade knows…and i’m in 7th! please give advice?
