Well, then I don't see the point of being gothic. How is it that wearing black and having logical views on life makes them gothic, but not me?

being how i am not goth myself, just a good friend of many goths. I cannot give a clear cut, answer. It is like I said different for each person what goth is. There are many people who dress, and think gothic but would not consider themselves gothic. Simply because they don't think they are one.

But what's the point of thinking yourself "gothic"? You are who you are, the only label you should give yourself is.... yourself. If anyone can consider themselves gothic, then what's the point?

Although I'm not gothic, i do like to wear black clothes (not all of them, mind you), and i hang out in the "Corner" of our school. At the corner there are goths, metalheads, gamers, lots of people that wear black, and general haters of the school and preppy people. I know almost everyone there and alot of them are my friends.

Hmm... okay this is what i would consider the general publics view of "gothic"
Usually dresses all in black, sometimes has eyeliner, nail polish, black hair. Spiked collar, docs or combat boots. Usually listens to metal or industrial. Bleak view of the world, good chance they are atheist or satanist. "goth" is more of a look then anything else, it just certain charateristics go along with it.

Oh man got to find this one site, it gives the stereo-typical gothic look kit. It is hilarious.

Yep, most people think of the sterotypical depressed goth. I know people that the general public would call goths but they are really not depressed at all. If there was any class of people that would be the most depressed, it would just be intellectuals in general.

lol, ya. I would not consider myself a intellectual or whatever, but i don't let anything cloud my view of how -blam!- up this world is. Which is one reason i went into my depression a year ago. It was my "gothic" friends that pulled me out of it.

Okay, thanks for all the views. Very interesting. But could we please get back on topic? Sorry, but I could use some views, mainly from Obbi, Surge, and Atsumi, plus Twtch666.

Nothing. When you know you are going to die one day, what is the point in trying to please everyone around you?

Oh and also seeing Therion, Symphony X, and Rhapsody in concert together. I could die happy then.
