Goths ARE pretty scary with their unoffensive and unoriginal style and their Bauhaus listening ways. Teehee.

That made me laugh. lol.
Yes imagine that.
There are a lot of people that I know that begin to act very antsy (sp?) on just hearing the word "goth". I saw that happen today. *sighs*
Oh well. Scaring people intentionally is fun though. :P

I could do that last part.
All life except goth life, that is.
But we're basically excluded anyways.

"With a purpose full of malice
And a terrible sound
They pull the spitting
High-dentured wires down.
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream to God as they look in on them.
Oh no, they say they've got to go
Go, go Gothzilla!
Wee-oooow!"

And people say our subculture is stupid.
Without us, there would be no "The Hills"!

It probably wasn't even goth kids... maybe a few, but I bet most of them were more artsy-fartsy, alternative, beatnik-ish, or kind neo-hippies. Just because they weren't dressed in bright colors with blonde hair and giggling for no reason doesn't mean they were goth.

Rich, preppy "normal" kids get lots of media attention when they commit crimes, too, but it's more of a "I can't believe he would do that! He was such nice, wholesome Christian boy, and Captain of the football team. I don't know what happened, as opposed to when it's an alternative type person, "He was so weird! He must have been a Devil worshipper. I bet the music he listened to made him do it."

gang-bangers. The fact that I had protection helped me to sort of deflate them with an utterly blase' attitude.

I fucking hate these people who just assume that anyone who dress different (mostly in black and maybe a bit of eyeliner <_<) MUST be worshipping the devil or some shit like that. And blaming the music he listens too! oh hell no! he did not just say that! Argh!!
Oh so a kid that goes around listening to Rap music talking about living a hard life in the ghetto selling drugs and getting shot at blah fucking blah is ok? and they don't assume he will grow up to be a criminal selling crack to kids etc etc.
hmm uh huh. yea i can just see him right now. Walking down the road with his baggy jogging bottoms half way down his arse because its teh fashion (who wants to see that!!?!?1) with his mobile phone blaring out some shite music, walking with his distinctive cripple limp, talking like a tard which makes you want to scream "talk fucking normal you cunt!" with every syllable he comes out with.
I must stop before I break my keyboard for pounding it with rage. but you get my point.
Wait what was this thread about again? Oh yea the blonde girls. Lawl thats funny stuff. *sigh*

I removed my blade because someone heard it had it in there and told fucking everyone and their brother... 8|
Nice, though. Skulls are too cliche. B-)

Mine had no special adornment. It was just a survival knife (the kind where you can stash fishing line and hook and matches inside the handle, and was a saw on the back edge of the blade) I picked up somewhere. It's the 12" blade that made people pause.

"Everyone in the room was kind of gothy, and we were the two blonde girls in the room scared out of our minds. I ran up to her and said, 'Will you please talk to me'"
...What was she afraid of, exactly? That a goth would try and speak with her? Or that they'd all band together and try to sacrifice her to Cthulhu?

I must say, that last link posted is quite cute.
As for the original subject of the thread, I am tired of people fearing that which they do not understand. Why can't people simply accept that there are different kinds of people in the world and move on? Or better yet, if they are truly so interested in goth culture, why not do some research about it? There is plenty of material out there. I am truly sick of people judging me because I wear black eyeliner, and own shoes with skulls on them. I am not going to go on a killing spree at some school or mall, I do not cut myself, and most importantly of all, I am a human being as well, and I deserve respect, no matter how I look, what I am interested in, and how different I am from others.

Ahem I'm sorry if this is offending you but I don't agree with you here.
You actually think a chav is going to think "hmm maybe I should research some stuff about the person I'm about to call names at/ throw this can at/ trip up etc etc before I do it?"
I don't think so!
Thats like saying Goths should research about chavs before you despise them. oO
Nah it's alright I would rather not give two shits about a chav or why they act the way they do. My head needs its space for things I actually care about. Nothing!
XD

Hey, we all have our opinions. I was just voicing mine. I think that hate takes too much time, and energy, especially when it's toward something you truly don't understand. For me, if I don't understand something, I either accept it, and move on without further judgment or comment, or if I truly want to understand, I'll research it a little, and maybe I'll discover that I have something in common with whatever I'm researching, and any prior misunderstandings would have been proven as just silly. I think that people get to strung up on everybody else's differences, and blow everything up to dramatic proportions. If people weren't different from each other, the world would be one boring place, so why is it so hard for people to enjoy other people's differences, rather than simply hate them on the spot?

Let them keep ph33ring us and posting bogus news stories everytime some whack-job goes postal in America. Keeps the scene alive and pushes up ticket sales for all gothic/industrial events across the world.

I agree DeathToLems, people CAN jump to conclusions about anything they don't know about. I know exactly what you mean, my whole family is that way. (Except me of course)
