No! There are in fact Elder Goths of forty and even older! Don't let anyone convince you it's just for teens.
darkness, wanting to stand out of the crowd and to be individual basically darkness being goth just comes naturally if you are a real goth
Of course they can. Goths can be any age, race, gender, etc. Anyone can be a goth, and nobody can tell you that you cannot be a goth. Being goth is a decision you make, just like you choose your religion, your sexuality, etc.
no just they are both consider dark and stuff
If you're the opposite of a goth or Emo (those are two different things by the way. They should not confuse them) and people think you are them, then they don't know what a true Goth is. It's a state of mind before it's a style. Just because you wear black doesn't make you Goth. Either way, tell them that they don't know what a true Goth is, and ignore it. Besides, you shouldn't be that ashamed of being called Goth. If your child feels that they want to be goth let them do it just NO BAD MUSIC!!!!
Not necessarily. Enjoying the same music as goths doesn't automatically make you goth. Goth is more about embracing a certain aesthetic, mindset, and subculture that goes beyond just musical preferences.
No it was not. The name goth is just a coincidence.
That is just the thing...you can't just become goth!!! It is a disgrace to "us" to watch people dress goth because they think that it is a fashion trend!!! Being goth is a lifestyle and it is taken seriously...we are not the next costume for Halloween!!! Goths are goths and there is no way in the world you can just jump up and say, "Hey I want to be goth." If you like the clothes that's one thing, but to change yourself completely??? Incompetent!!
it's okay to be goth Yes, of course it is. You are just expressing yourself, and being yourself. If people like you, they will accept that. it is best to be one's self. when you put on an act for others you will be eaten from the inside out.
She is not goth, she just has her own style. The way she dresses is not goth.
Being a goth. There is no secret goth cabal that goes around checking to see if you are a 'real goth' (and by the way there is no such thing as a 'real goth').Goth is a lifestyle , fashion, music .art .If you are interested in exploring the gothic subculture please visit Gothic Charm School. com wich is a vey helpful and friendly site created by a lovely lady by the name of Jillian Venters.This really isn't in my category of 'knowledge' but the kinda is something to being goth, that not very many people have. goth isn't all about wearing black, being dark and what not. It's something else, and i know im not goth, but that's how it is, its just like being emo, or scene, or retro. You can't just 'be' any of those you want if you don't fully understand it, or even know what it is, like, alot of posers these days are trying to be scene, emo, ect, when they even kno what it is.
no, being goth or emo isn't a culture.
A Didi goth is someone who has just become gothic, or is 'part time' goth.
