You need to feel goth to be goth. You don't have to dress goth, or write goth. You have to be someone that thinks about death and sorrow and the dead. In fact, a goth could live his/her life without ANYONE knowing that he/she is goth, except for themselves. It's about being goth inside. But if you really want to get into goth alot and you can manage to dress goth without your parents freaking out, then go for it!
Being accepted by others that identify as "goth". I can't speak for the whole world, but as long as you're good company, pretty much every community will accept you. But in your particular case, it will help to wear black, to like the music, and to have some thoughts about classical topics of philosophy.
A goth
People turn to goth for countless reasons, the same as someone decides to be Christian, gay, celebate, etc. Turning to goth is not a last resort, or like deciding to break the law, or move house... it is a decision that affects that person's lifestyle, and can have great impact. Reasons could be faith, boredom, style, interests, friends, etc. The only way to know why people are goth is to ask them individually, as neither goth nor reasons for being goth can be generalised and used in terms of all those involved. also and for me to hide somthin huge embaressing or to hide in the shadows
neither marilyn manson and slipknot are goth. marilyn manson is associated with mall goths or spooky kids, and slipknot is a nu metal band. however, you can totally be goth and listen to these amazing artists, you just have to listen to real goth music in addition to it such as the cure, the sisters of mercy, bauhaus, and siouxsie and the banshees. also, goth isnβt just music taste. itβs an aesthetic, a lifestyle, a way of thinking, and a general preference for dark things. hope this helps xx
yes but if you are not goth dont ask because if ur not then why be. i am goth so keep asking me these questions ------------------------------------------------------- Being Goth is a lifestyle, for others a phase. Many Goths enjoy life (contrary to the stereotype.) So, I suppose being Goth would be 'fun.' I have been called Goth so I would know a little about it.
An eco goth wears black and thinks green. they are goth like you know but they care for the environment, the planet, and anything else living. they still do spells and the very eco eco goth will go through thousands of herbs and spices a year. eco goths are kinda like Wickens except no chance of them being evil!
A Didi goth is someone who has just become gothic, or is 'part time' goth.
no, being goth or emo isn't a culture.
No.
Well there could be many signs. Yes nobody knows if vampire are real. Here are some signs: Pale skin, unusual eye color,goth clothing, great urge for meat, allergic to garlic. These are SOME signs! If you want more you could Google 'Characteristics of a Vampire".
Yes because goth is the earlier version of emo so they are the some thing
well i guess a lot of people consider satanism goth but i dont think being goth has much to go with religion...
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
It's because they want to be 'Cool' But there are NOT. That's called being a 'Poser'. Ask them how 'Goth' started if they DON'T know they are Not Goth, If they Can..... Well They ARE A Goth!
To call someone gloomy/depressing would be to call them "kurai" but "goth" would be pronounced "gosu."
There are 5 questions you need to really think about before you should say if your a goth or not. Do you have a large circle of non-Goth friends? How do you feel about being stereotyped and criticized about being a goth Do you enjoy: dark colours, black and white makeup, writing poetry, strange music? would you defend another goth even if they were REALLY weird and u hated them? How long have you thought about being goth, or felt different from everyone else? if your answers are like: no, fine, at least 2, yes. you could be a goth. you really need to think about the last one. Goths are Goths you ether are or your not. there's no changing that.
Goth's don't have "breeds" They have many different clasifications. I have been told that there over 150 different types. I know of very fue. Vampire goth PunkGoth- The original goth AngryGoth- Get very mad easely tend to hate everything WannabeGoth- Tend to be younger children (12-16) who are still looking for there school Clique In reality there is as many "breeds" of goth as there are goths Because being a goth is really about being an individual and being yourself.
U really cant get someone to be goth its in ur personality u have to live and breath goth only wear black be "emo" and live the life style.
