Goths are the new chavs (neds)


Never quite understood how they can be raging against conformity by all dressing the same way and listening to the same music!

You clearly don't get it.  They are 'Individuals'.  Boy goths often wear lipstick.  This may be Stead's excuse.

I definetly don't get it!

That's beside the point I don't understand goths, they all look the same!

As someone who used to be one of them (and still probably would be if Florida weren't too darn hot to wear black), I can tell you I (along with my group) weren't so much against conformity as we were (and I still am) against authority.


As for the attire, I think I found it to be more of a power trip than anything. Wear a black dress, a bondage collar and combat boots and you pretty much get instant respect just because people don't know what to make of you. It's quite nice actually.


Now, for the music, I've actually found goths as a group to be rather accepting of different music types. Yeah there are the pretentious ones (and those are the ones who b*tch the most, so they are usually what people use to base their opinions) who deem certain music "not goth enough", but the ones I hung out with listened to everything from industrial to 60's folk. Every see a goth rockin' out to Arlo Guthrie? Funny sight.


So *shrug* I guess I can't tell you. That's never been my experience with it.

Stead is a goth? *giggles* i want piccies! He sings really nicely and dosnt sound very gothy..


I remeber hanging out at this goth club in glasgow.. when i was wee, it was called 'the cat house'. a fun place! I even got a bar staff t-shirt from there.. hm.. not saying how i got it though i wonder if its still open.....

It depends on the authority that is being imposed I suppose, perception is reality after all.

*coff* Andromeda clearly must be a goth... look at the amout of posts hes made! Posts: 666 *giggles*


Being gothy has changed alot since I hanged about that group i think... they are becoming alot more um... unacepting? For example if you go into a goth chat room these days you get banned if you dont use black text.. or if you say you like some non-gothy rock band. Its kinda sad if you ask me. I totaly agree with Andromeda.. myself and all my friends when i was in that group loved alot of different types of music and we didnt all just wear black. As being goth becomes more mainstream i think more people use it as an excuse to be violent, and group together in rather pointless factions. Most groups of this type now i days i dont really see as any differnt then neds or any other group. They pick fights with other groups, only lisen to there own type of music and genrally think they are better then the other groups. Its like Mod's and Rockers all over again...


Um.. i'm talking to much
