gothic

describe gothic in your own words. .

some people always misinterprets the word and it is quite annoying. .

they always think that it is just a fashion statement. .

so, if you really know what it means, hit me back with a post. .

i am not really into gothic... but it seems to be really intersting and i think that it is really cool and unique... it is dark and creepy...hahaha...! being a goth is not only wearing black, playing metal songs, and screaming your heart out... it is the feeling of being alone and there is no one to help you...

that sounds more like emo to me.

I'm not really sure what being a gothic actually means, but one of my managers was a full on goth and she was into mythical things and was an active follower of the pagan faith. She was actually a priestess in that faith. I don't know if that's got anything to do with it

Metal isn't goth, not even gothic metal

Goth genre's include...

Goth rock
Post-punk
Deathrock
Darkwave

and goth isn't about loneliness, ordinary people can feel lonely, and goths can feel lonely but its wrong to assume all goths are that way because some may be.

Goths, in terms of their membership in the subculture, are usually not supportive of violence, but rather with tolerance. Many in the media have incorrectly associated the Goth subculture with violence, hatred of minorities, white supremacy, and other acts of hate. However, violence and hate do not form elements of goth ideology; rather, the ideology is formed in part by recognition, identification, and grief over societal and personal evils that the mainstream culture wishes to ignore or forget. These are the prevalent themes in goth music

it a load of crap classic rock rules

boooo get off the stage

erm i think there will still be emo as long as there are goths its kinda like tea with milk cant have one with out the other
