i cant wait tilll saribous gets a hold of this thread
Hehe
First of all, saying that all Emo's look and behave in a certain way is just plain ignorant. There are people that listen to the music but don't dress Emo-ish, and vice versa. Not all Emo's are depressed and they don't just sit around cutting their wrists all day long.
Second, who cares? Let them be whoever they want to be, mind your own business.
i like this one:
If you didnt want attention why in the hell you you make yourself look like a corpse!!
Seriously, is it really so hard to realize that some people might view the world different from you? Goth is, as far as i'm concerned, centered around the subject of Death. It's just people with a general interest in death. It's no different from any other interest one might have. And no, it isn't morbid or sick to be fascinated by death.
I myself have many friends that are considered goth (they themselves don't give a shit about labels) and I have never seen one of them "dress as a corpse" as you say. Dumbest comment I've ever heard.
wearing black funeral-looking clothes
Yes, goth has strong influences from 18th clothing. And if you like a particular era, it's natural that you'd want to look that way yourself, no? That's the bottom of it, they just want to look like that. To say that everyone that looks different is just looking for attention is (again) very ignorant. Get over it ffs
Prejudice is bad, people!
