Why do Goths do this?

I used to wear almost nothing but black. Partially because they didn't get dirty so much and partially because they were almost always hand-me-downs from my older brothers, but also because I always thought I looked good in black. Some years back, I was at bar or concert or something and ran into a guy that me and my brother used to hang out with. He saw that I was still wearing black and said something like "atleast one of you is still wearing black." Apparently he had recently seen my brother and he was wearing a different color. Of course I informed him that it's only coincidence, I wear all kinds of colors now. It wasn't true, but now a days I do. Nowadays, I like bright obnoxious colors, even though I don't own many of clothes of those colors.

Anyway, I was never goth, but people always thought I was, because of my clothes. It always bugged me.

I wear black and I usually have a Led Zep t-shirt or something on, and the goths all grin at me. I admit my boyfriend knows them all (he's not goth, even in the slightest), but all the goths round here are so friendly it's a bit frightening actually. Maybe that's just here? They're the most affectionate people ever, it's like having a field full of black, makeup wearing puppies coming after you.

Yah, except it would be a bit of a misnomer, because I never have

I get this a lot-people are like "Wow you're really funny for a Goth" and such

I like to fuck with people's heads though-for instance I love MC Hammer,Vanillas Ice and such,so I love to put that on and start b-boy dancing...get a lot of confused looks.I have Can't Touch This as my ringtone and I get the funniest reaction when it rings on buses and stuff...he he he.

I saw this shirt and thought of this thread.

Oh I want one of those shirts RIGHT NOW....Im such a self-hating Goth

It's only $10. I put the link up there in case anyone wanted it, because I'm soooooo nice like that.

Goth girls make me jelous with their extravagant fashion options. I hate being limited to pants and shirts! Damn you penis!

...oh come on, you know I didnt mean it. Will you stop moping about if I take you to the sexy shop?

Ah it's because everything has to be grouped, it's useful to have labels for descriptive reasons, but i don't think i've ever counted myself as a certain "something" - i do things and thats what i do, don't care what they might be called.. It always happens when there is a trend / ideal to follow you always get the chilled out nice people and the uptight look down type people... it's the way of things. Stick with the chilled people and wait for the hectic people to learn / live / catch up... the people who roll their eyes are in the latter group me thinks... altho pretty much all the "goth" people i know are lovely and would never do that kind of thing..

Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

if i had been drinking something, it would have shot out of my nose.

fucking hilarious.

Now, now, let's not make fun of Goths too much, especially on SG of all places. Making fun of Goths on Suicide Girls is like making fun of fat people at a Weight Watchers convention!

No it isn't. I'm not goth...and I've BEEN to a weight watchers convention. Now...making fun of goths AT a Weight Watchers convention...THAT would be funny.

There would be some chubby kid dressed in black...asking how many "Points" were in "your eternal soul"....and how many "Activity Points" you can earn for pain & suffering

i wish i could be goth but it seems like alot of work

^ #1 reason why my warddrobe rarely wanders beyond jeans and a band t-shirt. I wish I could be a worshipper of dark lords, but time for clothes, hair, makeup...I'm not a morning person, I just can't do it. I think there's a reason the uniform used to be a big ol' shroud.

It really doesn't take that much work.

i see makeup and long hair, two things which are alot of work

Eh, not really. Takes about 5 minutes tops to do my hair and makeup.

I am not sure if this was mentioned but if one of those hardcore Goths rolls his/her eyes at you again you could recommend a good eye doctor to fix their eye problem

lmfaoooo!!! He was probably in his zone and by breaking character he would be a conformist- we all know how not cool it is to be like anyone else, lOl.

"We just got goth served."

I love the little glaring teenage Goths. I walked by one last Christmas, turned to my daughter and muttered, "Oh, look, it's Goth Barbie!" The look I got from the little Angel-of-Death-via-Hot-Topic should've burned a hole through me.

this entire thread has had me laughing so hard i woke my roomates!

my 2 cents

i consider myself goth at heart but most people look at me strange if i say that. I live in sunny ass FL and i think anyone who dresses the standard hottopic uniform goth is insane. I live in flip flops, jeans and t-shirts. and yeah a lot of them are black but thats cause unfortunately 90% of band t's are black. but anyhow, i love brigh tbold colors. i also love industrial/darkwave music, horror movies, books and comics, and vinyl clothes and bondage-y goodness. If that does or does not make me goth I dont really care. But I figure people are going to lable others whether they like it or not so the lable I feel comfy with is goth.
