Other A chat for my fellow goths and emo`s

It isn't a nice experience, is it? They tell me that I look like a lunatic, but I don't wear the makeup that I might have, my hair isn't dyed, I have no piercings, tattoos or weird jewellery that I would have worn.

My mom just had an issue with black in general. I had maybe one black dress for the longest time only cuz I used it for a funeral. Most my clothes was... girly... and I hated it... so I started complaining a lot to get my way, after so long of complaining and annoying the crap out of my mom I finally got more clothes I wanted. But she still didn't let me do the make up. And most my black clothes had patterns or something that ruined the look. She still d oesnt approve. One time I wore a choker collar with spikes in front of her and she said I look like a dog, and that someone should lead me.


If I had a boyfriend I would have said something snappy like "I do have someone and it's *insert boyfriend's name* and it's hot" but I didn't have anyone so it just insulted me more. So I was pissed off.
 
It's alright. I live with my dad now and I can dress how ever I want. Slowly but surely my wardrobe is coming along.
 
Hello, fellow goth for some years now. I don't care so much about dark clothes and make up, since its so much more then: "hurhur look at me, look how dark and spoopy I am.", its literally all about the music and thats it. Goths are called goths, because they listen to goth rock. The end. Theres nothing special what makes someone goth, really. Listen to the music and you're in <3 Honestly, I actually look pretty much normal but been listening to the music for a long long time now.

That’s not really the case for everyone. And being goth is so much more than listening to the music aswel. Because there’s plenty none goths who listen to the music. Not everything is the same for every person. For me being goth is not just music or fashion. It’s a life style! Which means for me I hafto do every aspect of goth. I’ve even explored some different goth types like pastel goth! Or royal goth! Or punk goth! I shaved half my head for punk goth.

I’ve eaten some crazy looking foods. A burger with a black bun! Black ice cream!

I’ve decorated my room in nothing but creepy things year round! Tho now I have more anime things.


I’ve been looking into the annual goth fest for this year!

I’ve redone my entire wardrobe to nothing but red and black!

While not everyone is as extreme as me and some minimalist to goth. It’s all about preference.

You don't have to call yourself goth, if you don't want to.

Yeah no, it really is just the music, thats how everything started. If you want to see more into it, hey thats on you and you're decision only. You don't even have to dress that way if its not your style. If you like it, cool, but its really not a must have to call yourself goth. But you do you, I guess. If you feel good like this and want to take it to extreme length, hell do what feels good for ya. Course' its about preference. Just don't think you HAVE to do this to be seen as goth or to be accepted by other goths. We'll also accept you, if you just like the music.
 
I’ll be dancing on my own I raise my glass to the stars. All my friends went home but I don’t wanna waste this song in the moonlights never ending glow I’ll be dancing on my own!






Let’s take a moment to appreciate these lyrics I been hearing everywhere. 😭 it’s so moving. Does anyone have any good songs that move the heart? Sad songs?


Also does anyone have any good rock songs they like to share?

I have this one interesting band I’ve recently stumbled across on TikTok who do “goths in ungothly places” and I now listen to their music ✨✨✨ their called 2shadows IMG_3604.png


Highly recommend


But if you’re looking for an emo song tony22 emptymind is the way to go. A friend of mine listens to it and I think it’s pretty neat so I do too
 
I have a wardrobe predominantly filled with black clothes, some chokers, chains and dog collars that I wore more often during school than nowadays, but it feels a lot harder to dress myself to that extent while also, say, looking for a job or not wanting people to look at you because you stand out quite a bit. A paradox of wanting to dress myself quite differently from the 'norm' but not wanting people to look at me; to instead stay invisible like a shadow blending in among everyone, a random extra character who is simply going about their day in the background of each person's story. It was probably because of social anxiety I hadn't tackled properly, and the (self-induced?) pressure of conforming, but my expression as a goth has definitely become far more minimalistic. I've only recently come to accept that as being okay, that I don't need to overtly dress myself in a certain way to feel a sense of connection to the subculture.

I've definitely been more fortunate in that my mother was more accepting of my fashion choices, and my father didn't at least lash out at me for it. Unfortunately, there wasn't really a local subculture for goth, emo, scene, metalheads (you name it) and it was definitely more frowned upon at school. I only knew two other people who were emo, and metal and rock music got you some strange looks. Liking something like anime or K-pop was also just a ticket to getting bullied, which I'm glad doesn't seem to be the case these days.

I'm not sure what this was. Perhaps a nostalgia-fuelled mini rant of sorts in response to the thread title? Either way, I hope people here have a pleasant day/evening :)
