I couldn't have said that better myself.
I know what alot of you are saying though, and how there are different groups of gothics.
Gothics that are only out there trying to be scary; people out there who think they are gothics because they wear a black coat and listen to Marilyn Manson; "I hate the world and the world hates me - I slit my wrists" typical gothic teenage stage, etc etc...
The list is endless, yet all gothics are not complete fuck ups like alot of you are stating.. but obviously, not in those exact words. I hate the way some people meet "the gothic sheep" then claim them all to be like the rest... I fucking hate that.
I'll be with some friends, and they will introduce to me to someone and they will automatically say "Oh, so you like Manson too?".. I get that
all the fucking time.. Of course I screw my face up and say no, but the point is a fuck load of people think that gothics are all the same, and they
ARE NOT..!
I cannot stress this enough people!
I do not dress gothic to impress anyone, to fit in or what not...
I don't even know what you would call my dress style, but it probably does fall into the catagorey of 'Gothic' because I love medieval clothing such as the beautiful satin and lace dresses, the long silk skirts with the trails, corsets and waspies.. and I do not spend hundreds of dollars in clothing just to be 'cool' or with the 'in crowd'.. I do it because I love it and it's who I am, and I could not be more happier than what I am today.
My point is, is that not all gothics have the same personality, we are not all doing it for the same reason, we do not think the same nor do we feel the same. Alot of gothics are beautiful, intelligent people, and have something important to say..
they are worth listening to. So, do not just open your eyes and complain about the way they look because you do not even know them. Image
IS NOT everything.
