Shadow Mercy, Misery Whispers, and Lord Mercy

Pretention and goths go together like English pubs in summer and warm beer with wasps in.

it's great. everyone, when they're young, tries to be accepted by being different to everybody else in the same generic way. i kinda did that in my GCSE years when i became a "grunger" as opposed to a "townie". then i realised, hey, who cares, this is all bulls**t. just live your life with as little pretension as possible. don't try to brand yourself as unique by the clothes you wear, or the music you listen to - it's all about personality.

 

Heh, correcting someones spelling of the word Boot, then mis-spelling it in the same sentance, heh you can almost feel the irony bite....

TBH Goths (the younger species, not the ones emzays going on about) annoy me, I know alot of goths, and I know alot of chavs, I am neither (punk/skater/layabout) and tbh, I know alot of nice chavs that are normal, but wear chav clothes, but I have never known a goth thats not arrogant and annoying, and tbh wireframe all your posts prove my belief, your correcting spelling mistakes of people because you cant think of a better way to disagree with there arguement, Goths are all conformists to, they just conform to a different set of rules, and they then assume there special because of it. Would you take the piss outa someone who called themself goth, but wore white/random coloured normal clothes, and not black/goth clothes, I bet you would...because there different...also goths seem to push there beliefs on to you more than Jehovahs Witnesses do (no offence to any JW's on here )

Yea, I know, I know.

Look, don't start it again. If that's the only thing you noticed about my posts then we're both failing at something.

I believe they are called "Perkygoth" and no, I wouldn't. Actually, I don't "take the piss" out of anybody. I don't participate in chav bashing or any other type of bashing that is unwarranted because of a lifestyle choice.

Yea, I see Goths banging down MY door to convert me to gothic-ism?

 

don't worry wireframe, i understand. you're different - just like everybody else.

hey, can you hear sheep?

 

i used to think i was a goth then realised i was being daft. oddest 9 months of my life

but now im me

 

No, just you bleating.

 

Woah! Handbags at 20 yards ladies!

 

*waves mock-crock bag*

Don't make me come over there!

 

I like wearing black because it is my favourite colour (or absence thereof). I do not consider myself a "goth", "mosher", or any combination of those so-called "lifestyles". I consider myself an alternative because I am simply me, and no-one else is me. I don't tend to do something just because someone else does it.

The people in that article are sad, misinformed weirdos. It makes me laugh.

 

For a start those kids aren't goths. They do not conform to The Rule of Goth #1: The sign of a true goth is always deny, deny, deny! Back when I was a goth (I don't admit it often, make the most of it) I'd bottle anyone that called me one. Basically, if you say "I'm a goth" you aren't

I do find it mildly comforting that all towns in the UK are now catching up with Reading. We seemed to have a worryingly high number of mini/pseudo-gothlings for years. Good to know every town suffers now

BTW did anyone see that Spine Chillers episode called "Goths"? Tim & Grish having matching "individual" tattoos made me giggle

Not sure how to take that, but it has offended me

 

Don't know what is worse in Blackburn - the scallys, or the little Slipknot-obsessed ****s that hang around on church street on weekdays instead of getting a job.

 

Someone should organise some 'battle royale-eque' type thing and pit all the mini moshers/mini goths (no not real goths..) against the chavs, in an equal war, then hopefully they can almost fully kill each other off, and the ones that survive, are obviously worth keeping alive to be 're-briefed' on life...

I can see it now, 'white lightning grenades' vs studded belt whipping
Jagged slipknot CD's vs been garrotted via massive hoop earrings
Crappy white nova's vs a battilion of 12 year old skateboarders that can...ollie...

damn.. i guess then by default im a goth cause i wear all black and listen to "dark" music... guess im going to hell

 

well that's what the kid in the article said pretty much. i think you should feel offended that the slipknot kiddie with mascara tears drawn on his face said it (no doubt in an effort to look believable within his 'scene', and not due to real beliefs), and not that slater333uk repeated it

the fact that one of the kids decided to dress like a goth because he saw some other kids dressed like that outside mcdonalds, and thought he should do the same cracked me up the fact that changing the clothes he wore then instantly changed his opinion of marilyn manson is just icing on the cake

i don't take the piss out of people for trying to fit in with a particular crowd... i just take the piss out of people who are stupid some of these kids get it so wrong that i'm sure real goths would be embarrased to be associated with them... some of them seem to think that acting like a charicturised stereotype of what they wish they were is the way to go

anyway, the one goth i ever really knew i went to school with. she wore black (usually jeans, boots, tshirt), no makeup (at all, ie no day to day make up most girls wear, and no black lipstick/eyeliner crap either), she listened to rock music mainly (not slipknot etc, more like bon jovi ). in fact she doesn't seem to be like these goth kids at all. maybe she wasnt goth, maybe she was just a real individual? one thing that she had in common with WireFrame was all the moaning though

im quite happy being me. i have clothes that are chavtastic (ellese, lonsdale etc), i have clothes that are skatery (vans, airwalk etc), townie stuff (firetrap, ben sherman), hell i even have a threequarter length leather jacket. i can dress up as any youth culture stereotype i like depending on mood, my wardrobe caters for all crowds (though a pair of emo glasses would be quite cool to add to the random collection )... lucky i'm just little old me on the inside and the clothes i wear don't dictate who i am eh? i mean think of the psychiatrist bills tbh.

/me is currently looking chavtastic atm in a pair of comfy trackie bottoms and a tshirt.

 

Ah I thought it might be. I couldn't bring myself to read much of the article. Cheers

 

Sorry bout that Hex i just think that kids pretty funny!
