    It is in the respect that they know what kind of reaction it's going to prevoke. It would be just as simple to not wear the tshirt or not dress like a goth, but they do it anyway.
    Yeah OK so they hang around in groups, but loads of teenagers do that

    Yep, and everyone hates the other main group even more: neds.
    I also think a lot of people follow different fashions etc, but I dont think it means theyre going to be embarrassed about it when they get older

    Practically everyone is, regardless of what group they fall into.

    Except neds that is. They seem to dress like fannies their whole lives, then pass their sub-standard way of life onto their shithead kids.

    I'm willing to put money on the fact they shout "goth" 'cause you wear white clown make-up and have green hair :razz:

    The other week I was out and wearing very dark (almost black) Religion jeans with faded patches, one of those black belts with silver pyramid things on, a jean-chain, white and red Diesel trainers, a black Thomas Pink shirt left open at the top and bottom, and a black tie worn loose.

    Even though I was wearing pretty much all black, how was any of that gothy?
    I think the point I'm trying to make is it's not just goths who get depressed

    Noone ever said it was. The stereotype is that all goths are depressed, not all depressed people are goths.

    Though the way they shuffle around from side to side with their faces tripping them all the time, it's not hard to see where that stereotype came from.

    Actually no. We live in Wrexham where they think the Rasmus and Linkin Park are hardcore heavy goth music. All you need to do is wear a little black to get it shouted at you... seriously.

    I used to do the whole black and white make up thing, with fishnet tops ect when I was younger (the first in my town) and what did they shout?

    "FUCKIN' HIPPY!"

    i wub goths. wait... i do?

    proper goths tend to be pretty interesting, not doing all this hanging about in graveyards shite and smoking clove ciggies... get a real hobby. cutting yourself doesn't count, but just in case, do it properly or quit being a fucking tryhard loser.

    You're really sick. That picture (which I won't quote) is absolutely horrible. I know, I know, you'll accuse me of being too sensitive or some such but seriously that's just wrong.

    I think it's something that would have been better off not posted.

    But hey, it's only a joke.

    Such a shame that some people have to go and joke about things like that, when they should damn well know better.

    Agrees. I think the picture was a bit much to be honest. I just didn't want to say anything before as I'm too soft.

    Precisely. I had to leave a room at a party because people were pretending to cut themselves and I couldn't handle it, but in fairness they didn't know anyone there would be bothered by it - if you know people here cut, and you have enough common sense to know that could be triggering, then for goodness' sake don't post them!

    No, I agree. That picture isn't something that should be shown on a website like this.

    Add me to the list. The picture disgusted even me, and I never did that.

    LIGHTEN UP, FAGGOTS!

    Like I've said before, if shit like this bothers you, how the hell do you manage in real life?

    I bet it's people like you who start online petitions and write STRONGLY WORDED LETTERS to companies like French Connection, telling them their 'FCUK' adverts aren't suitable 'cause it's far too close to a... NAUGHTY WORD :eek: :(

    If they're so anonymous, how would I know where they're meeting?

    Erm.. just my two cents..

    Goths are very misunderstood. Not all of them cut themselves and dig graves, or have picnics in graveyards. They are just people who have been shunned for being diffrent, and therefore they create their own group, with their own indentity, [black clothing etc.] and are then classed as a goth. They live with it, and thats how it is. They are just misunderstood. They don't want to die, but view death as a beautiful thing, which it is.

    [Cutters can be anyone, you never know, it could your own bestfriend for crying out loud, it isnt a goth thing]

    Everyone just calls them names because people are afraid of something diffrent, of change. You have to go to the other side to tell wheter or not it is greener, my point being that dont just sit there and diss them, you don't know or understand them.

    On a completely unrelated topic, my friends and I were having an interesting discussion. Are there such things as Gothic Asians? Most people say they are just wannabe's. Anyone got an explanation?

    fucking hell, talk about being oversensitive!

    a lesson in life:

    someone somewhere right now is making a joke about things you think are bad.

    people make jokes about VERY sick things, it's human nature, we're just relatively intelligent animals after all. and yes, people i know have made jokes which have cut perhaps a little too close, but you do have to realise it's just humour. admittedly it's not very pc but if you're always pc then you're obviously a very boring person.

    which leads me to jokes about anything... if you're gonna delete things about idiots cutting themselves then you can delete every other joke in the world as they all rely on someone being 'the butt' of the joke.

    and don't try to argue as you know it's true.

    and again about goths... i just found a perfect description:



    People who wish to be an individual by conforming to a subculture.
    see also irony.

    There's a time and a place for every joke. Down the pub that's fine, but not on somewhere like this. 'Tis just the way it is.

    And do you seriously think that we're crying about it? I personally found the picture more offensive by the fact it has been posted sixty-nine million fucking times, and it wasn't funny the first time.

    That's perfectly true.

    be buggered if I can remember which website came up with that though.

    Uhm... goths are just a part of a subculture. Perhaps a 'tortured artist' is an individual, but because you're a goth doesn't make ya one in a million. If you were then they wouldn't have place like Affleck's Palace and Quiggins doing so well selling their alternative clothing. :p

    Maybe it's that because computers are cool?

    maybe it's cause the steriotype slits their wrists, eats babies and kills puppies?

    Or maybe it's cause the rasmus are shite?

    who knows? :confused:

    I know this

    all I know have really good taste in music:D

    The stereotype goths do not slit their wrists, eat babies and kill puppies. That is some of the most retarded shit I've ever heard, I'm actually chuckling to myself that you believe this.

    The Rasmus being shite is your opinion. You say you have good taste, that's your opinion too, and I bet a lot would disagree.

    You really have just made a rather pointless and stupid post newbie. :rolleyes:
