Lifestyle Trends
Rhaneieve asked:


My boyfriend and I live the gothic lifestyle. Not the new trend that is spreading (can you say Rot Topic?), but based on the beginnings of the genre… when it wasn’t “cool” to be different.

(And it isn’t a phase. I’m now 30, and still dressing up, listening to dark wave, and in love with Poe).

I’m just curious how people see us… and what they believe to be gothic. Bands, clothing, etc…

I think it’s interesting. I also love Poe, but I am not gothic. I think gothic has many stereotypes, but what you describe is exactly what I see true gothic as. I hate people who confuse “Emo” with “Gothic” because they are entirely different. I think it’s wonderful that you are who you are. ?

Oh and babe, ignore Klamen. He seems like a real jerk. Be who you want to be. You are inspiring.

Based on my limited contact: Losers who cut themselves and try to look like corpses.

Goth to me is how some people perceive certain emotions, however instead of keeping their prospectives oral or written they wish to manifest them into physical qualities- such as the clothes and makeup they choose to wear and then label themselves goth.

For the most part though I don’t think anyone can really consider themselves as being truly ‘goth’- it’s just people following the ways of those before them and mostly submitting to the influence of those who you feel accepted by. People who claim to be goth due so in order to feel or be different when in reality there just like everyone else just fancier so to say.
