What is "UNgoth" about you?
 

So, tell us something about you that is very (stereotypically) UNgoth. It could be something you wear, own, watch, enjoy, do, etc.

i.e. my love for broadway musicals. shhhh!!!

Ooooohhhh! UNgoth eh? I like this thread already.

I still shop at and wear Abercrombie & Fitch

I wouldn't say there's anything ungoth about me. But for the sake of survival I have to tone myself down so that Corp. America isn't afraid of me.

I have never worn eyeliner. :p

I don't want a black cat. I think orange cats are prettier. You've all seen my Diego, right? If you haven't, here he is:

Also, I'm in a sorority and I've never seen The Crow.

I was... in the military. Is that ungoth?

I don't think so. Try something else.

My first welcome here on Gnet a while back when I first joined was from Major Bromley ("The Major") who is in the Air Force, and he is, shall we say, "dark".
He hasn't posted in a long time. I wonder what happened to him? O_o

Plenty stereotypically "ungoth" here. Goth is in my heart, but not on my skin.

I prefer not to wear makeup, I choose never to dye my hair, and I choose never to have tattered or ripped clothes. For me, I prefer the natural look.

On other guys, though, I love the "goth look".

I smile.

I smile when I am happy. I smile when I'm angry. I have a particularly rigid grin for when I am scared enough to piss my pants.

Oh, that list is going to be long, I think...

I love musical theatre, and am going to study it next semester. I've always loved Bryan Adams, Elton John, doo wop/ swing jazz a la Frankie Avalon and Frank Sinatra (both are artists whose music I love dearly), Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons (as far from gothic music as you could get, I guess), rockabilly (Elvis!) and I absolutely despise EBM and metal (don't shoot me; many goths I've met seem to like either one or both) and that kind of music. One of my favourite movies is the 1987 version of Dirty Dancing; I love watching old Elvis Presley movies. I am very fond of baby blue, and do have a few pink garments in my wardrobe. Only thirtty percent of my entire wardrobe is black. I've never been to a goth club in my entire life (that's going to change when I go down south, though, believe me). I wasn't aware of there being anything called "goth" until I was sixteen or seventeen years old... uh... *thinks* I enjoy playing traditional irish (and scottish) music on my tin whistle. That's not particularly gothic, is it? Actually, come to think of it, this is all just a matter of definitions...

I have never worn make up, and I find the behavior exhibited by the "columbine shooters" style of people appalling. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but at my school, everyone seems to think that the "dark" people approve of senseless acts of violence and cruelty.

I also like music like Neil Young, and Genesis. Also (the biggest one) is that I greatly enjoy a good laugh. Why do people always think that just 'cause we're different we are all depressed and have no sense of humour?!?!

We have a bit of non-goth musical taste in common. Love Bryan Adams, love Elton John, love Sinatra, love Frankie Valli, love traditional Irish music.

And Patrick Swayze is of teh hot.

Thank you...

Vako - definitely agree. Patrick almost makes me drool *laughs* (just kidding, of course).

I have never been to a goth club ( there aren't any that I know of anyway )
I don't know a single goth in real life ( which is probably why I have never been to a goth club )
I like pretty floaty magical fantasy art ( as well as the darker sort ) involving unicorns, fairies, ect..
I adore AFI and I like some metal and shhhh HIM ( all not goth as we very well know )
I have a strong tree hugging hippy streak. But I am pagan so I think I can be forgiven that one :)

Take your pick...

- I have just finished learning the theme to the Pink Panther on the piano
- Most of my wardrobe is colourful. I generally wear all black with one brightly coloured element. Eg. black skirt, tights, jacket with a bright red shirt. That way my parents can't tell me I'm dressed too somberly (sp?).
- I listen to *gasp* mainstream music. As in what "normal" people are listening to. Yes, that does involve Fergie, Justin Timberlake, Akon, Nelly Furtado and Gwen Stefani. Let me justify that though...I love to dance, and will dance to any music. However, most of the mainstream muic nowadays has the most awful and degrading lyrics. So I blank most of the vocals out on my computer and just use the beat to dance too.
- I love to dance to any style of music. Which is mentioned in my previous point. By any type of dance, I really do mean it. Salsa, tango, waltz, hip-hop, scottish reels, ballet, balisa, mambo, jazz, contemporary - my personal favourite and many many more. I do them all.
- I really don't see what all the fuss about goth vs. non-goth music is.
- I do not own anything with skulls on it.
- I sometimes wear perfume (many people at my school look at me and say "OMG, you can't be a goth; you wear perfume!)
- I'm not always dressed in black
- I love to laugh
- I really do like a "chicks' night out" with my friends...some chick flicks, popcorn, fizzies and candy on a big couch. All of us in pyjamas etc, laughing, looking absolutely care-free.
And more. But I'm too lazy to write them down

I don't know any other goths in real life... they're just not around here =/ Oh, I also like ska.

I agree, there's nothing "ungoth" about that. As a matter of fact, I will be meeting with an Air Force recruiter in a half hour. What a coincidence...

Of course I did have to take off my makeup and nail polish so I can look presentable. So I guess there's another thing to add to this thread's list.

Actually...

The military is quite ungoth. Clockwork, I encourage you to join the service, so that you will see how truthful this actually is. ;)

Wow! Seems like you all are just letting it all hang out. Perhaps I'll post more ungothy things about myself later.

I've never been to a real concert.

Lets see...

I have a horse, and it is QUITE painful to ride in flowy lace skirts, so every afternoon I don faded blue jeans, shovel feces, and then ride. I also do this every time I work. The spoiled trophy-wives whose horses I take care of didn't go for the eye make up and ever-changing hair colors that I had before I was employed there.

I have only been to Non-Goth concerts (mainly because other people bring me, but I do like all the bands) REM, A Perfect Circle, System Of A Down, Tool, BB King, Guster (Its my amazing boyfriend's favorite band) and, afew others.

Also like Ska.

:)

I don't like horror movies. I get nightmares really easily.

My best friends are the most UNgoth people evah!
I go to a christian school.
I go to the gym.
I don't smoke cloves.
And... yes

I think my love for punk definitely is ungoth, but it's close. I feel like my attraction to goth is my punk side growing up.
Something really ungoth? My ditzy, twirling my hair, airhead side, which is displayed a lot of the time.

I listen to kind of a lot of hip hop and "normal" rock music.
I love Bullet For My Valentine.
I don't smoke anything (not even cloves).
I collect Hello Kitty items and condoms (the second one isn't even normal by any means)
I'm obsessed with sport bikes (crotch rockets) and Import/Street Racing cars.
I listen to a lot of electronica(rave type) music.
I work out like crazy (even have a gym membership at Bally)
I live more of a zen(simple)/nerdy/rock star/ race queen lifestyle than a goth one.

All in all- goth is most definitely in my heart.

That's all I can think of for now.

Yep. Me, too. But I sure did get a head gothy start in the boot department. I have three pair of riding boots that could possible be worn clubbing. At least after I scrape the manure off and polish them.


Oh. I have never tasted absinthe, nor smoked a clove cigarette. *back of hand to forehead* The shame!

Haha, meanwhile, I'm more lemony/corny/sweet/sour/high/intellectual/lonely/friendly/telephoney/
leathery/stiley/mod/hardy/computery/candlely/applely/
king-of-the-hilly/donkeykongey/waltzy/sleepy/watery kind of guy. XD

I dance latin ballroom and have worn a bright orange competition dress that for the sake of modesty you will never see

Please.. It's hard enough being sane for the whole day let allone goth!

I have a neko girl fetish.

They are pretty hot. Got to give it to anime.

LMAO!!! You win.

One would be my eternal optimistic outlook on life.

Another would be my J-pop collection. I have more than a thousand CDs most of which aren’t goth. Such as Pink Lady (My personal favorite), Two-Mix (Another favorite), Onyanko Club, TM Network, Access, Wink, Utada Hikaru, TRF, Karashima Midori, Shiina Hekiru, Favorite blue, Rina chinen, Misato watanabe, Oginome yoko, Speed, Matsuda Seiko, Akina nakamori, Amuro namie, Arisa mizuki, Mina ganaha, Miho nakayama .Mai kuraki, m.c.a.t, tomomi kahala, elt, Suzuki ami, Uchida yuki, Moritaka chisato, Miki imai, Komuro tetsuya, Komuro mitsuko, Ruriko kuboh, Glay, x-japan, hide, ryuichi kawamura, luna sea, sharanq, sonim, morning musume, matsutoya iyumi, shizuka kudo, yoko minamino, hirose kohmi, zoo, dragon ash, takashi utsunomiya, princess princess, kome kome club, mariko kouda, tomo sakurai, toshinobu Kubota, etc.

I live like a punk...Ungoth? My lack of grace and elegance is probably the least goth thing about me. I tend to be quite robust and manly. I get into fights...which I'm not very proud of. I'm also a nerd, and like wearing blue jeans with my doc martens over them. So? Whaaaa! :D

I also have a thing for cute anime girls with gato ears...

Also, IcedZoo Biscuits are bright pink, orange, blue and green...I should make black and grey ones with spiders and bats and absynthe bottles on them.

What is goth about me? I have a Perfect Circle fetish and that's about it.

Oh...yes and the Hello Kitty thing probably wouldnt be a goth thing either...

Oh dear...One of my friends back home will be so devastated to find out it's not. She dresses in pink, red, black and white and a Hello Kitty is always somewhere on her.

I sing Aretha Franklin songs at Karoake. If my Mum and Pop are there then I have to throw in Patsy Cline and Bette Midler.

I bake a lot, i love cows thats about it

er... I sometimes listen to metal.
And I own a HIM album.
That's about it.

*thinks* ... hmmm...well...I don't hang out at clubs. I'm not too keen on being in a noisy place with lots of people. And I use emotes like this one--> ^_^

I forgot to add, I don't like the Sisters of Mercy at all.

Oh my...that's shocking!

I collect teddy bears...

Aww! Adorable! I love kitties of all colors. My kittie, Annie (you would laugh if you knew why I named her that), is multi-colored, but mostly grey, black, a little white, and a few little spots of orange. She's beautiful. Kind of a torty-tabby.

I'm was in a sorority too. :OHNOEZ: And currently I'm VP of the local Alumnae Chapter for said sorority.

How DARE you??? j/k. I smile a good bit too, but only when I'm happy. Why should I fake a smile?

[quote=Minyaliel]I've never been to a goth club in my entire life (that's going to change when I go down south, though, believe me). QUOTE] Me neither. Oh, and I love Sinatra also. His voice woos me. RIP Ol’ Blue Eyes.


I'm Pagan too, and I love (literally) hugging trees!

I've never heard that... LOL. I like to smell good, but I wear more fruity-smelling perfumes like Jess by Jessica McClintock. I put just one spray on my wrist, rub on the other wrist, then rub both wrists on my neck and in my hair. No sense in dousing myself like some people do. I don’t think people should be able to smell the perfume unless they’re right next to me.

I get nightmares easily, but that doesn't stop me. I love being scared. That is why I also love Haunted Houses/Hayrides. I am in LOVE with horror flicks of all kinds: top-notch scare-the-shit-outta-you films, B-grade, cheesy/almost funny horror flicks, slashers, and indie or low budget are all great in my book.

I like the ghostbusters theme song, my obsession over pigeons and not crows,and I was once (glares at other users) a chav.

I like Ghostbusters too (and the song). When I was a kid I had a ghostbusters backback and pretended that "Slimer" was following me around. er.... only child here... I had to find some way to entertain myself. :waves:

I'm still confused as to what exactly a Chav is. I've heard the term countless times online, but the explanations I’ve heard are never very clear. I don't understand the term as I'm American.

well it is basically a frat boy or a wigga.
If you still don't get it try searching pics on google.

Ahh... okay. Well those two are distinctly different things where I live. I don't know many fraternity guys who are "wiggas". Most of them around here are more like Neo-Yuppies and/or spoiled rich boys who wear Polo shirts or expensive t-shirts with khakis most of the time.

Still, Try using wiki or google.

^ Aha! Sounds like either "ghetto" and/or "white trash" terms we have here in the US.
