What ruins the scene?
 

Yes, I stole this one from that lame g match site, but whatever :P

What do you think ruins the gothic scene the most?
For me, it would be the "mallgoth" kind of person.
Or violent alternative people.

Hot Topic.

Trenchcoat Mafia wannabes.

Fat people in tight leather.

Threads like this...

Your mother.

Not enough non-euclidean clubs.

The Columbine Massacre and articles by ignorant people on the "goth emo cult".

Those ruin just about everything.

Seconded. sa;lfjwqelkt

Assholes like Needlefeet ruin the scene.

People who throw hissy fits when people "look at them funny".
Basically anyone who takes themselves too seriously and forget that their is a real world outside any subculture.

Why the fuck do I ruin the scene?

speaking of which, I was on a trip to a theme park the other day, and this group of young foreigners(I am not a racist, do not misunderstand me) kept on pointing at me saying "Look at him! Look how he looks at you! Look how weird he is" and one of the decided to go around me obviously and poke me in the back of my head :P
Seriously, wtf? :P

Ophie just doesn't like you.

Because people come on the forum and you try this 'gother-than-thou' horseshit and end up looking like a cunt.

It's true that I don't like him, but that's not why he ruins the scene.
He ruins the scene because he's one of those assholes who presents himself as a reference for goth culture, when he completely misrepresents it and is a lot of the reason why people have a problem with goths.

People who constantly whine about how someone's ruining the 'scene', methinks.

Personally, I find people like that genuinely hilarious. Because they're generally completely ridiculous.

Gimme an example of when this has happened.

How the hell do I present myself as a reference for goth culture?

*hums a theme tune* Flame Wars!! *hums theme tune outro*

Since I haven't been here in a while, I would like to see this play out. I suggest evidence be posted. For the record I agree with JCC and RavenHallows. The problem with Still Jack's opinion, is that some people gravitate to individuals like that and cause problems.

Picture post and your comments about d0p3y's pictures. Every comment you made gives the impression you think that somehow you are the leading authority on being a goth. You and Catch should hook up.

Hahaha!

I think that incompetent club owners and poseurs ruin the scene, but I don't partake in clubbing often enough to care.

I think it's people with nothing to say but derision and judgment that ruin the scene. ie: Ophelia and Needlefeet.

live and let live. I mean seriously.

I'm not a really a member of my local goth scene (I'm not even sure there is one) but something that pisses me off about the punk scene is the random kids who show up and think that "punk dancing" means running around and punching people in the head. Nothing ruins a good skank-pit like some cunts fist in your eye...

I hate hardcore dancing.
I don't get where moshing turned into just punching people in the face.
