Omg...
 

This is a wii post so sorry for bad grammar.

My brothers child minder is 23 male, he told me today his cousin was goth, I asked what bands she was into and he gives me this putrid list consisting of bands such as linkin park.

We then got into a debate. He was trying to convince me that being a goth is all about clothes and heavy metal, I told him about music before fashion and that most metal bands aren't gothic, I told him I wasn't backing down so he told me that chavs cant be considerd chavs unless they listen to chav music.

I told him that chavs didnt start from music it started from antisocial behaviour.

So who is right in this argument guys?

I'm right..

Let me rephrase that.

Which of 'Us two' as mentioned in my above post, is correct.

Neither.

Goth is a lifestyle and a mind set. It is not judged by what music you listen to. You can still be goth and listen to whatever music you want.

It's just like not ALL goths wear all black all the time. It's a stereotype.

Instead of asking us, you could've just looked through one of the many "what is goth" topics. And saved yourself a bit of embarrasment.

I guess so.

Actually, Chazz, you're right. Goth is really not much but just the music. But then there's such a diverse spectrum in gothic rock (I mean, who would confuse Diary of Dreams with 45 Grave?), so what's with that?
It's because Goth is basically summed up in the Batcave and that ends all discussions.
But still, goth is much more about music than fashion, mindset, and heavy metal (I mean come on!)

Who gives a shit
Also lol at goth being a lifestyle.

You're joking, right? So we're supposed to bathe with goth soap, brush our teeth with goth toothpaste, eat goth bread and pasta?

"You think this a fuckin' costume?! This is a way of life!"-Suicide, Return of the Living Dead. So, unless you're him or being sarcastic about the above, just drop it.

Honeythorn makes a mean goth pasta. Just ask her about it.

A mind set? Are you implying that you know how I think or how others think?

*Forum police march over here*

This should go in the whining thread.

Your brother's child minder and his cousin are douches. I hate when people take the G word in vain. Shame on them.

Fucking electrosexual, you're hotter than me!
I don't know if feel jealous or attracted.

Crying_Crimson_Tears, if you're truly committed to being misinformed, that's fine, but please don't confuse poor Chazz.

i vote both, only one way to settle this, bare naked oil wrestling match, we'll record it and give it to some soldiers in the military hahahah

yes of course, goth, a subculture formed around a style of music that emerged in the 1980s has NOTHING to do with music at all



CCT, just.... don't talk, it doesn't suit you

Runs over with fire extinguisher, but decides to sell tickets instead:

FLAME WAR! WATCH YOUR FLAME WARS! CCT VS JUST ABOUT EVERYONE! GET CH'YO TICKETS! STARTING AT THREE ICED ZOO BISCUITS!

Can I have one for 3 chocolate biscuits?

I have muffins?

Chocolate biscuits and muffins are acceptable. But you have to bring your own rotten fruit.

I now know why they warned us newbs about CCT when she came back.

Oh, do use utter politeness, as with all touchy people. While the people who exhibit questionable nettiquite are made aware of their mis-deeds, it serves no purpose to hound them unless they've done something particularly heinous. In that case we throw rotten net.fruit at them.

And support raggedyanne's net.stomach fund by offering net.cookies for tickets to the flame wars.

Gaaaah... *asplodes*

Cct..

So your implying that every goth thinks and does the same thing..

*Runs past the riot naked holding a black cat in the air, screaming "I HAS A GOTH CAT!"*

I was actuly thinking this morning that if there was a Goth purfume/fragrance what would it be?
