ASHESOFX, it's nice to hear a viewpoint of an original and mature man as yourself.
Goths are always going to be discriminated against, as all groups are. The misconceptions of the gothic people's fascination of death, and the dark side of humanity contribute to this misperception. These factors and our "morbidly original" sense of style are practically incomprehensible
to a society that focuses on success and "living your life to the fullest." Anything that society does not understand, they mislabel it as a threat. They do not know that we can be fascinated by the dark side of humanity and still be a normal, functional human being of society. Also, the media's negative portrayal of "goths" doesn't help either.
