[Vyvian Blackthorne]

Goth stereotypes are basically all over the media, mindless1. Depressed, Suicidal, Sexual Predators, etc. The one that really is out there is the stereotype that we want to kill people. Goth's foundation in music perfectly displays free expression and free will. In our subculture, the ideology/aesthetics clearly show that we don't want to harm people. Anyone's desicision to do so would not have anything to do with how goth they are, but their personal issues. Goth is not something that triggers violence, really. People should blame only themselves. The depression/suicidal thing is out there as well, because it's really rare that someone in our culture would commit suicide and be depressed. Again, anyone's actions involved in our movement would only deal with their personal mental issues, not those involving their subcultural identity. The only stereotype that's close to be fact is the usage of white make-up. Some deathrockers use it, but it's not soemthing reccomended for new comer babybats. So, to be a little simple: Homocide=Out there. Suicide/Depression=Observations with little communication (bigotry). White Make-up/BDSM=A bit close, occasionally associated with our movement. Sorry to have be so quick, it's just been so many times, really.
