Why don't you post some Oakzap?

^I suspect that first picture is you, but it's a private theory.


Hot Topic is still in and edgy, come on now.

Right. I've heard that before, that the gothic style of today evolved from the New Wave style in the 80's. As I said earlier in the thread a couple of my long time friends have a gothic lifestyle. They dress normally most of the time though but on special occassions that get into their lifestyle. I respect them for it and they don't go pushing it on other people or bother people with it. Though, I'm a T-shirt and jeans type of guy and fashion is something that is beyond me at this point.

But everytime I see someone with their hair dyed, a million piercings in their face, and tatoos all over their body...I can't help but think to myself, "Wow, you are REALLY going out of your way in looking for attention". It may not be the case with a lot of people but I can't help but think that.

To me it's not about the lifestyle you lead or the way you dress, but it's in how you treat other people. That's all that matters and unfortunately there are too many people in this world who would rather quickly judge your personality on the way you dress, than how you act.

It was from the early 80s. Stuff like Bauhaus. Though that's not really New Wave, now that I think about it. My mistake.

I agree it's gone to **** as of late, but it did have some legitimacy at some point. It seems like people are treating it as something that's fairly new, and that it's just whiny teenagers. Many people today are annoying, and throw it in others' faces, but that's not really part of what it should be, and it wasn't always that way.

I'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt, and want to draw a distinction. It seems like this whole thread is, "Oh, goths and emos. They're all the same. Those stupid kids. They always bother me. Idiots just want attention."

I don't see the point Goths are trying are trying to make. who are they trying to impress? Not me.

If that's anything it's more hipster than emo, assuming you were wearing the shirts to be "retro-ironic" or something. Unless the shirt and jeans are too small for you.

Goddamn mofo's!

How many emo kids does it take to change a lightbulb?

None, they'd rather sit in the dark and cry.

^Let me guess, you'll be here all week. Be sure to tip your waitress.

Here's an oldie but goody, folks.

What do you think of Flushing, New York?

I think it's a good idea. *ba-dum-bump*

I think I might want to do her...and by that I of course mean have sex with

oh i'd tap that..no doubt

 

[Son Of Logan]

I just used the word "emo" in a conversation the other day and felt really pathetic. I need to stay away from the internet for a while.

I prefer "I wish my lawn was emo so it would cut itself."

 

[Zombie_hunter]

Well I think every one should just deal with one another, personally I just talk to everyone the same dont show predjudice against someone unless they show predudice against you that's my moto. I think you should just be ur self and hey if you don't like some one thats cool but you should have a better reason than just a steriotype. To be fair everyone's entitled to free speech but I think its amusing that if you replaced the first post question from goths and emos to either 2 diffrent religions or races this thread would have been shut down by now for being offencive especailly if you had the same comments.

I think equallity means you can call some one a f*** if they are an absoult jerk no matter what colour, creed, religion, sex, age, belive, race or group they belong to.

You know what saddens me...I cannot stand goth stuff and Hot Topic, but lately they have had some great Superman shirts...thus necessitating me to purchase something from them...I am ashamed

 

[terry78]

I think what it boils down to is, so long as your lifestyle isn't forced upon anybody else, we should all be cool. I'm the only one out of my little clique of guys that don't drink, but I don't get on their asses about getting massive tipsy every weekend, and vice versa. I can chill with an emo dude, so long as he doesn't go on and on about his feelings and why everything sucks. Gloom and doom type mother****ers I can live without.

I don't get the big deal with Hot Topic. Yeah, a lot of "mall goths and emo's" abuse it, but the store does still occassionally have some good stuff.

I find the whole "disowning" a store just because a group of people shop there so childish...

 

[Leto Atrides]

Well you're supporting the store, helping to keep it in business, feeding a subculture you don't like.

emo alphabet

 

[arachnid-guy]

Just trap them all in a bunker with bubbleum pop playing in the background and with two handguns on a table.

that's how to deal with emos.

 

[terry78]

^You watched Addams Family Values, didn't you?

 

[arachnid-guy]

Nope....but i'll check it out!

I'm a mall security guard and I've run into a lot of gothic kids and emo kids, I guess. I still don't know exactly what an emo is. But when it comes down to it...goth, emo, ******, gangsta, preppy, etc, etc...they're ALL THE SAME TO ME ANYMORE, haha. All just a bunch of bored ass teenagers who play far too much X-Box or Playstation and need to go outside and play.

Though when I was 16 I don't remember acting as much of an ******* as a lot of these teenagers do these days. It's like as each generation of teenagers go by they become more selfish and whiny. Whether it's goth or emo...it doesn't matter. The worst kind of kids are the suburbanite ******s...like something out of Malibu's Most Wanted, heh. NOW THAT'S SAD! Listen to rap if you enjoy it and even bust a few rhymes if your heart tells you to...but for the love of God. You are not black. You'll never be black. And black people don't even like you. They just put up with you because you're giving them money.
