I've noticed latley that there are many of these kids that wear these black hooded jackets adorned with various patches of rock bands or symbols. While that may be somewhat ok for winter ,although a little tastless, it's just bizzare for summer. Even when it's about 90 degrees outside I can still see them with those hoods over their heads. Why do they do that?

The Gothic movement gained notoriety when the Collier County Sheriff's Office began its investigation into six Lely High School students for plotting violence at the school. So far, three students have been arrested while the others remain at home as the investigation continues. The Lely students were reported to have dressed in a black clothing style that's drawn media attention to the Gothic movement, a subculture characterized by a macabre fascination with all things dark and dramatic.
School Violence is very real. The current school year, 03-04, has been more deadly than the year of the Columbine massacre. This has local, state and national agencies looking for answers. The danger from such a search is that an urgency to find solutions often causes hasty generalizations. Black trench coats and Gothic dress are being pointed out by some around the country as a common trait of those who plot or commit school violence. This raises the question, "Are those who follow the Goth or Gothic life style prone to violence?" However, trying to analyze the fundamentals of modern Goths proves to be a daunting task. The single most common characteristic of Goths is individuality. This article will attempt to identify some the basics of Goths for non-Goths who have a need to understand what affects and motivates young people.

They are associating with a group to feel secure and accepted. A lot of people who join this kind of group lack self esteem and find a sense of belonging in the group (that was lacking in the home environment).
But don't read too much into it. Some of the kids are going Goth just because they think it is fun and cool and to get people like you to wonder what the hell the are up to!

It's actually a part of punk fashion which I think is just stupid I consider myself a punk and I don't think the idea of fashion goes really well with the idea of punk but anyways sometimes punks will get hooded jackets as you mentioned or leather jackets and put patches of their favorite bands or the will put patches of symbols such as Anarchist symbols Nazi symbols (Nazi symbols are usually only worn by skinheads) or anti-Nazi symbols I think I gave enough information but like I said to me the idea of fashion and punk don't really go together here is a link to an article in Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_fashion

Why do emo kids wear tight jeans and have ugly hair? It's a fashion style that's part of the social group, a uniform if you will. It is how they dress to express their social allegiance, just like any other social group. Skinheads wear jeans and boots with white t-shirts and braces. Those hip-hop kids wear FUBU or some other urban brand all the time especially with bright obnoxious colours. Again, examples of social groups adopting a sort of uniform.

It's no worse than a young girl at a concert in the middle of winter teetering around in high heels and barely covered.

devil worshippers. They give me the creeps, which is probably what they want. They are so desperate to be noticed they'll do anything. Like the boys at Columbine. What a terrible tragedy, and why? Just because some punk assed brats had access to guns, and they were pissed at their classmates because their contemporaries recognized them for what they were. Dorks.

black is often a color that tends to slip out of mind if you believe the men in black theory,, this is a theory .... as for the kids at columbine,,, perhaps in the future parents will teach their kids not to terrorize other students,,i met one of the guys that picked on me in school he made the mistake of trying to pick up where he left off...only thing he picked up was a couple of teeth i kicked from his mouth,,he learned real quick, that stuff dont float for long.. but that does not in any way excuse murder,,

i agree with mercii. What gives anyways. Just because someone is not like you, doesn't make them non-acceptable especially with the crazy things that are accepted into this made society. If it bothers you then its simple.....Turn your head. Honestly with all the things that are going on in life this stumps a person....

Its just their way of self expression. SOme might be depressed but if you start up a conversation with them I am sure that they will be some of the nicest kids ever! Just because they wear all black does not mean that they are evil or bad, give them a chance. One might be our next president!
