I just saw q whats "goth or emu". Well, I want to ask this.What if you rely on the "goth" ways and live them?

Question

I hardly ever go inthe sun light. Only once a week to get food cuz that is wehn the busses run. When i ahve to go out side to smoke during the day i hide in the shadows. My hair is black as night. I know i am a vampire in real life. I keep my room dark. AI ma "no god beleiver" I listen to all forms of rock and metal. I wear a cape ect. I do the whole 9 yards. I own and waer steal toe boots. I were chains and spiks. So what do you think. What is your defnition of "goth". What do you picture when i say the word "goth"?

Answer 1

wow, you are so not a goth. As the person above said, you just sound like a recluse with the hardly ever going out thing. And you don't have to have black hair to be goth and also black hair doesn't make you goth. And believing you're a vampire is just stupid. Keeping your room dark also doesn't make you a goth. Neither does not believing in god.
Goth music is not metal, it actually came out of punk and post-punk in the late '70s and early '80s, so listening to what you listen to doesn't make you goth. Wearing a cape is another stupid thing. Boots are all right, but they don't automatically make you goth. Chains and spikes definitely aren't goth, those are just what kids who think they're 'goth' wear, when they're actually metal kids who have no clue what goth is.

And my definition of goth is someone who listens to REAL goth music. Here is a link with an overview of goth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goth
Read it so you understand the subculture better, because you obviously don't.

Answer 2

It sounds like you're a heliophobe and a recluse, not a goth. Being goth is purely internal, it just has external indications of the internal. Goths see the bad as well as the good in the world, and accept them both. While dealing with pain, death, and evil of all sorts, goths resort to art, literature, music, and humor, all with a melancholy and sometimes downright depressed point of view.
