Why are people mean to punks and goths???

Question

i have been a punk for like ever!!

Answer 1

I thought the whole point of being a punk was to "stick it" to society. If your subculture is devoted to opposing mainstream society don't complain when mainstream society doesn't like you very much.

Answer 2

If you paint a gazelle a differant color he will get eaten by lions. Gazelelles run with the pack and blend in so they dont get eaten by lions.
If you choose to paint yourself and stand out in the animal kingdom of childhood you should expect to get eaten.
If you expect otherewise your not a punk your an idiot.
Thats the way the world works. Life isnt fair if it was you would be arrested for every crime you have commited and put in jail. SO thank God life aint fair.
thats the way life is, whining and moaning about the place, you have placed your self, is childish.
Real rebels Dont ride Harleys they ride Hondas. Real rebels dont try and be cool they dont care about cool. they dont get tattoos, everyone gets tattoos. they arent punks or goths, everyone is a punk or a goth or part of some click, that has its own rules Real rebels play the acordian they dont give a crap about cool.

Answer 3

I was one, too. I'm way too old to dress like that anymore, so I have to believe that my multiple ear piercings and funky shoes are rebellion enough.

But, honestly, some of the punk and goth kids right now are just a bit silly, don't you think? It's become about fashion, not rebellion, not politics, or changing the world like we were idealistic to believe we could, so they're really no different from the rich little Gucci girls anymore.

Answer 4

I have always wondered why punks and goths are mean to everyone who aren't punks and goths. I was a cheerleader my freshmen year and the goths gave me and my friends so much hell!

Answer 5

Because people are stereotypical if one punk/goth goes out and murders somone or do something else illegal they naturally assume all punks/goths do

Answer 6

WELL CAUSE THERE STUPID AND THEY JUDGE TOO MUCH BUT ALSO if the punks or goths ya know threw eggs ir somthin at there house that yeaa there gonna be mad but if the p. or g. are just hurting no1 then people need 2 shut up

Answer 7

If you don't stand up for yourself, people have a tendency to keep picking on you. You just need to be confident, and realize their are going to be many mean and heartless people in the world, either let them know they are being unkind and you don't appreciate it or walk on and ignore them if you are a nice person don't let them get you down or bring you to their level. Obviously they have some growing to do. However, you might ask yourself why you feel the need to gather more attention whether positive or negative? If it bothers you, then why do it?

Answer 8

people are mean to others who aren't like them. we all get screwed, not just punks and goths. every group has another group that doesn't like them.

Answer 9

Isn't that the kind of attention they really want ? I thought it really was...... ??
Whats wrong with being who you are? Instead of trying to be the outcast of a rebel ?
Generally speaking, If that's how you like to present yourself to people..... That's exactly how they'll respond to you.

I look like the average person and still love listening to early punk music.

Answer 10

Because people don't like people who are different. I live in a small redneck and christian based town and get sh!t all the time, whether it's the rednecks calling me a p*ssy or the preacher's trying to save me.
