The REAL goth scene

[kidthorazine]

Its been bugging me lately that people here have been really bashing the goths and no one appears to even know what the scene is about. First off there are quite a few of us who do not cut ourselves that seems to be a huge misconception because the ones that do that like to show it off for attention wich in all reality annoys goths to no end. second, the majority of us HATE Hot Topic, not only are most of the clothes they sell really poor quality and overly expensive but most of them arent even goth at all. Third we do not listen to Marilyn Manson and most of that other mainstream crap that has been labled goth we listen to bands like Siouxse and The Banshees, the Joy Division, Bauhaus and countless other non-mainstream bands. There are also a lot of male goths that are not homosexual (myself included) and there arent all that many fat gothic girls they just stick out because they wear clothing that was origianaly sesigned for girls who weigh 110 pounds and have been made in plus sizes thatnks to Hot Topic

BTW I loved the Whiny Kids Goth pages i thought it was great at poking fun at the losers who make the goth scene look bad
