Grow up! If you are obsessing over your high school days, well your fucked no matter what you do. Get over it. Live your life according to your own rules, just don't violate your rules, and live life too its fullist. Face the fact that every body faces people that do not like them or the way they live. Rebel or not you must live your life and live it correctly and do not fall victim to the negitivity of your peers. They will not always be your peers and who gives a shit what those that are said to be your peers say anyway. Your peers are those you respect and not those appointed over you anyway.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

There's something I've always wondered: If a goth girl takes a shower, does she melt?

What better way to fight conformity than dye your hair black, get some piercings, and listen to really loud rock music?

I used to know loads of Goths at college. Nice people. Bit strange at times but nice.

[Raven]Ah, if it isn't a little Goth-boy wannabe. Let me make a few guesses; you draw pentagrams, dye your hair, get piercings, and complain about how unfair life is, right?

Well let me tell you right now that you are an annoying little poser that hasn't suffered a tenth of what I have! Years of neglect, by my parents, my employers, and those who claimed to be my friends, combined with the constant disdain of my intellectual inferiors has given me a just cause to be sad about my situation. You, on the other hand, are just a whining little punk who thinks he's cool because he conforms to some silly little counterculture. To be blunt, you're just like everyone else I ever met; a depraved hypocrite.

Quote the Raven, "Nevermore."[/Raven]

Yikes, that just came out of nowhere. And I'm not even a particularly big Raven fan!

Oh, and *poke*!

[Raven]And another victim falls to something that has come to be known as...the Poking Effect.[/Raven]
Don't hate; appreciate!

RIP Eddie.

Forever? So you expect to get a respectable job showing up for an interview looking like someone who can't accept the fact that the studios picked Brandon Lee over him for the lead part in The Crow?

Oh wait, I know. You and your friends are going to form a band that plays nothing but some aggressive 16 year-old girl spitting into the microphone with some halfwit on a guitar and you randomly hitting various drums with chopsticks and claim that it's music. What happens when you're out of high school and don't have any jocks or preppies to bitch about anymore? You going to keep dwelling on the past?

I'll be honest. I don't really care for Goths. They can do what they want; they're not hurting anyone, but they strike me as people with severe psychological problems who hate the clique mentality of society, so they form a clique of their own to combat it. Very original and rebellious thinking. They think that the fact that other people just think they're weird or fucked up makes the Goth clique something more than what it is: a clique. Just like jocks, just like nerds, just like preppy golf boys, just like yuppies.

My personal form?

I'm an asshole you moose twit. Plain and simple. Don't shove shit in my face, especially fundy bull shit, or your 'Goth' crap. It doesn't fly with me. Be an individual all you want, but when your a conformist (yes, being Goth is conforming) don't cry to me how your repressed.

Consider yourself flamed. no0b.

Bloody hell, Darksyde, why didn't you just declare yourself as a religious fundamentalist!

You can ignore this lot - they've made blatent assumptions about you based on one post. And they can't even see how you're dressed.

Finally, someone who sees my side of things. Granted, SOME goths are annoying, but this is fucking ludicrous what y'all did to DS666. If I have to choose between SD and my friend, I'll choose him.

hehehe. That's all pretty funny. C'mon, Einy, let your friend fight for himself. That is, assuming he's capable...

Consider this provoked, so don't bother meeting with appropriate force (that is, unless you feel like it).

Einhander's right, SOME goths are annoying. This guy's one of them. He starts out his career here with a grating, strident piece of flamebait, in which he proclaims "GOTH FOREVER!" When good criticism of the goth phenomenon is brought to bear against him, he doesn't even bother rebutting. Instead, he sasses back at his critics! I don't give two shits about post counts, so that's not what this is about...it's just that this guy, given the opportunity, did not show himself to be of a respectable mental acumen.
And plus, look at his name..."DarkSyde666"? I guess the 'y' makes it cool, huh? And what's with the triple six? Oooh, mark of the beast! This guy must be pretty hard core. Too bad you have to be a Christian to dig the devil.

He could have gone about this in a much more civilized manner. I mean, look at Einhander. He might not be a goth, but he's friends with one. And everybody here likes him (except maybe for Shep, but he's crazy). But Einhander was fun, upbeat, and always wished us happy fragging. This guy doesn't have much in the way of 'endearing' going for him, so he shouldn't be too surprised when he finds out nobody likes him. And anyways, isn't that the point of being goth? To not be liked?
And you may ask yourself, 'Where does that highway go to?'

Good criticism? cartoons about wicca and accusations that it's conformist?

I don't know about Darksyde's religion, so I'm not talking about him, but modern Satanists are nearly all atheists. Have you read LaVey? Satan is a symbol.

Based on one post? How prejudiced are you?
And anyways, isn't that the point of being goth? To not be liked?
So, how many goths do you actually know?

Enough.

It's like a fucking Pavlovian reaction. You see the word "Goth" and suddenly you're all over him like he just declared he was a Creationist Trekkie. One of you complained about him attacking members of the ATJ; well, you fucked with him first, so you're getting as well as you're giving.

Good work completely hijacking the thread. Closed.
