I'm not asking you explain allof them to me, I'm asking is being cyber industrial a good idea or should I just forget the entire goth thing or should I go for a different style??? I need an honest opinion here :) please

Dude, make your own style. Don't conform just because you feel like you need a "style," it will only make you feel like an alien in your own skin. Then again maybe you should go for it. It will be one of life's lessons.
EDIT: If people can't except you for who you are, or how you appear then **** them. You don't need 'em.

This is really funny...mostly because you're TRYING to be labeled. When you get older, you'll look back at this thread and laugh.
I dunno, goth seems like an anti-social style. From your posts you don't seem like that kind of person.wrlyy
Thats generalizing goths. Not all are antisocial. By that rational all "preps" are social when, infact, I know many preps who are antisocial and dress preppy because they feel it will ease them from the socially akward position they are in.

Honestly, I'm friends with a lot of "goths" but it's best to just be yourself...by trying to be different in this way you're actully just being a conformist. Being yourself is NEVER conformity.
Gothic is a sub culture adhering to creativity, independence and a love for dark art and literature (known as gothic art/ literature) as well as gothic architecture.

Gothic is a sub culture adhering to creativity, independence and a love for dark art and literature (known as gothic art/ literature) as well as gothic architecture. that was developed from the music, its was basically music in the 1980's. and it was more like punk back then.

Yes....the music came first and goth is long dead. And I suppose the literature and art that developed in the mid-late 19th century came later than the music from the late 20th century? Not to mention the architecture that dates back as far as 1144. Music is a very small part of it, and in my opinion neglectable, it's not what its about.
O.o Never "turn" goth. Be yourself. That's all you need to be. Don't fullfil the hunger of those who do not like you for who you are. Though, it's quite funny how people just automatically assume and call you "goth" and "emo" anyway for wearing just black whenever you feel like it. :| Anyway, be yourself. It'll save you in the long run. You won't regret being yourself, but most likely regret being not yourself.

*sigh* The literature was not regarded as goth back when it was written.  After the term goth became accepted it was then applied to anything dark and gloomy. It's just descriptive and isn't really a "style" of people. Those who call themselves goth now are wannabes. Goth died.
So many people are saying "be yourself don't turn goth. Don't conform" lol. Does no one see the problem with those comments? What if being goth is something this person is just wanting to be and *shock* is part of this person being themselves. Maybe they just wanna try something new to.

What does the name matter? Call it dark romanticist for all I care.

How is being yourself if you decide to "turn" goth? I have nothing against goths but IMO it shouldn't be something that you just turn into.

But she's turning goth. It's not who she is, it's what her friends want her to become, or so that's what I got out of it after reading it.

I'm just myself and that's what I'll always be. Being yourself is being unique, not another "lifeless form" that is same as others.

IWe all have different parts of our selves that we need to explore maybe this is just one of those things.

I'm just myself and that's what I'll always be. Being yourself is being unique, not another "lifeless form" that is same as others. The original and in my opinion true description of a "Goth" (besides the Ostro- and Visi-Goths) is not really a strict set of rules. Its enjoying art (which can be expressed in many ways), literature and music in many forms, which mostly adhere to those dark themes and take place in gothic locations. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy a comedy, but it's more of a deeper enjoyment out of that darker art, like how classical music is more profoundly enjoyable than other types of music. It's also creativity and independence which may cause them to disown the name Goth itself, but also a sense of enjoying individuals who are like minded. It's certainly not the teenager at highschool who happens to wear black clothes and reads magazines about witches and ghosts.

There will always be people who live in the past...
why would you want to turn goth?? The only people that look at you and think your cool are other people that dress gothic....the rest of the world just thinks your an idiot... i hate gothic people...theres no reason to be goth, they just want attention and to be made fun of for being goth so they can talk about how bad life is....even though if they just acted normal it would be perfectly fine..
Yo just be yourself, stop trying to be all depressed for no reason. Freakin you might turn our crazy for being goth when you really don't want to be. Whose friends would want them to be gothic and anti-social, go to parties and have fun
