I was walkin behind this one chick and I saw part of her back, and there was one visible slash scar. After gym class today we were changing, and I saw 2 (count em) 2 emo/goths that had like rows of slashes going horizontally down their backs. Is this some sort of freaking recognition or something?

Well sometimes goths------OK even I cant answer this. But my educated guess is either they like to hurt themselves or they get off on others hurting them. Ive never met a goth or emo with slashes on their back.

Maybe it's a gothic variation on the donkey punch, only it involves scratching and backs instead.

Maybe they have parties where they gather to cut each other now?

I don't know. People have botox parties, isn't that the same thing just with needles?

It looked pretty weird, and it did look like it was done by some sort of blade. What the hell is the point of it, and how do they even reach back there? Do their friends help them or something lol.

Well cutting yourself isnt a part of Goth culture if anything its scene not emo. Goth is a romantic scene so its probably just a bunch of kids who dont know the history and just go by Marilyn Manson

Some sort of car accident or something? People can get scars from more than just cutting themselves.

I doubt it, they were all sorta crisscrossed and there were quite a lot of them.

He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. As for the marks, they sound like whip marks. Sounds like they get off, or just enjoy, pain which a lot of goths seem to.

If what the topic creator says is true and the marks are real it would be plausible to assume that they got the whipping while having sex. Case solved.

It wouldn't necessarily have anything to do with sex. They can be into just causing pain.

They think they're being original. That's what being emo is all about. It's about claiming to be original but dressing the exact same way, having the exact same personality, and listening to the exact same music as every other emo kid.

I am goth. I have slash marks on my back. But I don't go to your school.

Maybe it's just a coincidence or they did it on purpose like a sorta frat thing.

Those are posers, not goths, goth has nothing to do with cutting yourself, it never has. most proper goth's are happy people, and are usually alot older than 15/16 years, they are usually in theyre 20's or mid to late 30's early 40's
