Figuring this one out isn't too hard... If you dont want to be considered whatever it is, dont hang out with them and wear black. Thats just asking to be called one.
Use your head... :smile:

"Seriously, if you wear all black you should expect to be stereotyped as being a goth. People who know nothing about the sub-culture just group anyone that wears black as being a goth."Actually, it could just be that you're coming from a funeral .
has anyone asked u if u were a goth or do u just think people think that of you? In reply to: some of them are "gothic"..but lately they have basically turned EMO they are nither... they are the followers of wut is popular at the time. In reply to:however someone dresses doesn't make them 'that' person............ i agree. i get in these..moods.. i guess u'd say that i want to dye my hair and change how i dress. one night i even was going to cut my face. i even broke the glass... yea i'm glade i didn;t now. it was just one of my moods.i wanted to have people be afraid of me. looking dark does that to some people (i mean beingscared of people) but then now well blending in is safer than standing Even if some were scared of me i';d still stand out and get pointed at and bla bla b la i don;t want that. so i like looking like all the other guys. i wear my hair shaggy and wear polos, tee shirts, tan or camo shorts..boardshorts I love my boardshorts lol.. ( u know wut i mean..) i dk... wuts safer to have people scared of me or look like a sheep... u know. or maybe u don't..
this is more of a reply to everyone..not just FaBMX. The thing is..i like black..so i'm not going to go out and buy new clothes..i love these people i just HATE what they are doing right now..and all its going to do is cause drama. I feel its my responsibility to do something about them since i'm friends with them, but i have no clue how to approach this, i dont want to just sit down somewhere and be like"hey stop being emo".and to the person who posted about satanism:thats fine, im not against any religion and i dont think mine is better than any.i just dont want people to think im a satanist.cuz face it.first thing that is going to come to peoples minds is that i talk to the devil and sacrifice poor cute little animals becuase im a badassrolls eyes.maybe 5% of people are going to think something besides that.i have a really good reputation at my school/work and around town..i dont want people thinking differently.i dont care what other people that im never going to see again think of me. but i dont want all of these people who respect me and a lot of people who ask me for advice to think that i cut myself and am emo and i worship the devil and all that craphopefully this helped clear my situatin up a bit, and thanks for all the relpies
This is the downside of free expression: people will interpret what you do however they want to, and it can have bad implications for you. But I would think that anyone who knows you and respects you won't suddenly think you're a kitten killer just because you wear black. If they do, they're pretty ignorant.Imagine what guys who wore their hair long in the mid-to-late sixties went through. Most of them weren't hippie flower children acid heads.
There's so many people who always wear dark or black clothes here. I don't see what the big deal is, it doesn't make a person goth. A friend of mine said that while he was in the US for a year, he wore black a lot (as he does now), and apparently people thought that he was gothic because of this. Stereotypes are so strong in schools there, it's unbelievable. He plays football (about 6'3" 210+ lbs), is on the swim team, and plays soccer so I suppose you could call him a jock. At the same time, he doesn't act typically arrogant the way a sterotypical jock should be, he isn't obsessed with darkness the way a goth would be, and he's actually a really nice guy. He's also in band (the only football player on the swim team, and also the only one in band).Hell, right now I'm wearing dark jeans and a long black sleeved shirt. My jacket is black, many of my shirts are dark blue or black, I generally wear dark jeans. I don't always dress that way, but I am in no way gothic. It's a stereotype made by people who are stupid.
Why do you want to be friends with emo fake punk bastards? We have girls like that at our school, she wears like Greenday, Sum41 and Good Charlotte shirts, she thinks she is being a "rebel"
Well, for me im prolly would be a goth if a listed my personality on paper, but i don't dress gothic.
I wish people could be accepted as individuals. The more I talk to people, the more I realise that my assumptions were presumptuous.
Who cares? I mean, maybe they just sort of like the style... What's wrong with that?
i didnt become their friend AFTER they were like that. ive been friends with them for 4-5 years..and just recently they turned all emo and stupid...and i really dont want to throw away 5 years of friendships becuase they are putting on an act
