My Type Of Goth
63% Normal
23 Comments

I dress Gothic with Pentagrams, Spikes, Boots, Bondage Pants and other stuff but I dont go out to Gothic Clubs and my music style isnt exactly Goth, ranging from Pop to Heavy Metal. Is this normal?
Do you think it's normal?

yes that is perfectly normal
If your not really goth why do you dress like one are you some type of wanna be
LOL. I don't like the goth look. emo girls are very pretty, I wish I could do my hair like they do, but i don't know how. I don't think you are a wannabe, just be who you are, and do what you want to do, don't worry about what others think about you.
emo is better
hmm i dont like the "goth" look
or the "emo"
but hey whatever blows your goat.

This is Perfectly normal. Except, don't turn to the Emo Side and start cutting your wrists, stuff like that. I mean, their is nothing really wrong with that type of life style, except, don't end up , like abusing yourself, cutting ur wrists, ur throt, ,stuff like that.
Other than that, you really have nothing to worry about.
just be what makes you happy :)
why you dress like a steriotype?
dress how you wanna dress! if you dont you will live unhapily! make the decision and dont look back just keep goin with what you like !!
Super stereotypical story bro.

pop and heavy metal is an interesting combination, seriously.
everyone is different man , few ppl are fully goth anyway.
Look, whats with all you haters?!,Okay this is a "is it normal" website, were not on here to critiscize about how people are!, there asking a questiong you fukwits answer it with a real,MEANINGFULL answer, god! get a life, and there is ALOT OF DIFFERENCE between "emo" and "goth" anubis, gothics arn't "wrist cutters" we dress the way we like, gothic has NOTHING to do with Wrist cutting?! wtf! get a life for go sake.

Oh, and yes, i however am goth, its normal, if you like it hun, go for it! it doesn't matter weather you dress like a goth and dont listen to thier type of music? you like it then forgod sake just do it!...
That's normal - there are many different types of 'gothic' - music, architecture, literature, clothes, etc... no one should discredit you or think you should like every aspect of gothic.

Whatever you're comfortable with.
So, what you're saying is that your fashion is goth, but your music taste isn't? BFD. Wear what you want, listen to what you want.
I think what your doing is completely normal.

I'm not into labeling my style like some trivial people although most tend to think of me as 'goth' or 'emo' from time to time, I really don't care.

Who cares about your music and clothing taste? As long as you feel comfortable with your self there should be no problem. Who says all goths dress like that or listen to music like that anyways?

Some people (At least the people I know) are completely 'goth' and you can see them in something that only someone who is consider 'prep' would wear. Most people are surprised when I tell them that I listen to somethings that would be consider 'emo' or that some thing that 'some snobby rich kid' would listen too.

You're not a poser. Heck if we really wanted to pinpoint all the people who are by sticking a dot or something on them do you know how many people who you though were genuine would be wearing one. Point is (I'm a writer sorry...) if you honestly like what you like who's to tell you it's not normal or not, right?
It's really is normal, just because you have intrest in the art of it, doesn't mean you can't have other intrests... heh, i was born a metalhead, speed metal cradle of filth fanatic. but ranging from other genres i have liked techno, some of soft rock, and others. The only thing i despise is rap and hip-hop.
I've been into gothic subculture and their philosophy and came to a conclusion it's better to just dress like a goth than actually let this sh*t affect your life. It can really damage one's psychic health.
So, I think you're absolutely normal. Especially, as long as you listen to any kind of metal, it's fine to wear 'dark' outfit. The connection between style and music is there anyway, no need to follow any strict rules. This underground stuff is about individuality anyway:)
i dont know if i would call it normal-per say, but i guess its not so bad.
Of course it is normal. You are just doing your own thing and that's OK. Some people like the fashion of a certain subculture but just don't like the music. It's just what suits you best and that's all right.
Go find the right person for you
'Goth' is just a fashion statement...in fact you might not even be 'Goth' anymore anyhow. This post is at least a year old... Don't think of fashion styles as having different 'sects,' unless you mean it in jest. Why not experiment with different fashion styles?

This is the typical high school mentality: You think that the way you dress today is going to define the course of the rest of your life. What will define the rest of your life is what you read and study academically. When you're done studying, so you can have a career a few years from now, then get dressed and go out dancing that night; maybe "Goth" style...or Emo, or whatever floats your boat.
