You're deaf? That's so adorable. I always wondered if there were any deaf goths. have you been deaf forever or is it something you've developed over time? I'm not deaf but I live near Galluedette so I see them take the train alot.

When you walk away
You don't hear me say please
Oh baby, don't go

I've been dressing "different" (I can't say I follow one particular style fully) for years now.

Just yesterday I wore my tripp shorts, a chain with this cross Cross
and black and white checkered socks pretty high up too.

No one really cares how you dress here. Heck theres a mall nearby where you will see about 20 or more goth/emo/whatever kids.

I'm from MA btw.

Simple and clean is the way
that you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go

I dunno, we're pretty hot over here in Nova Scotia too EAST COAST PRIDE!!! Canadian and goth isn't so bad provided the town isn't small i've lived in small towns and a good sized city, it's definitely easier in the city where people usually don't care too much. the country was hard though. i had rocks thrown at me and people spraypainted ******** you f*****t on my house. that wasn't fun.

Australia doesn't care how you dress.

In Melbourne, my city, there are Goths-a-plenty. You're hardly a minority if you're in the city.
Everyone is used to it so no-one cares. It's great!

in england we wear a uniform in school up until the age of 16 but there are goths in the college attatched to my school and they seem accepted enough. in towns and villiages it draws too much attention but in the city its fine

I thought I had posted here before,but, I guess not.

What is there to say about being Goth in Philly.
Most actual Goths are adults,but, we do have a rather small but strong scene.

In the most part, the majority is negative reactions. Ranging from stares to odd questions. Before the reconstruction of the park at 2nd & Jackson (The old hangout for the "normal" kids.), if I had to walk by, 90% of the time it was inevitable to have stuff thrown at me and my friends, as well as many rude & hurtful comments. None of us were really outlandish, either. They still say stuff to me on the street,but, they're nothing to me. I actually also get many compliments among the negatives,though.

In my small, ignorant little town in the US of A, you are grouped like this:

A person wears black
A person wears black -> cuts -> classed as emo
Person wears black -> doesn't cut -> classed as goth

That's it.
neutral neutral neutral

I belong in Europe.
The only time I see goths (which is very rare) is in the city.
Everywhere else they're like, scene or skater or emo style or whatever.
Mallgoths don't count.

It sounds like Goths aren't really looked well at in many places, that's such a shame.

I think Columbine (next to fishnet and wearing black bit) had somehting to do with our dislike over here (US) but has something like that happened in other countries to make society more...standoff-ish at us? Or maybe it's an Int. thing to not trust those people in black listening to that dark music... sweatdrop

Wow, lots of different things everywhere.

Here in Cali things aren't too bad, at least where I live. My mother is against the stereotype of goth because my father could be considered one who fell into that category. Sadly I will have to admit to being one of the "mall goth" types, but you know, I don't think its because I am trying to be poser. I enjoy the goth culture completely, and if I happen to dress in regular apparel (say jeans and a nicer, more sophisticated green top) people don't think of me as one (except for my friends, that is.) In general I try to expand my dress code or what not, wearing corsets, thrift store clothes, layering skirts to make them more comfier and puffier, and as well as dressing myself in the mall-goth style.

In the end, its not that I want to be labeled as goth and be recognized as one when I look like the "definition" of goth. I find how I dress and how I am to be comfortable. I am sure other goths or whatnot would disagree with how I like to dress myself, but I don't really care or mind because in the end it matters how comfortable I feel.

As many have noted, American society varies in its opinion when it comes to the darker presence of goths. My school's social structure typically groups us with the emos and more "dark of heart", and its uncommon to see someone like me sit in an AP class (now that I think about it, I may be the only one) amongst the rest of the more "mainstream" kids.

As for my boyfriend, apparently he likes the mysterious appeal I seem to be giving off. sweatdrop

In the end though before I drive you all crazy I never really care about how others see me. In the workplace I am capable to bend within their standards and dress more formally. I can do that. However, if people are afraid of me because of my gothic attire and musical tastes, I pity them because they are missing out on conversing with some of the most interesting people you can ever come across in your lifetime.

The only mystery around me is whether or not I'm involved in illegal dealings, am a man or a woman, and sacrifice rabbits in my yard. confused
