Wannabe goth??

[LadyBatLove]

THIS IS SOMETHING MY SISTER WANTS TO KNOW. She does not have an account because shes 12 so she asked me to put this up for her, so please stop reporting this account for being underage. I'M 15.

I'm about 12 years old (my sis is), and people look at me as a "poser" when I call myself goth because I'm so young. I'm no poser. What can I do to make people see that a goth doesn't have to be 15 or whatever?

What type of music do you listen to.
The hair cut thing was irrelevant.

Dead or Alive is the worst fighting game series ever made.
Oh, and doesn't Gaia ToS say you have to be at LEAST 13 years old to be a member?

If you're going to get a new hairstyle, your best bet is to model it after a real person, not a cartoon character.

Well the first thing you do is put this in the correct subforum. This goes in Life Issues/Fashion; I trust you will understand why.

Yea it dusnt realy matter if your 12 or 18, your still going to get alot of crap from ppl. Just about all of us here have had our fear share of crap from pp. Just dress the way you want, listen to what you want and dont worry about what others think. Who realy cares if they think your goth or not. Now with the hole hair thing, I dont realy see too many women with a shaved head but thats just me XP
This women seems to pull it off, but its just a anouther game XP

I know. I just kinda thought about it at the time xD
Umm...I listen to Rock, Punk, Jrock, and randomly, techno xD It's funny cause nobody listens to techno anymore besides the internet.

Well. You can still, arguably, be a goth. At 12 I was listening to Blink-182 and wearing yellow tank tops and I stil considered myself goth. (I mis that shirt. T'was the smex).
Even though you appear not to be a fan of goth rock, if you're active in the fashion and community...
Yes, I would say you're perfectly acceptable as a goth, dearie.

Goths can't be any younger than fourteen.

No it's true!
Konstantinos said so in his book "Vampires, the Occult, the Fiction, and the Reality"

"...[and] unlike Gothic people (whom come into their lifestyle after fourteen years of age), the Vampire has existed for an untold number of years, born into their plight."

Besides, how can somebody under the age of fourteen truly appreciate the angst and darkness of life?
"Oh no my schoolmates are all preps and nobody likes me BAAAWWWWW"
Please.

That's just retarded.
She can consider herself all she wants, but a goth is a fan of gothic rock. That's it. You take away the music from the equation, and all you have is a poseur; also known as 95% of this guild's members.

You have a fair point. Although I have to argue with the 95% of members.
Most of the active members seem to be fans of goth rock, from what I've noticed.
Question: How do you distinguish yourself as a goth if you're listening to a variety? Music isjust a part of it.
Right now I'm listening to Skeletal family. Goth Rock. But later today I may listen to Typical Cats, or Anti Flag. Who's not to say I'm not a gangsta or punk?
Music is a fundamental part, and by farthe one with the most credibility, but I think goth has evolved from just fans of goth rock, that's clinging to the past. There's a lot of goths who are listening to otherwise, such as industrial or such.
