Goth
 
This thread will be devoted to the discussion of Goth-Style music and all the different types of it.

There are many types of "goth" music ranging from Marliyn Manson to Wumpscut. We can talk about all of them in this thread.

I myself am very gothy and like many of the different types. I tend to lean more towards indtustrial like Manson, NIN, and Orgy. I also like Goth-Metal alot.

Some people just dress goth and don't really know much about the music or what it means to be goth. I am very into my music and am using this thread to seek out others like me on this board and talk about my little obsession.

I hope many of you that are "children of the night" like myself with post on here and discuss your darker side out in the open and compare ideas and subcultures around the world. This is for anyone with knowledge or an opinion about the style and music, so whatever you want to say, post away!

I am not a Goth fan, but I respect people that are.

Rocket Executive November 15th, 2004 1:24 PM

That's good...I'm glad to see that you don't just judge people based on the fact that they look different. Many people are that way though...(sigh)

[Technya] November 16th, 2004 1:51 PM

Then you and I have something very in common Rocket Executive. ;) I don't go around labeling myself or that kind of stuff but yeah when it comes down to it I am also Goth, new to it to be more precisse. I met a guy that was Goth and I became very interested in the music, culture, etc. I like The Cruxshadows, Skinny Puppy, NightWish, Lacuna Coil, Haggard, Kamelot, and many more that I can't really spell right and I'd be here all afternoon naming them LOL. Guess you found another "child of the night" here as well.

Yeah, I don't really like to call myself that, but it's hard for many people to know what you are talking about unless you say it. I've never been a big fan of labels, but there really isn't any other way to put it. We are what we are, and that is dark ones: goth. I'm glad to have met someone else like me on here, especially a girl. Close to my age too to boot. Too bad you're already paired up though, lol. That would have been the icing on the cake. :D

[Technya] November 16th, 2004 6:21 PM

Yeah, that is awesome, but I have heard of double pairs in other forums, can't that work here as well? It'd just be perfect, you sound like me, I ain't a fan of labels and like you said others just don't get it unless you go and put the label on. Sadly it happens a lot. But it'd just be great if the pair up could work, or maybe something else.

Rocket Executive November 16th, 2004 6:28 PM

Yah, I don't think they do the double pair thing here, but I still need a twin. Plus, I'm still always available for AIM and Yahoo chats, especially AIM. I likes to talk to my kind of ppl. Makes me feel like I can be myself again.

Yeah, that is so true. It's a bit easier to be yourself with people like you than with those that aren't. LOL You should see how I look between the group I hang around with when I go out with my brother and sister and their friends. It's kinda funny but it tends to get lonely if you know what I mean. Pretty amazing to have found someone else like me around these parts, it's cool.

Lady of the Shadows November 16th, 2004 7:24 PM

*walks in.
wow how did i miss this realy.
Yea i am a goth i guess you can say it. I was a hard core goth in high school .Do to stuff i have changed but will i love the musice and i once and while i tend to get back in full goth.
Also freaks out my friends to see me like that. lol i miss the old days.

Rocket Executive November 16th, 2004 7:27 PM

Yeah, I missed em so much I had to go back. I have my ex to thank for that. She pestered me till I went back to it and I am so glad I did. I forgot how happy it made me. You might wanna think about doing the same Cassie. It really helps me be who I wanna be.

Lady of the Shadows November 16th, 2004 7:33 PM

Yea i know what you mean. Little by little i reagian what i once was. Just takes time. I mean well you know james.
I have deicde to be my self agian but like any thing els it takes time and steps realy.
Also i am tried of being every one freaken mattte x.x also getting sick.... nm lol should not go there.

Rocket Executive November 16th, 2004 7:48 PM

Yeah i know what you mean. People will be people...unfortunately lol.

[Technya] November 16th, 2004 7:56 PM

Hell, I'm myself even though things can get a little tough with my parents and people, but generally people suck. I personaly don't care what they think of me and such. It just feels so good to unleash your fury and do, be, think and act the way I want not how they want me to act. Scares people lol, like today this guy comes up to me and says: "Let me tell you something. No one will ever love you like Jesus will." I was like what's up with that. These fanatics can be a apain at times.

Lady of the Shadows November 16th, 2004 8:08 PM

lol try being Wiccan like me... they never stop.
Wel if jsut people then i would have said f*** them realy.
But there more to my stroy than just how people see me.
Any way i am working on it. peace by peace XP

[Technya] November 16th, 2004 8:14 PM

Awesome! I been doing a lot of research on Wicca, have been considering it very strongly, I find it very interesting and makes far more sense than Catholic does and there are a lot of things that bother me with that religion so I've been browsing through and came across Wicca and I guess I found something real. Still donnu much just one or two basics but I'm working on it. Anyway, keep it up, just be yourself and f*** what the world thinks of you, in the end what truly matters is what you believe in not what they think.

Lady of the Shadows November 16th, 2004 8:25 PM

Yea your right. Realy if people cant excpet you then they were never ment to be close to you.
I mean even if you don't look what you feel in side. You are still that.
Any way i feel the same about Wicca. It just seems more naturl to me than any of the other religions.

Rocket Executive November 16th, 2004 8:26 PM

I'm very anti-religion. I believe in God, but organized religion is the devil, lol. It even says in the Bible that most of the churches Jesus visited were a mockery to his Word and were worshipping power, money, greed, and the Devil, not Him.

Lady of the Shadows November 16th, 2004 8:28 PM

Thus this is why i am Wiccan. I do not belve(sp) in the Bible at all so what you just said about it I realy don't give a s*** about.
I was raised on that and found to it be very distubing and just goes agenst every thing that flows in the world.

[Technya] November 16th, 2004 8:37 PM

Yeah, I have to agree with you guys. I have been moving out of Catholic believes, they're just too prejudiced for my taste. And as far as the bibble goes, it is just a book writen by man. They're papers neatly put together by a man not by God, I do believe in God but I have my own way of looking at things. That the church doesn't seem to like it then that's their problem. Unfortunately I'm taking Christian Faith in college and I just hear all the stuff the prof. says and I just wanna pound his head in. The Holy Inquisition was anything but that and they're acting like that now a days, they see one of us or hear that a person is Wiccan they quickly turn and point that little finger of theirs yelling "heretic!". Most of them just sicken me, that's why I'm moving up.

Lady of the Shadows November 16th, 2004 8:44 PM

geee don't remind mind me of what i left behind plz.
Yo remember all that is just pain.
I mean my one of the many reason me and my mother and her fmaily don't talk.
Long story there.
The bible is write by man and man is flawed and thus the book is flaud. I don't think god ever use something like that.

[Technya] November 16th, 2004 8:48 PM

True, please excuse that brief moment of pain. I've had to put up with tons of it myself. Not a good thing but yeah, what you said is true. Just wish these people would be a bit more open minded.

Lady of the Shadows November 16th, 2004 8:52 PM

Oh yea i know what you mean.
It is ok to let it out. We are all friends here Shadow of Ash.
I know how it can be.
I just wish i could say more with out going over the line here.

[Technya] November 16th, 2004 9:00 PM

Yeah, there are a few things to be said but let's act civilized :P. Anyway, leaving the pain of religion behind, what are you guys like dressing and with music and when did you go Goth and so on...to get to know one another better or at least for me to know you guys beter since I'm new here.
Hmmmmmm, nosey I know :P

Lady of the Shadows November 16th, 2004 9:07 PM

lol very. I got in to goth in high school. My first year. I dated a goth and got in to it. Though me and hin broke up we staied friends ans hanged out with the same people.
I am more of a layed back person so mostly back jeans and black t-shirst or i have the neated thing. Also like the chain stuff.
I do dress up once in a blue moon. That realy fllor my guyds friends.... will not say more.
My fav band is Linkin park... any thing them i love it. Also Mason from time to time. Bands and singer along thoughs lines.
A lot of my art realy are is dark/goth or mythic. *keeps going on endlessly

[Technya] November 16th, 2004 9:17 PM

Cool :D I got into it during the summer of this year when I met this guy who was a Goth and he introduced me to this darkened world, I used to be a real metal head but I find this music to be more of my liking, it has more meaning in my opinion. I normally dress all in black, black pants and black shirts, some range from band shirts to those of a medievel style, I've had my eye on some boots I saw in Hot Topic and am running over to them when the check comes in lol. For the mean time I wear black Converse, I wear as jewelry a black leather choker and chains as well, with thorned crosses etc. I also wear black leather spike bracelets and I had an armour ring but sadly it was lost somewhere. And my favorite item which am still wearing 'cause it's a bit cold, my black reverend style overcoat :D. I just love NightWish and Cruxshadows, it's mentioned on my first post in this thread lol.

Lady of the Shadows November 16th, 2004 9:27 PM

Well i waer a black and chain chocker most the time. Along with my dragon nack;ess on a rop(not chain). Also my Wiccan pentagram wit ha dragon in the center. I wear silver rings from time to time. I don't like purses. I use wallets like guys. Thats got a pentagram. Balck with a chain. Also got a back and flame braclet i like to wear.
As for music... wel i got my fav Band buti will give any one a chance.

lol i am a rtist. I for go tto put my art in the other post. I fixed it but still.

Rocket Executive November 16th, 2004 9:29 PM

Yeah, I'm into lots of different music, and I dress in all black. I also have a kind of biker-goth look when I'm in colllege cauese I don't always wear my overcoat and makeup. Sometimes just my leather jacket and boots and spikes will do. :D

You remind me of cloud from FF& or a blonde main character from FF8
Both are hottys (ok i think that all i need to say on that) lol

I just wsh there more goth to hang out with around here.... >>
As in where i live IRL

Dark Magician November 16th, 2004 9:35 PM

I have a verry dark life, more than many of you would think. I am a punk rocker, skater, and proud of it. I guess any kind of Goth, rock, punk or anything of that matter would be cool to listen too.

Rocket Executive November 18th, 2004 10:05 PM

Yeah, I know what you mean. No one on here guessed I was goth by my posts, niceness, and general personality. I hide my inner darkness because it tends to depress ppl and even scare them away. That's why this is here, to talk about that part of us, our clothes, music, feelings, way of life, etc. We don't have to hold back here. We are among ppl like us. We all understand it's like to walk the path of darkness with a heart that desires the light....

[Technya] November 18th, 2004 10:10 PM

Yeah, I really feel like I'm not scaring people im this thread, although if I talk this way in other threads they might just have a heart attack or something, so I guess this is the one thread that no matter what I say I won't be thrown into an asylum for what I think or say.

Rocket Executive November 18th, 2004 10:34 PM

Yeah, it's a nice little safe haven, and a good place for us to talk about things that are goth. Most of it they either wouldn't care about, or understand, or agree with. Here we can say and do as we please without feeling like crazy pessimests, lol.

[Technya] November 18th, 2004 10:46 PM

Yes, very true! So what topic should we talk about?

Lady of the Shadows November 19th, 2004 6:39 AM

*walks in
Sorry... x.x
I for got to check the thread till now... got drama in my life lol
When don't i have drama is the real is the real freaken question >>
Any way what are you all talking about now?

Rocket Executive December 2nd, 2004 4:37 PM

I'm in wonder about "preppy" people and goths social interactions in the current day. When I was in high school, all the preppy guy gave me a hard time and I was constantly fighting them to stand up for myself. The girls were just as bad, either avoiding me or telling me what I wore and did was weird. Now, all of the sudden I have all these preppy friends that think my style is cool, and many of the girls say a skinnier, dark romantic guy who wears makeup is hot and I've actually dated alot of them. Not to much satisfaction, mind you, but some of them were really nice and I had a good relationship with them. Since when did it become cool to be like we are and why do girls like guys in makeup now? I'm lost...

Viktor December 3rd, 2004 12:46 AM

Hmm, suppose you could say I'm goth... Don't like labels as well... I don't listen stricly to goth-metal :P I like to listen to all sorts of rock...... I'm an insomniac so I suppose if you wanted to give me another label you could call me a person of the night.... Also I'm a satanist... I'm not to good with titles but I believe that would fall under goth yes?... You people are older than me.... Guess I kind of got into it because my dad is a member of the church of satan so I was raised in that group of people. :P

[EDIT] Also all though I do however hate the overly happy people of this world I don't see how you could label them preps and ask in return they dont label you a goth.... Kind of stupid.

lol well just that the dark goth thing is in now James. Yea i get that a lot now. Guys realy like me becouse i have a vampire look to me. They think it is hot and stuff. Even had chicks ask me where i get my make up and stuff so they can be like me and stuff. Just a trend i think. I'm not sure realy.
Just enjoy it while it last thats all i can say.

Viktor December 3rd, 2004 5:57 PM

Well, I guess I just wear what I do to keep people away from me.... And it works.. So I don't get any social interaction :P.....
