CypressMoons Goths: Don't always wear black, Don't worship satan, Are NOT evil, Do not want to kill people, Do not hate everybody, Are not always depressed, Can be happy too, Are usually nice people, Are normal, just like you..
1. More than 3/4ths of my wardrobe=black
2. I recently ended a time in which I practiced Theistic Satanism
3. Evil, no, not by my own standards
4. I do want to kill people. But I don't. Something doesn't sit well with becoming Bubba's girlfriend in the state penitentiary.
5. Personal information
6. Personal information again
7. Hundreds will tell you I'm lowest on their list of nice people
8. I'd hate to be normal.
Not trying to prove I'm "hardcore" or anything, I'm just stating my issues with that VF list.

Not trying to prove I'm "hardcore" or anything, I'm just stating my issues with that VF list.The VF list is just reactionary. That is to say, it's listing off "facts" that defy stereotypes about goths. Ironically, all but the first three probably represent the majority of people. Which therefore makes the last sort of parodoxal- if goths are normal, then we (like everyone else) would probably want to kill certain people, hate most people, are regularly depressed, etc.

Oh. I see.
I guess the implication and intention of the term "normal" wasn't as easy to read as I'd hoped.
By "normal" I meant "akin to the majority". neutral

i had a period in my life where i was depressed all the time. But now im over with it (CHEERS).
If you aksed me at that time if something was wrong, i would say something like "NO, not at all. Why in the world should i be deoressed?" But after i started to go for a more alternative look, i started to get more happier ^^

I am at times :/ but not always, far from always. Then again, if you go through life without going through at least one depression, you're abnormal.

GilAskan Goths are rarely depressed, actually. Studies show that goths tend to be pretty happy compared to most people, in fact. Hmmm so I guess that means Im more Goth then Emo.... 3nodding

Goths aren't always depressed, but I think we're well known to be. Even on my happier days I'm depressed, and that's all the time. But I try not to let it get to me and just go about life trying to get through just like everyone else.
I say Goths are not normal or like most people. Compared to the majority of society I feel we are quite different, but we do have to deal with the same major things in our lives such as love, money, work, illness, and anything of basic things in life. But by different we go about and see life through a different light.

Well, not all the time. Most of them aren't and some really enjoy their life more than other people. Emo people are more depressed.

Being depressed has not much if anything to do with being a goth unless your being bullied about it like. Here is an example for you, my girlfriend broke up with me after eight months. Now which ego of mine would be more depressed? the goth or the average joe? see? its just stuff that happens everyone lol. But then again being looked down upon by the majority of people is enough of a reason to depress some lol. Some mind you haha

Some mind you haha Some people get depressed because of things that happen in their lives, but for some people depression is systemic. Genetic. They're born with it and they feel it all their lives (unless it's contained with medication). But in either case, it's got nothing to do with being gothic. Depressed people, whether they were born with it or not, aren't any more likely to become goths than anyone else.
