Sorry, No Emos..

Hell, just another reason to not self-stereotype like that.

Stupid people take less kindly to goth kids than smart people do. I might just sit there and laugh at them, while someone much dumber will sit there and actually hate them for being different.

Dressing differently and provocatively is a cheap excuse to stand out as it is. Most people who take their appearance that far are only doing so in order to substitute for a lack of personality.

 

Can I ask why you are turning down knowing somebody because of what they wear?
She might be really nice.
I'd not turn down a possible friendship just because of some petty stereotype.
If she turned out to be a miserable sod, fair enough.
If you don't want to know her pass on her page and I will ... lol.

 

wow actual wisdom, beware, people will accuse you of a thoughtcrime

I am sure plenty of them are annoying pretentious assholes, but slagging someone off immediately like that is equally cunty

 

Life experience has taught me that people who go so far to stereotype themselves are not worth my time. I am very picky with people as it is, for I believe that I only deserve the best people around me. I will give anyone a chance if they approach me in a friendly manner, yet I will not talk to someone who is so obviously superficial unless they actually talk to me.

She was probably really nice... yet she also lacked a lot of common sense. Some things are just not worth dying for... sticking up to your goth appearance is one of them. You don't see many adults who act in such a way because they either outgrow it or realize that people will hate them for it.

 

I never truly make fun or judge someone for what their outsides are like, now when they speak or talk that is a different story...Besides we all go through certain phases especially when we are young...This thread is entertaining though, which RT has been on a roll with them lately...

 

Emo, Goth, Preppy, Jock, Skater, Punk, Hippie, Blah Blah BLAH.

I Agree With Odon.

 

I'd not really give a toss.
I agree with your assumption of stupid people.

We all (well mos of us who can afford too) choose to wear clothes that reflect our personality.
Why do you seem to always generalise so much?

 

That's pretty creative, sweetheart.

 

i'm such a jock

 

....

 

There is a difference between dressing to reflect one's personality and dressing to reflect the stereotype one imposes upon one's personality.

Hell, I'll wear a dashiki once in a while, and even bell-bottoms... yet it is not because I'm trying to look like a hippie or such, but because I like the clothes.

That girl was obviously extremely gothed out. It's a phase. She has not yet discovered what her personality really is, and she is only hindering her search for self-awareness through conforming to a stereotype which makes her feel accepted and comfortable. Conforming to a stereotype is taking the easy way out of this so called search for the discovery of the self. I personally feel extremely comfortable with myself, and feel no need to conform to anything that does not directly represent my thoughts and feelings. I am aware of the fact that I'm a dynamic and constantly changing individual, and my dress, among other things reflects that. Simply conforming to one stereotype hinders one's personal growth.

Yet all and all, don't get me wrong... she did not deserve to be killed, the people who did it should be severely punished, and so on. I wish that society would be more open minded, and it has indeed make amazing... practically unbelievable... social progress in the last century. It is a wonderful thing that such cases as this are merely unique incidents. This girl wouldn't have even had the chance to impose such a stereotype upon herself 100 years ago.

 

Sometimes I wonder if you actually have friends.
I don't know if it is an act, but you are a terribly pretentious individual.

She was not sticking up for her goth image.
She was talking to them, and suddenly they turned on her and her boyfriend.
The people that killed her were drunken idiotic louts.
Instead of running off she stud up for her boyfriend and paid the ultimate price.
Before you write somebody off like that atleast have the decency to read up about it more intently.

Edit: I think this answers your other post as well

 

I only seem pretentious to you because you're intimidated by my confidence. I simply know what I want and I know how to get it.

She was sticking up for her goth image, why else would those youths hassle them? The article stated that she has been hassled over it before... which leads me to think that she was aware of the danger she put herself in when facing those idiots.

She could have chosen to avoid that park, or to not goth herself out too much, yet she didn't.

 

And second of all, whores in miniskirts desrve to get raped. so there!

 

"Emos" just need attention all the time, and they get it because they dress so weird. i mean its all the same. thank GOD i dont see them anymore since im out of high school...and the people dress normal in the real world,..lol

 

Thanx
i wish i could take credit for it, it's from that site graphjam http://graphjam.com/

- its a spin off from icanhascheesebuger.

It does explain emos quite well though.

I dunno, I have trouble with "emo" cause i can't quit figure the big divide between goth and emo,(maybe it IS just the suck) ...
and maybe I'll admit to having been a bit goth, I'd hate for people to just judge me based on my eyeliner as some sort of culture sheep part of some "group" emotional preteens,
I am who I am -I just happen to sometimes like a few things often considered "goth".Like the way I look with dark makeup in black clothes.

 

That'd be hot. On you.

 

That is one of the downsides to text. you cant tell when someone is joking. I concede to sea monster and the other guy.. shroom.. something.. I cant remember which shroom you are.. I just really dislike the word faggot.. makes me cringe.
anyway, Is wasnt that I dismissed her because of pretense or airs of superiority, and it was possible that she was nice, but honestly, Im done growing into person Im gonna be for the rest of my life. Ive figured out who i am, and i dont have the time or patience to babysit someone through their insecurities and depressive tendencies. I just cant stress enough how whiners make me want to get violent. I love babyhellfires diagram...
