I got this quote off www.gothicwindow.com... many ppl have asked me about the whole goth thing.. so have a read. hopefully it'll help u judgemental ppl not to stereotyse ;) It's just the best thing I've heard that decribes how i feel about it. Although i don't believe there's such a thing as a ChristianGoth [dah it's like totally contradictory the tha uh christian faith or wuteVah] but it shows that goths these days are jus ppl who are more into 'poetry'.. and are deep thinkers, have an awsome fashion sence.. well most of them, and are intrigued by the dark. Here's the Light Side Of Goth.
"I'd first like to say I don't really consider myself a goth but because of labels put on people who look like me or dress like me, I am considered to be goth by those people. To me I'm just me. [r�k on] I've been asked the question many times, does a person's style of dress reflect what's inside of that person? What does clothes have to do with what's going on inside of a person or what it reflects about them?..I don't know and to be honest I don't care. I dress in black everyday, I wear my make-up dark, I have a lot of tattoos (inked after I accepted the Lord), I wear a lot of silver Gothic jewelry, I usually have my hair coloured burgundy and black...so I guess you could say I appear to look Goth. I love the colour black, so I wear mostly the colour I love. God also likes this colour, He clothed alot of His creation in this colour (some panthers, bears, whales, bats, cats, dogs, reptiles, insects, etc.). He painted the sky during the night this colour too. I'm sure to Him it's just a colour, it doesn't make the things He's created with the colour black evil. It's people who stereotype that colour that makes it to be evil when it has nothing to do with evil. And to me it's all a waste of precious time and effort. We as Christians [wuteva] should be concerned about much more pressing issues like, people dying each day without knowing the love of Christ...lost for eternity, [i read the next bit, and im like.. ohh.. damn *eyes rolling*] like teens who cut their flesh because they hate living in their own skin, to alleviate the pain...they feel alone and rejected even from their parents, domestic violence, people wanting to commit suicide because they hate life, oh this list could go on and on."
