Goth or Gothic. What comes to your mind when you see these words?
Death? Evil? Satan? Dark clothing? Marilyn Manson? Depression?
The goth subculture began in the early 1980s as part of the punk subculture. When punk began to die out, the goth subculture broke off from it and became its own subculture.
The goth subculture is one of the most misunderstood subcultures today. This is mainly because of the media's potrayal and people's misconceptions about what the goth subculture is.
StereotypesMany people think that goths are people who are depressed. This is false. Another stereotype is that goths are all obessed with death and are suicidal. This is definitely
NOT true. Of course, there are goths who are like this. Look at it this way - there are many suicidal people among people who are not part of the goth subculture. Does that mean you are suicidal? No. Next, another stereotype about goths is that they are all Satanists. This is, to me, the biggest and most stupid stereotype about the goth subculture. There are many goths who are Christians, Buddhists, Catholics etc. Of course, there are some goths who are Satanists but that does not mean that all of them are. The subculture is being exploited in many ways by the media and other people. In plays and movie, people who act as goths are usually acting as a depressed and lonely character, an outcast of society. Again, this contributes to the common thinking that all goths are like this.
People who are judging goths based on what they heard about them or the way they dress and present themselves are, in my opinion, narrow-minded. This is what I call judging a book by its cover.
The MusicWhen we talk about gothic music, the general public thinks of Marilyn Manson. First off, Marilyn Manson is
NOT goth. Also, many people think they're listening or talking about gothic music when its actually death metal or shock rock. Gothic music tends to be more operatic and dark. Examples of goth bands are Nightwish and Sisters of Mercy. Of course, not all goths listen to gothic music. Some listen to hip hop, reggae, r&b and even bubblegum pop. It is all based on personal preference.
---
Putting on dark lipstick, thick eyeliners and wearing black clothing does not make you a goth. Being goth is also a mindset and state of mind. To me, a goth is somebody who feels what he or she feels to the maximum, be it happiness, sadness or anger. When one looks at a painting, movie, picture or even a blank wall, one would feel something. A goth is one who would feel that feeling to the fullest.
Goth is neither a fashion nor a fad. There are many people who claim themselves to be goths just because they think it is "cool" or "in". Real goths do not really go around telling everybody he or she is goth.
It took me awhile to understand a bit about goth subculture and I believe I will learn alot more about it as time goes by. I started off thinking I was punk, when I was actually a stupid fucker in some striped shirt acting cool and listening to Simple Plan crap(ROFLMAO). As time went by, I learnt about the punk subculture, its music and its roots. Listening to bands like Sex Pistols, The Casualities and The Ramones make me feel that Simple Plan is shitty(spare me, simple plan fans). Then, I went on to learn about goth and its music and history. I dare not say that I'm a goth but I'm glad that I've learnt alot about it's culture.
Just my 2 cents.
Thanks for reading :)
Hit me up with your comments on my tag board.

Oh yea. Mid year exams are finally over and my mind has been switched to slacker mode. I think Imma slack till Monday and continue studying. Mother Tongue Os is approaching... Met my crew today. We went to Joo Chiat for some interview. I have some doubts that the company may be a fake but oh well, no harm going for a try. If everything is true, it would benefit my crew alot. After the interview, we went to Esplanade. Saw Kelvin and Charlie along the way. Breaking today was okay... I didn't really break much I think. Finally beginning to get rollback handstand... Gonna pia it. I want rollback airfreeze ;D
My bag's zip is spoilt and I had to cut my bag open to get my stuff out! Fucking zip really pisses me off. Now I need a new bag. God dammit!
Friday the 13th was yesterday and it was a good day. I love Friday the 13th... Wish there were more of it.
I'm gonna go catch some shut-eye.
Take care, creatures of the night.

Today was Chemistry paper 2 and maths paper 2. Chemistry killed me really bad. I didn't really know how to do the paper. I'm quite confident about maths paper 2.. I think I should be able to score pretty well for it.
Major subjects are all over. Tomorrow is F&N and Lit paper 1. After exams end Imma slack for a bit before resuming with my revisions for mother tongue Os. Arghhhh.
I wanna danceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Oh ya.. family day? Bring it muthafuckas ;D

Hello. Today was a pretty good day for me. I woke up around 11.38am... Met Dome and Nic around 2.30pm. Had lunch at KFC and then we proceeded to Orchard for the Streetfest qualifying battles. Jordan and Siak boarded the train along the way. When we reached Youth Park.. It appears that there isn't any battle going on. We found out it was postponed soon after. I was kinda pissed at first cos I could have been at home studying for Maths.
We saw EG, FTC and Fuyo at Cineleisure. After that, me and my crew went to Orchard MRT to break. Session today was really fun although it was quite short. Everybody improved alot. Jordan's basics are damn zai now... Dome's flares are really dope.. Dehui's shit is always better everytime I see him.. Nic's moves always blow me away. Really glad to be able to session as a crew after so long. I really miss you guys alot man. Really hope we can session together more often. Inertiaaaaaaaaaa oh yea!
Studying maths now and it is like 1:15am.. I have to pass Maths no matter what! Wish me luck.
Farewell.
inertia + bboying = life :)

Been awhile since my last post. I've been busy with mid year exams... English paper is over. Social studies is over. Mother tongue paper 1 is over. Still got a long way to go before mid year ends. After that, it's INTENSIVE MOTHER TONGUE TRAINING. Argh. May is such a hard month.. The only good thing about it is that my birthday is this month on the 23rd. Drop me an sms on that day and tell me that I'm a year nearer to death on that day, aight? Haha. Feeling kinda tired now.
Oh ya.. like the new blogskin?
I love it ;)
Gonna go clear up my books that are lying all around now.
Farewell.
