^{First the pro’s.}

^{1.Some are rather attractive.}

^{2. Some are smart.}

^{Now the cons.}

^{1. Most are outright hypocrites.}

^{2. Most are elitist.}

^{3. Most are idiots.}

^{4. Most wouldn’t know a hard life if it hit them in the head.}

^{The most annoying thing about Goths is the hypocrisy of being goth. Most Goths dress ‘goth’ as a form of self-expression. Unfortunately they have now replaced the word ‘self’ with ‘mass’. I meet Goths all the time. I generally have no issue with them.Until they bless you with their 'creative wisdom'. Instead of the dry wit and intelligence you would expect , out comes this inane drivel that makes no sense. All I seem to hear is “I am an individual”. Which is very ironic as EVERY goth I meet seems to be wearing the exact same thing in the exact same colour! How is this individuality? Sure you may not look like everyone in your school but you look the exact same as every other goth in sight (usually about 50+ mingling about to scare old ladies.). It’s even worse at a Marilyn Manson concert. 8000 people singing the same song, punching the air at the same time, all wearing the same thing. Original? Erm no! And these people call Christians sheep? Goths DO conform. It is a non-conformist ideal you conform to but you are still conforming. Don’t try and be something you’re not. It’s a Joke.}

^{The next problem is idiOt Goths. Now I am not attacking people who are genetically thick , just the ones who aren’t but show no sign of brain activity whatsoever. You know , the Goths who hack up their arms then wear tank tops to draw attention to themselves. Like scars are a fashion accessory. These idiot’s make a mockery of people who actually have a problem. I used to self-harm and when I did I covered up my cuts as they were personal and I was ashamed of them. I tried as much as possible to conceal my scars. So this whole “Look what I did when I was bored last night” thing is a fucKing disgrace. I guess I’m the only one who hates this part of the ‘Nu-goth Attitude.’}

^{Moving on to my next rant. Elitism. ALL Goths I’ve met assume they are better than everyone else. You are not! Sure, just as there are smart ‘trendies’ there are smart Goths. But by no means are the numbers miles apart. I’ve met just as many dumb, foolish & immature Goths as I have the trendy equivalent. There is nothing wrong believing in yourself and your intelligence but to assume the rest of the world has no brain power compared to you is just pathetic. Why is it that when someone becomes a Goth they suddenly think they have become Neitzche or something.}

^{Now wE deal with persecution. I always hear Goths say “everyone bullies me” or “everyone looks at me funny”. Before I deal with that I’d like to point out another hypocrisy of Goths. Almost every goth I come across hates anyone who isn’t goth. And would happily spit , hit or verbally abuse someone who is different from them. Goths need to understand what irony is. Now the reason Goths get ‘shit’ is because they choose to dress the way they do , even though they are fully aware of what will happen. If you don’t want someone to shout “filthy goth” at you then don’t dress goth , or at least have a wash.}

^{Goths always moan about the hard life they have had. But it can’t be that hard because they are always wearing leather and £150 boots! Stop moaning that daddy won’t buy you that new CD or car you wanted. And to Goths who have had a difficult life (because there are some, I’m not totally ignorant!). Seek help. Profesional help. Goths aren’t the only victims of emotional , physical or sexual abuse. Guess what ‘trendies or townies’ (whatever they are bloody called) have it just as bad as you.}

^{Goths are no more special than any other group of people.}

Sometimes a picture is worth more than a thousand words.
