Answer 1

And? I'm a teen, and all I listen to is rock music. (That's a terrible stereotype, by the way). The black is just a color choice.  If you dress in all green, does that make you an elf? Skulls are cool, so what if you like them? Who knows, maybe you will work with them someday. Lots of people like horror movies. Doesn't mean anything. And I think everyone has a bit of a morbid streak. And if you don't think you like death, I think you would know. So I don't think you are. Please don't define yourself, labeling is for soup. And as far as guys hating goths, that's individual preference.

Answer 2

  in your teen years, its impossible to know who you really are untill you get out of school and get to give it some real world experience.

  like, honestly, i know that yeah, there are some REAL goths out there under the age of 18, but honestly, goth isnt really something you know that you are for sure untill you get to take it somewhere and see if its really what your into.

  i always identified with goth.  i liked the dark clothes and deep thoughts, and moody music that went with it.  so i started talking to some goth people i knew and grew to like it even more.  i learned how to tell the differance between all the S****y stereotypes (oh, your goth, you must hang out in a graveyard and worship satan, and all that other c**p) and what was real.  i found out that yeah, it really was something i was into.  so around sophmore year i started dressing to reflect this, and no one even looked twice at me.  none of my friends noticed any differance except in apperance.  my "real world test" was after graduation when i went to finland.  i suddenly found myself in a goth club, and was tottally able to keep up with any convo they through at me  it was awsome.  i knew right then and there that goth was gonna be a part of my life till i die.  im 22 now.  im happily engaged to a guy who isnt goth, but totally loves me, and my style.

  so yeah.  i hope you see where i was going with that.  the teen years are one for trying out new styles and finding out who you really are.  i wouldnt say you are goth yet, but you may be on your way.  if not, hey, thats cool too.  your allowed to change. but goth really is one of the few labels that seriously needs a real world test first.  a lot of teenagers do go goth for really strange ungoth reasons, which is why i say this.  also, as you can see from my engaged status, yeah, guys do like goth chicks.  the right guy will like you no matter HOW your dressed, so dont sweat it.  if you happen to be goth, rock it.  if not, thats fine too, do your thing.  just dont get too caught up in the "am i this, am i that?" thing till your out of school and get to find out who you REALLY are, you know?

Answer 3

just means your hardcore :P

Answer 4

thats not goth..if u sstart painting your face white then you hit goth

Answer 5

no not necessarily, i am the same way, kinda edgy, i like similar things, but i'm not quite as..well...gothic as a goth girl.

actually, i've heard that some certain guys really like gothic girls, because they seem kinda unique and interesting.

and anyways you really don't have to worry about labelling yourself that way, as goth or prep or jock or whatever, because as long as you're being yourself, who needs those categories or stereotypes? the worthwhile guys will like you not because you're gothic, but because you're you.  

Answer 6

uh, to me you sound like yourself! we are all emotional and to some point I guess goth too?! Hey i'm emo and look how I turned out.. ^_^ no, no, no some guys love emo/goth/punk chicks! in my town almost every single d**n dude worships us kinda gals. ;) but just be whoever you are comfortable being & be who you wanna be, not who people want you to be. dont believe in those d**n lables!! hoped this helped! ~ Lee-C

Answer 7

Do you know post-punk? Do you know Bauhaus? Do you know The Batcave? Do you know deathrock, darkwave, coldwave?

If you don't, you are not goth. Simply as that.

Answer 8

funny, your a confused teenager

Answer 9

Just like you, i love horror movies, wear mainly black, i have an obsession with skulls and blood & guts... I love rock and especially old school punk.

I am 27.

Yet i don't consider myself goth... or punk... or a rocker-chick.

I'm just me ^^

Just like you are you!

I do not believe in "labels"

Just be happy doing the things you do and wearing what makes you comfortable.

Answer 10

Hello, I used to be a schoolbus driver for 22 years, and I raised 2 boys of my own.  I noticed that a lot of teenagers go through the black clothes phase, my youngest did.  I don't see anything wrong with it except it may let you in for a lot of c**p from the kids who don't.  As for those who dish the c**p, ignore them and they will go away eventually when you refuse to buy into their nonsense.  I speak from experience.  No I didn't wear black, but I was different from my peers.  They like me now, so it worked out.  As for what guys like, what kind of guy do you want to attract?  Will it take a bit of compromise as to your wardrobe?  Hey check out the movie-I think it was called "The Breakfast Club"-you might consider it an old movie-but it has one character that was dealing with the same issue you are. Speaking of movies, my daughter-in-law, who is a terrific mom, loves horror movies.  

Don't worry about what you are, I think you sound normal, just not the normal that those "some people" who say you are into death or call you goth are.  Who are they that you have to worry about what they think?  As for the rock music, I listen to it too, and I am a grandma.  Again, why do you worry about what others think?  If you like it and it isn't causing you any harm, what does it matter what others think?  Hey, you sound like a nice kid, don't let a few words change you into something that isn't nice.

PS.  Death is nothing to be afraid of, it is only rebirth into our true life--but only when it is your time to go home.  Just enjoy life, be the best you that you can be, and everything will work out.
