What is your initial reaction when you see someone...?

Question

with a punk, goth, or emo style? Also, would you ever dress in one of these styles?

I'm asking because I think sometimes they look kind of cool. =)

Answer 1

Apparently, I dress "emo" and "goth" according to kids in my school. But hey, I'm just me. I wear things from Hot Topic to Goodies to American Eagle.

But anyway, they don't bother me. I think people who choose to dress like that are cool.

And to the people who say punks, goths, and emos dress funny, they're thinking the same about you!

Answer 2

i dress emoish to an extent but definately not over the top lik i wear skinny jeans and shop at hot topic

i think people that dress in an emo scene look coll if they know how to look the part and pull it off but others just look lik posers

Answer 3

i just see them as people who are looking for attention and hey they got it..

Answer 4

I think some of it is kool!! I like the punk style!!

Answer 5

The styles are kinda cool. I like the skinny jeans and the glasses, but I hate the vibe that comes along with them. I don't like the emphasis on labels and the fact that you have to live up to them all the time.

Answer 6

I don't get a different reaction when I see these types of people. I mean, it is just their style. How would you like it if they looked at you differently for how you dress. I don't think I would dress like that, but I am getting purple highlights. And not because I want attention. Just because I like purple.

Answer 7

personally i think that they are going to eat there own head at anytime so that's why I'm always interested in emo's, goth or whatever else that turns you on.

Answer 8

NO, I wouldn't dress like that!  I think that look is ridiculous, but that's probably just because I'm old.

Answer 9

i really just see them as odd i guess. what i hate the most is when they complain that people stare. don't dress a certain way to get attention and then when you get it complain

Answer 10

Rich spoiled kids that are rebelling because they weren't hugged much as a child or didn't get the car they wanted.

I never see the starving kids in Ethopia or Honduras acting like that.

Answer 11

WHEN I see someone I think do they love Jesu are not, cause if not how can they love me or better yet themself, for many are lovers of there flesh, to there self, but not really loving themself. If you love yourself then you'll love your soul enough to save it from the evil in the world by the power of GOD and the BLOOD of JESUS. HE is a mercyfull GOD and long suffering with all. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND THEN OTHERS...  MAY JESUS BLESS YOU THE MORE, FOR HE LOVES YOU....

Answer 12

If it wasnt for those styles half these famous designers would have no inspiration...Everyone has different styles and Really I take a bit from each..Punk-all the jewlery and shoes are freakin awsome...Emo-HELLO HAIR STYLES are the sexiest/hottest evr..Finally any race can sport those styles and like add bleach blonde streaks or any for that matter...GOTH- The dark colors are really mysterious and seductive...and the eye make-up Makes alot of eye colors pop..LOVE ALL STYLES never discriminate BE YOU

Answer 13

i feel bad but they kinda scare me :/

Answer 14

Honestly, they intimidate me. But I don't think that someones style determines who they are as a person. I wouldn't dress like that, I like the clean look jeans sweater casual shoes skirts jean jackets etc.

Answer 15

its 4 attention and gettin kind of old now. d**n if emos lives are that bad they'd find a way to fix them instead of making em worse like that. h**l to dha naw never'd put that ish on.

Answer 16

I look at them as possible friends

Answer 17

I think they look ridiculous.

They're in obvious need of attention.

Answer 18

to be 100% honest...i have nothing against people who wear all black and all, but i guess you could say i just go with the sterio type. i went to school with a few, and no offence but most of them were shady characters.

people express themselves in different ways, people who want to stand out do.

i have had a few friends that were pretty cool and kinda gothlike.

but thats just going by my old high school stereotype.

Answer 19

I think that look is cool, but it kinda ticks me off if they are just being poser cause it is "cool".  People who are really like that are awesomely cool looking though

Answer 20

I was raised color-blind, and that, by extension, is the same with the style of clothes people wear.

Answer 21

i thnk they are someone who wants to show that they are different than the average person. They might have different passions

Punk- music so and so forth

I dressed  punk through high school & probably still would if it wasnt for work .

Answer 22

Well I dress in a little bit of all three of them. I like it and i think it looks kinda cool. My first reaction would probably be to notice their style, and maybe ask them where they got something, if they have something i like that I don't have yet.

Answer 23

I for one don't understand styles and trends ... really.. I over look what a person looks like. Just because you have long hair dosn't mean your a biker guy. If you have tats all over you body dosn't mean you are in a gang. The way I see it  is dress how you like and if other people don't like it then they aren't worth the time of day. It drives me nut when people always think and worry about how they look.

Answer 24

Although it's not my thing, and I wouldn't dress that way, I don't have a problem with it, really.

I have a couple of friends who dress that way, and think they're cool.

I'm not so crazy about them if they're really negative, or have an attitude problem.. but then again, I'm the same despite how anyone dresses, really.

I'm not a fan for the "drastic" style, to the point where they almost look scary, but I'm not going to treat them different if they make a point to talk to me. I'm friendly, and will talk back=]

Answer 25

I was metal/goth in HS. Talk to them - a lot of people who dress that way have a lot of thought behind it. They're likely to be some of the deeper thinkers you'll meet, especially if you're meeting them in that temple to forced mediocrity that is school.
