Why Do People Always Do This?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Question

Why do people think that ALL Goths are Satanists?

I mean, I know we're mysterious & kinda scary to some people, & that we're always wearing black, but that doesn't make all of us satanists.

I CAN'T STAND IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY THAT ALL GOTHS ARE SATANISTS, 'CUZ I'M GOTHIC & I'M NOT A SATANIST, I'M A CHRISTIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Answer 1

because they're not educated.

Answer 2

Some people just don't have anything better to do than judge others.  Tell them to mind their own bees wax.

Answer 3

if it looks and quacks like a duck, then it must be a duck. don't look like a satanist and people probable won't treat you like one...........

Answer 4

because some people are narrow minded and suck at life.

Answer 5

do they?  Perhaps you could explain what exactly a goth is?

Answer 6

what does gothic mean, my dictionary says:

The Castle of Otranto, a Gothic Story (1765) in the sense "medieval, not classical." From this novel filled with scenes of terror and gloom in a medieval setting descended a literary genre still popular today; from its subtitle descended the name for it.(often initial capital letter) noting or pertaining to a style of literature characterized by a gloomy setting, grotesque, mysterious, or violent events, and an atmosphere of degeneration and decay: 19th-century gothic novels.

So perhaps people say this because of the history of GOTHICS...so be careful what you associate urself with son...

Answer 7

idk, i guess people just assume that since goths wear black all the time and look i guess you say <dark>? that that ties in with satan because he's suppose to be like "the DARK side"....  

but oh well man, dont give a c**p about what people think about you.  all that matters is what you feel about yourself

Answer 8

goth doesnt mean you where black it means gloomy or you worship the devil i wear black im ******* death metal an i beat the **** out of emos

Answer 9

you answered your own question you try to act all dark and scary...sounds a little evil to me.  I mean what are you some upbeat happy goth always smiling and cant understand why people look at you differently???  Wear a little less black, people wont think what they should think about you then.

It's not being narrow minded, it's being realistic!  What else would you be trying to portray to people?  I mean seriously, you do things to stand out in the crowd and then get upset when you do...Sounds to me, you look for reasons and questions to get attention for being who you are, whatever be who you are and let others be who they are for thinking you are being an attention grabbing satanist!

Answer 10

Do you slaughter goats?

Answer 11

i never thought of goths as satanists.

no offense, but i did always thought of goths as clowns who think everyday is halloween and dress weird to gain attention.  

Answer 12

dont go by goth go by emo. . .cuz i called this girl at my school goth cause she look goth but she told me she was emo. . .i never made that mistake again

Answer 13

No, i don't think you guys are satanists.

but some do scare me.

to me, goth is only a fashion statement.

not a very good one though.

Answer 14

People who think that way are the ones we should be scared of, because they are not tolerant and their mind is so narrow that they only accept people like them.

They should mind their own business and leave goths alone!  

Answer 15

Ive never said that. Im a prep and a christian but i have tons of "goth" and "emo" friends and i dont see why people make such a big deal out of yall.

for the most part Yall r nicer than most of the other people yall r just more chill and calm while i see other people shouting and screaming trying to get attention.

Dont worry bout wat other ppl say.

Answer 16

You're most likely in high school. Eh?

High school sucks balls. People are going to judge you and say what ever pops in their head first. They probably don't even think about it that much. They have other people to judge. They can't just focus on one person. You're one of many. Deal with it, suck it up, don't let it get to you. After awhile, you won't even care.

Answer 17

This is the deal. You are expressing yourself in a way  that is relevant to how you feel. This will change as it must as all things do and one day you will evolve into something else whether it be a college professor or a computer technician. You will shed Goth for another look and then other changes will occur.

As for evil. No, I do not feel in the slightest that you are evil. I applaud in a way your doing what is in your heart. The only advice I would give from someone who is much older is not to get too attached to Goth or any other era of your life. It all is a transient process until your last day. God bless and good luck!

Answer 18

Why are you goth anyway? If you've found everlasting eternal love with someone and you basically have an afterlife insurance plan for bliss going for you, shouldn't you be kind of happy? You're going to get over this goth thing in like a year or two. Might as well stop now.

Answer 19

i don't understand that either...i consider myself golf and i am catholic but i have never had anyone say anything to me...idefinitely don't think that all goths are satanist...i just really dislike ICP

hope this helps your dilemma

Answer 20

people dont get u i think u r cool people that dont  harm any one so dont listen to people opinion wat matters is wat u think
