I find it all very interesting XDLedzebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01767213869786031249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454610053579539505.post-43075436584396677952011-10-13T21:56:27.084+01:002011-10-13T21:56:27.084+01:00Ray XD
Of course I don't see your music taste...Ray XD<br /><br />Of course I don't see your music tastes etc etc as weaker, and I definitely don't see it as a threat... why would I? And as for me disliking you or seeing you as lesser... Ray, just no. XD <br /><br />A lot of people dabbled in various alternative subcultures for a year or so in my school, too. There was a massive group of them, but the vast majority stopped around the end of year ten. I'm one of only about three or four who went on to become part of a subculture proper. A lot of people dabble in their mid teens, and then decide it's not for them. Which is OK. <br /><br />Those of us who carry on are the ones who do fit in naturally. If I had to change myself, and didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't do it. There are a couple of things that I might not have tried were it not for Goth, such as big DIY clothing jobs, but those are things I'm glad I tried. <br /><br />There are some things a lot of other Goths do that I don't, either because they're not me (wearing corsets), or because I disagree with them (elitism). If I really don't want to do something, I won't. <br /><br />I used to think subcultures had rules too- I kept away from the 'Goth' label for ages because of it. But... it's really not true. There are a lot of people who think you have to do X, Y or Z to be a real Goth... but no two of those people can agree on what X, Y and Z are. As long as you ignore the snobs, there's a hell of a lot of leeway in goth. In fact, the idea of Goth having a dress code is a bit O_o. The only thing there is is black= good, and even that's just a guideline. <br /><br />I don't know whether I do 'belong'- I haven't had enough RL interaction with other Goths to be able to tell, but I do know that Goth fits me.<br /><br />You still worried or confused about anything?Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02652948249649150826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454610053579539505.post-32432779539489543352011-10-13T20:34:57.623+01:002011-10-13T20:34:57.623+01:00Hi Louise, t'is moi.
Suprisingly, I am not on...Hi Louise, t'is moi.<br /><br />Suprisingly, I am not on here just to say happy birthday, but I will 'happy birthday'<br /><br />I've always wondered about your goth-ness, being part of any subculture has worried me, they have rules, dress codes bla bla bla, I mean, in some ways, I know I am a part of many different sub cultures, but to belong to one, it just doesn't appeal to me. I think I've always seen people as following a subculture, any, not just goths, but let's use that as an example here haha:<br /><br />People that weren't goths in year 9, suddenly become them in year 10, they change to fit in with the sub culture. I think maybe you're one of the first people I've come across where that ISN'T the case, and it's confused me as a bit, because my brain is like, well, Louise knows herself very well, BUT, she doesn't seem like she would want to belong to a subculture, because that's all I know of them, people doing it deliberately, then getting bullied, and then stopping. A million people, I feel I have seen go from being a bisexual emo to a straight chav, or the other way around. I don't quite know what I'm getting at, I'm not trying to offend you, you shouldn't doubt yourself as part of the goth community, especially with your answer to part 11, just as I am female, I am still female when reading membase wearing mens clothes, right? The same for you and how you identify. I mean, don't doubt, because it's a part of you, and you fit in just by default, rather than through forcing yourself.<br /><br />It's still a concept I have to take to, I often wonder if you dislike me, because I am not in the same subculture as you, I don't see the things that you see, especially in terms of DIY fashion, I hope that doesn't make me seem any lesser of a friend, is all. I mean, I'm a real range of things, I settle a little bit, but get bored of one subculture too quick, and just want to be me. I guess you've found a subculture which allows you to be you in a way you couldn't be before, so it's great, I just thought I'd have a thought splurge here haha.<br /><br />I just hope you don't see my thinking style, my music tastes, as anything bad, as a threat, as weaker, but I'm sure you don't, of course, you're entitled to enjoy being who you are, I'm not stopping you lol, just literally exploding my thoughts at you :)<br /><br />Love Ray xx <3Ledzebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01767213869786031249noreply@blogger.com
