i ager but if pplz put u in that lable like me and my 2 friends are
we just say what they r saying to shut there frekin mouth up
so that is not all if i had a ture lable me and my 2 friends would be punk/goth what do u say about that
Uh.. I dont really understand what you just tried to type.. but im going to try to respond.
I sort of understand the idea of repeating what people say about you. For example if someone is made fun of for a long period of time and called "fat" or "stupid" they will probly start to beleive it. I have been labeled as a freak and a "goth" for a long time and for a short period in time even called myself that even though I did not really like it. Why? Because I fit the sterotype with my black clothing and eyeliner and I enjoy quite abit of the music associated with the subculture. But you must realise like I did that it really does not matter.
I think the whole idea is kind of silly.. I dont feel the need to live up to something that will never amount to anything. Therefore I stoped refering to myself as that.
But
usualy I dont bother correcting people when they call me that because that is pointless also. I mean.. what am I suposed to do about it? People will think that of me anyways. The label will continue to be there.
So really.. just because people call you that you dont have to call yourself that.
I also stopped calling myself that because it attracted a bunch of morrons that had no idea what they were talking about anyway and I just wanted them to leave me alone. I also did not want people to think I was anything like the doped up morrons at my school that think the gothic subculture is about Slipknott, cutting themselves to show the scars to random people, and getting high and falling over. I also got sick of the catty snobs and their "how goth are you" contests which involved who had the blacker blacks and who had more bauhaus cds (cant people just enjoy the music and shut the hell up?). So.. it did not take me long to try and push away the name people have given me. I am sure everyone can understand why.
The moral of this story is: Stop caring about things that wont get you anywhere.. mainly what labels people give you.
