People who get all snooty about those who for one reason or another don't wear the spookiest of fashions everyday really annoy me. It's a recurring theme in many of my posts that I'm the same person with the same interests regardless of what I am wearing at any one time.

I feel that the insult "chav" should be used to describe a certain sort of anti-social behaviour, not dress sense.

Just as goths don't like to be picked on for how we choose to express ourselves, we should not pick on or judge others.<br /><br />I used to be trad goth, and now I am a corporate goth because I'm in a professional field, but a few people said the other day I was not goth because I didn't dress goth enough. I have continuously listened to goth rock & darkwave and read the literature and been into dark memorabilia for over 15 years. However, like other corporate goths, I now show my appreciation for dark beauty in subtler ways, like a bat or skull necklace, lots of black lace, small spikes, etc.<br /><br />I am secure in myself, so the criticism doesn't shake me that much. I know there are wonderful goths out here still. However, I am shocked to see some be evaded about what the goth movement is about: depth, creativity and individuality. I am glad to see you and others address this issue.<br /><br />www.legallygoth.comVKatrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024896086919423779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-68060627705960778202012-06-09T22:03:24.979-07:002012-06-09T22:03:24.979-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.VKatrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024896086919423779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-52815311287291357652012-06-08T10:03:36.533-07:002012-06-08T10:03:36.533-07:00"Other people are entitled to the same freedo..."Other people are entitled to the same freedom of expression as we are."<br /><br />This so much, it really annoys me when some people will bleat on about S.O.P.H.I.E. One day and then make sweeping generalisations about "Chav scum" (ie: anybody in Burberry) then next :/<br />Way to miss the whole point of that charity.Alexandriawebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09778264974977380013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-64029011918365714592012-01-18T07:49:43.630-08:002012-01-18T07:49:43.630-08:00It's been said before, but I still see it happ...It's been said before, but I still see it happening, on internet forums, on blogs, etc. It's the same judgemental attitudes as the alternative crowd face, being directed in reverse, and it's just as daft, so I felt like reiterating.The HouseCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07783576090040274742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-2670328796317203062011-11-29T16:10:21.001-08:002011-11-29T16:10:21.001-08:00Well said.Well said.Captain Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02465757743960280943noreply@blogger.com
