So...you're just you're run-of-the-mill sociopath then. Okay.

This is how the conversation would go with me:

Me: So, what kind of music do you like?>
Fluke: Um, Metallica, Megadeth, Slipknot, basically any kind of metal or rock.
Me: Oh, so you like shit, then?

Lol.

Fluke: I ate her liver with fava beans and a nice chianti. Fffffff.

QuoteSomeone who dresses like a "goth". (Although this in itself is a rather contradictive statement, as a goth in the seventies/eighties was someone who refused to dress up like the majority, however the goth look is now commonplace thus losing it's meaning of independence.)

what are you talking about? A goth in the seventies? Gothic music is a variation of post-punk and dark-wave, which occur in and around 1980, starting with Bauhaus,Joy Division and The Sisters of Mercy. Being a goth is quite more specific than just being counter-majority in terms of fashion. The death rockers have their silly style, the german romanticists have their silly style, the ebm people their own, and so on.

What Helm said.
Besides, everybody knows being goth really has to do with sunglasses, suave tuxedos and fluffy mohawks.

Who are you, The God of the fashion stuff, who says if something is shit or not?

Edit: Sorry, my opinion was deleted somehow when I clicked on "post"...

And I typed: "Are you the God of Fashion, who decides when something is shit or not?"Ã,Â

Yep, Bauhaus did first release a single in 1979, as did the Cure, and anyway are you telling me the whole early nineties grebo band thing started exactly in 1990?

Sheesh.. the only reason i said seventies was 'cos I knew I'd get some smartarse telling me it's not JUST the eighties, but it seems I can't win can I!

Helm · Wed 09/08/2006 20:35:51

No gothicesque fashion occured until the 80s. The gothic thing is an 80s thing, what can I tell you, man!

m0ds · Wed 09/08/2006 21:16:40

Forget sterotyping bitches - LGM, you're a motherfucker!!!

Fluke - can only hope you didn't just jump into calling her a floyd SB, because she may just be a little misguided and know little about what metalheads are actually like. But yeah, I suppose you had some right to be annoyed!

Thing is, you can't judge people. Everybody's different.
I've met preps that are the sweetest people. I've also met goths that are the nicest people on the face of the earth.
That said, there's a lot of mean people around too, but if you're nice to them, chances are they won't judge you.

The Inquisitive Stranger · Wed 09/08/2006 21:36:08

You're wrong. All nice people are just pretending to be nice.

Erenan · Wed 09/08/2006 21:39:01

You're wrong. There are definitely genuinely nice people on this planet.

Alynn · Wed 09/08/2006 21:55:14

All of you quit being emo!

LimpingFish · Wed 09/08/2006 22:03:40

Being a Goth would take too much effort.

Erenan · Wed 09/08/2006 22:24:38

We're talking about Visigoths, right?

Now this pisses me off to insane extent. If someone were to tell you that they enjoyed listening to RnB, you wouldn't instantly assume that they carry a large boombox, breakdance and wear parachute pants.
Needless to say, I abruptly told her that i was not, in fact, gothic, and that she was a stereotyping bitch.
Anyone got any comments?
Cheers,
Fluke.

RnB = Rhythm & Blues

A lot of times this term is used to describe a more contemporary form of music, much to my disgust. I've heard the term applied to what sounded like Hiphop/Rap.

Nacho · Wed 09/08/2006 22:27:43

The Beatles consideres theirselves as a group of Rythm & Blues, actually...

Renal Shutdown · Wed 09/08/2006 23:01:32

I consider Rhythm and Blues to be R&B.
I consider the newer, soft hip-hop type of thing to be R'n'B.

I also consider R'n'B to be sh*t, but that's besides the point.

This pisses me off
