i have no idea.

I have a 14 yr old emo goth daughter on my hands right now..
Apart from collecting every damn dead doll out there..her music
is just as morbid.
Her room is blacked out..according to her.'like her soul' :rolleyes:
This all started at a young age..but i left her..thinking it was just a phase
she was going through...at the start..tearing her away from this is like pulling teeth with no pain killers.
However..she is responsible ..and i treat her as an individual..as this is her
choice.
If this is what your little girl wants to experiment with ..then good on her
and good on you for supporting her.
Just keep a close eye on your mascara and other black make up. :p

and may i add, look out for depression. goth is depressing.

Since alot of the things I was going to mention were already covered...try Within Temptation.

Websites:maybe websites where she can find fun stuff for her hair and such.

Good Goth music, just the fuckin' calsics:
-The Sisters of Mercy (just until Floodland .... Vision thing sucks!!)
-Bauhaus.
-Fields of the Nephilim
-Faith and the muse
-Christian Death (I can't remember the name of their other boss, not Valor Kahn albums)
-Death Can dance
-Joy division
-the Cure (not goth, more poppies, but great)

Done.

Kids of seven wouldn't perceive "lifestyle" from photos, I don't care how intelligent or perceptive they supposedly are. Aside from the "look", you're pushing the idea and perception based on your own.
Perhaps they just thought the clothes were interesting and thought about getting some...I'm really surprised at the amount of parents up in here that think it's all good to get a kid of that age to adopt any popular "culture" based identity...
"You have to listen to this to be like this?" C'mon...I'm surprised the supposed "real" goth here hasn't slapped that one down yet...trying to make her a goth, or a poser?
You wanna see if your kid is REALLY into it? Place 20 cds in front of her, some "goth" some pop, rock, rap, whatever...burnt, no covers...get her to listen to them...if she actually PICKS said music for herself, then maybe lean towards gentle encouragement. 'til then I'd suggest letting her largely make her own decisions...I mean, the clothes aside...a seven year old GOTH?
Sure...I see HEAPS of those whos parents aren't trying to push them into what they thought THEY should have been. :rolleyes:
Just like the kids parents throw into their own favourite teams jerseys, before they're even old enough to play sports...But it's all good, I'm sure a lot of parents don't even realise they're doing it.
I mean, they still DO have PTA's at most schools, right? y'ask me, you're inviting a lot of friction for yourself and kid, with how negatively the goth culture is perceived by the majority, ignorantly or otherwise, then you'll cry "discrimination!" even though you probably realise what you've done is really a little stupid.
Enough of this.
This thread tells me why people should wait to get their heads together before dropping kids.

You don't have to reply to defend yourself, I know I'm right...your poor choices are your own.

Not really. Goth isn't what's depressing, that is only how it is shown to most of the close minded public. Have you ever even been to a goth club or were actually "goth". Judging from your posts, I'd think not.

EMO kids are the ones that are depressed and they 98% of the time say they are "goth".

Gothic people find more enjoyment from being friendly and or scaring the crap out of people, not really depression.

That's actually a really good idea with the multiple music styles on burnt CD's.
