That's much like what Hitler did when he exterminated people. Your hair isn't blonde enough, your eyes not blue enough. They were then killed.
I'm not saying you have to look the same, listen to the same music, hang out at the same places. But do you have to do it looking like that? There's a reason why gothics are outcasts, and why they are the few.
I listen to heavy metal, but do I dress that way? No, I wear khakis and collared shirts. Does that mean I'm not being an individual...? Uh..? And metal isn't the only music I listen to. I listen to a diverse selection.. Why are you limited to listening to such angry music?
Ok, and you tell me something. Did Picasso dress in all black? Did Da Vinci? Galileo? Or artists of today? Are you saying they're not expressing individuality, even though they are very individual? Give me a break. You act like dressing like that is the only way to express yourself.. That's very closed.
And it's like Fluff said, it's in your mind. Just because you may dress in the same fashion as everyone else doesn't mean you're a conformist.

so manny fronts to fight and so tierd... there are a number of black metal clubs where i live, elm street, møllers, and rockin for example, im a big customer in all those places... i can honestley say i never seen a fight happen around there... now take all the other places to go to for the normal people... the metro, turbulence, terra...etc, there is always a fight outside one of those places, ALWAYS, and they are all you. altso you are the ones who bully kids around in school. you are the ones who make sure "nerds" and "loosers" have a hard time at school just because they think, dress speak or act diffrentley. im not saying this aplys to you as a person but as whole so to speak. youl never see me or any of my darker friends start picking on some poor kid with an out of fassion pair of pants, youl see us coming to lend him a hand.
there are only 2 kinds of goths that wear pins, the posers and the non existent.
again i ask...why is it so god damn hard to accept that we look like this? is my corpse pain in some way reflecting of the street light and blurring your vission? do the chains strapped around me rattle so loud you cant hear? what is so difficult to accept?
and there you go acusing metal of being such angry music, heart of steel, us, rite of passage ...i could go on forever, songs so beautifull my dead eyes almost water when i hear them.
discriminating again...shame.
any metalhead/goth/svartmetaller with style can apreciate the ocasional mozart, bach or some luigi manlio
its not the only way of expressing myself, its done in so many ways you cant even immagine. all those above expressed themselves, does that mean i have to go pain the ceeling of a chappel before you look at me as a real human being of flesh blood and normal human emotions?
