That question is, if you claim on your site you know a lot about girls, how come I can't ask you about sex? And how come I can't ask about instruments, either?
Anyways, I also came here to ask you a question about labels.
Labels are quite possibly the most evil thing to infect the teen mind since late 70's porno. What the fuck, Caden? You are goth? I thought it was a 'poser' thing to claim you're a goth? Then again, I have no idea since I don't believe in labels.
Caden, may I ask you a question about labels? What are they good for?
Of course they're good for making fun of someone, picking someone out of the crowd and possibly belittling them, and of course becoming prejudiced against a certain 'label'
What the hell good is there in a label, Caden? I don't see any proof that they're good for anything besides stereotyping.
People going to these big name brand stores and spending countless amounts of money to be 'in'. They have these massive brands right across their shirts. "Hollister" on a shirt is not individuality, Caden, is it? No, it isn't. You are just some walking advertisement, may you be a billboard for your popularity. Don't support who you choose to support, wear that shirt and that name so you can look 'in style' and be accepted.
You see, Caden. There isn't one damn thing good about labels. They are stereotypes based on outer appearance.
I'm sure you have judged someone based on clothing, Caden, haven't you? You didn't actually get to know that person, you just decided 'hmm, I don't like that outfit, I won't talk to them' Am I damn right? If you say “no”, you're a liar.
Caden, labels lead to bigotry, and that is a road you don't want to travel. Sure, you can be 'in' if you follow labels, but screw being in if you have to be a copy. Being 'in' means lacking originality. You don't want to be a clone, do you Caden? You don't want to be a copy? Do you?
If it's the soul that goes to heaven, Caden, how come it is the outside in which you are judging?
well, i see your point, and i have been concidering leaving behind the labels stuff, and, i dont like to judge people, alot of my friends like hollister, and a&f, it doesnt bother me. The only reason i beleive labels can be good is because it helps you know who you get along better with.
Also, being a goth, doesnt mean not being allowed to wear a certain clothing brand, or not being able to listen to certaing kinds of music. Goth is more than just a lable, its something that grows in a person, originating from depression mostly. Its also a sub-culture. And individuality is a good thing with gothics.
