I like myself with piercings and tattoos. However, Nicola has had to develop a thick skin to learn to shrug off the comments, with strangers often making unsolicited remarks about her appearance. I've had so many silly comments about metal detectors. About my hair, people will make silly comments, saying I must have mental health issues and that I'm an attention seeker.
Some people have been really tormented by it - all because we look a little bit different. I've got two sons, where have I got time to do that? It's creepy. Nicola believes people's "narrow-mindedness" when it comes to Goth and alt subcultures come from misconceptions around devil worshipping, as well as some of the more extreme behavior embraced by Manson and similar bands.
They're not willing to see that people can choose to be a little different. I've never had any trouble from people within the community, a lot of people are very quiet as they've been hassled so much before. They keep themselves to themselves. These sorts of people who are doing this have never sat down or had a conversation with someone who's alternative.
Or got to know anybody in the alternative scene. They form cliques at schools and communicate over the Internet in the countless Goth Web sites. And yet for all their interest in doom and gloom, the Goths were largely seen as benign outsiders, a little weird perhaps, but certainly harmless. Those in the Goth world quickly distanced themselves from the massacre at Columbine High School. Everyone, including the media, is looking for a scapegoat. My condolences go out to the students and their families.
Manson had been scheduled to headline a concert in Denver on April I most cordially agree. It's more to do with the idea of anti-association. Goth individuals generally deal with a lot of social stigma. Some of this includes into seeing us as year old's wearing black because it's cool and Manson, omg. Further down the train others hate him because their peers do.
So, without forming their own contrived and pointless opinions on musical figures, they cheerily leap onto the BS wagon. Which is coincidentally connected to a train I guess? I guess my metaphors got a little Then there is the third part to this. People hate him because it's either cool or trendy to. Take the Justin Beiber hate for example. No one should even give a shit about a crappy musician, but it's become socially trendy to hate him.
Kind of like a meme in and of it's self. Or, they hate him Manson because he is well received, much like the hipster mentality that disliking a popular figure makes one better than the masses. So there you go, it's a three way reach around of trivial pointlessness. Crows Visit Murder. Crows's homepage! Find More Posts by Murder. Originally Posted by Stormbringer.

If I May When Manson first showed up on the scene I was not impressed. I, like a lot of my 'Kindred' who were not all 'Goths', but an array of different individuals was skeptical, and saw how Mr. Manson's almost overnight legion of followers could potentially worsen the already annoying stereotypes we faced on a daily basis. I just doubted the sincerity of it. And I guess, by extension, the sincerity of his fans. But then I met this girl And one night, out of nowhere, she invited me to go to a local Manson show.
Skeptical of the younger generation, I went expecting to feel out of place. BUT instead, it was Honestly a Great show. The pit was so brutal I could not force my way into it, and by the end of the show the crowd was throwing 55 gallon trash cans all over the venue, And had quite literally tore the bar apart.
When we left that night I had a small puncture wound in my shoulder, and someone else's blood all over my pants and boots. It was actually pretty damn hardcore! Reminded me of those old punk shows Back in the Day.
