Plagued Goths, emos and scene kids - "If you're a fake goth, you're out son!" Hipster faggots and edgelord cringe

[chimpburgers]

I didn't even know goths still existed but they are here to stay. If you're not hardcore enough, they call you out like in these shit tier videos. It looks almost about as dumb as the infighting that juggaloes have with each other. From what it sounds like, these are basically a type of hipster faggot that for some reason are still around. They might be related to emos but they have their own distinct subculture that I'm trying to learn more about.

Gothic.net has a whole thread about this Real Goth vs. Fake Goth thing. It's autistic as hell.

Spoiler: All the posts on the first page

The typical attire of these attention seeking goths and edgelords, well worthy of being ridiculed:

All these butthurt trannies who are probably also goths themselves love to obsess over Cathy Brennan being a "Fake Goth" too.

Edit: The thread has been reformatted to accommodate for scene and emo discussion. All three are basically subcultures within a bigger culture of edgelord faggotry.

This chick is probably the most popular goth on youtube.

Her entire channel is to help u be goth enough. My favorite highlight is when she went touristing and a church wouldn't let her and her boyfriend go inside because they looked satanic.

EDIT: this one

Someone needs to inform these kids that they're not so much Goth as they are Faggot.

It's 2016, there is no way goths can exist anymore. I think I maybe saw one at a nightclub like... two years ago? It all turned emo I believe in 2013.

Then again

If you even begin to call someone a fake goth, you're just as faggy yourself.

From what I can tell that one in particular is a pretty nice lady who can laugh at herself, so she has that going for her. I've always wondered where these alternative folks work, though, aside from mcdonalds and hot topics.

Hoo boy, goths. I thought I had seen the last of them when I got out of high school. I was apparently wrong. I've always considered goths as the biggest attention whores around, despite their "act" that they want to be left alone and not noticed by the "sheeple".

Every goth I've ever met has been someone who isn't popular (but secretly DESPERATELY wanted to be popular) and was engaging in a little teenage rebellion. And it was so painfully obvious to EVERYONE but themselves

Yeah... If you're a goth because of "something bad" happening in your life, and you choose to live the goth lifestyle because of it? Guess what? That's you being defined by the bad thing, NOT becoming stronger because of it. Because you've, quite literally, chosen to wear your pain on your sleeve.

And here I'd thought that all those Goth kids had grown up into regretful adults by now.

Change the title back, calling it "Goth Elitists" suggests that only the elitist ones are lolcows.

I wasn't gonna change the original title but it was a suggestion someone was telling me about. Fuck it, I'll change it back. Lol.

You see a lot of them in the beauty industry, actually. A ton of my customers are goths and most of them are pretty cool. And a lot of the goth beauty bloggers I follow are hairdressers or makeup artists.

Over the years I've also seen a number of blog posts dedicated to helping alternative people tone down their look for work, while still expressing their sense of style. I still use a lot of those tips when I dress for work.

Personal confession: I am a goth (or was; I still listen to the music but I don't wear eyeliner or backcomb my hair). However, I'm also a grown man with a sense of self-awareness, so I don't engage in internet wars or make vlogs on the subject.

Emo has nothing to do with Goth. There are fashion similarities, but there's not much overlap musically. Also, the Goth subculture has been around since the late 70's and was an outgrowth of the British punk scene, while Emo developed in the early 90's (or late 80's, I don't remember) from the American Hardcore scene (particularly DC Hardcore).

A lot of Goth elitism and "purity" obsession comes from the late 90's, when the media was slapping the"goth" label onto Marilyn Manson and a lot of other stuff that was completely unrelated to the subculture. Since everyone was calling fat, pale kids who listened to Marilyn Manson "goths" (as opposed to fat, pale kids who listened to Bauhaus), goths got really gay and defensive about what constitutes "real Goth."

The Goth scene is full of cringeworthy lolcow behavior, though that's true of most music-based subcultures that take themselves way too fucking seriously (see: all subgenres of metal). Because a lot of goths take their attachment to the subculture too seriously, they lose their fucking minds about being associated with music that's not actually gothic (sort of like how a lot of metalheads sperg about how Deathcore is "false metal" and will explain in detail the difference between it and "true Death Metal", or how punks will give you a two hour lecture about why they hate Green Day). Some people are so empty that they use a style of music they enjoy as a personality substitute, and start treating the music and the attached subculture as Serious Fucking Business.
