There is nothing wrong with it. It's just personal preference.

if anything, pointy things that you place on your body (like a spiked collar) would make you goth. I'm saying this because I'm following the same principal of gothic structures, which are pointy and dangerous. besides, goth is only a cultuire that was made to counter romantiscism in the 1800s. and goths were originally a tribe that defeated Rome. so in esscence, there is no such thing as a true goth unless you fought rome.

hmmm possibly because ancient Europeans feared night stalkers of darkness leading to the passing of ''unwelcome visitors''
or in other words outsiders, which Gothic creeps believe they are

Some aren't old.


You know what I mean.

But just "dumb" on it's own wouldn't sound as good as "dumb ol'." To me, at least.

It's because when people see an individual wearing all black then they'll think the person is goth and/or emo. It's a stereotype, yes, but sometimes it's true from what I've seen. Most of the people that I do see wearing all black at school are goth and/or emo. But that doesn't mean you can jump to a conclusion about it. You just simply ask them about it, or leave it alone, but saying that they are goth and/or emo isn't intelligent. I like to wear black, because I like how the black clothing looks, the t-shirts, pants, shoes and such. But I don't wear all black. I'll wear different colors with it. Unless I'm playing round up, then I'll wear all black so I don't get seen by the other people.

So black people are gothic?

Color has nothing to do with anything.

Brown =/= Black. And the OP is talking about clothing.
Color has nothing to do with anything.

From the information about it and how people use the colors, it does.

Color assists us in determining our moods, thoughts, feelings, etc, etc. It stimulates certain chemicals in our brain that release other chemicals that control our moods. <--- Simply put of course.

If you wear all black it's just a stereotype. For all you know they could be the complete opposite.

No. If you get judged wrongly because of it, then it's a stereotype. Such as calling an individual that wears all black goth and/or emo when you know nothing about them. If people wear all black, then they must like the color, or something else. It isn't wise to jump to a conclusion that they are goth and/or emo. Sometimes I'll wear all black when playing round up. Does that mean that I'm goth and/or emo? No. I also like to wear black because I think it's stylish and looks good. Does that mean that I'm goth and/or emo? No.
