Goth’s & Lolita’s: Look on the bright side of the dark light

In our culture today, or should I say, our “fashion” today, we say that our style is different, but at the end of the day, it’s all the same. That’s go for stereotypes too. People say if you dress a certain way or do certain thing’s that not related and/or reflect your culture, you’re going against it. They might not say it out loud, but they will show it by sugar coating it or they’ll began acting very sophomoric . Either way, they’ll won’t take into your way’s too easily. Certain people are problematical and that’s the reasons we have so many bad opinions about the two topics about talk about; Goth’s and Lolita’s.

ALL IN ALL, they are both “types of fashion ” and over the years, it has been mock by ignorant people and had raised alarm flags for those parents who “mollycoddle” their children. Is it fashion suppose to be a way to describe yourself, besides from art and music? Things that’s Goth related isn’t all about morbid scenes and death, but show beauty in another light. That’s go for Lolita too. It’s a fashion sense that’s admire and popular among Japanese girl’s, but it is also it beginning to be admirer Western people too.

What is Goth? It’s a subculture that is alternative and [1] result of similar energy patterns coming together, kinship being found, and the disassociated once again becoming united. It mainly started between 1970 and 1980 in the United Kingdom from pop, rock and post rock genre. [2] Researcher Maxim W. Furek has called Goth " a celebration of music, dress and attitude all wrapped around Thanatos, the Greek concept of death." The goth subculture has associated tastes in music, aesthetics, and fashion, whether or not all individuals who share those tastes are in fact members of the goth subculture. With goth fashion, you can add your own special touches’ to it that not even manageable to do with urban Hip Hop cloths. The fashion can contain from a [2] range of deathrock, punk, androgynous, Victorian, some Renaissance and medieval style clothes, or combinations of the above, most often with black attire, makeup and hair (but on time to time with a splash of color). And goth subculture had aspire many movies, filmmakers, and actors/ress of our time, Tim Burton, who brought use movies like “Nightmare before Christmas” and others. Goth’s are just average people who just see beauty in a different light then others. That don’t make them evil, associated with paganism, or Satanist, they’re regular people.

What is Lolita? [3] Lolita is a Japanese street fashion inspired primarily by the clothing and general aesthetics of the Rococo and Victorian periods. This fashion movement started in Japan in the 1980's and has evolved greatly since. Nowadays Lolita Fashion has grown to be relatively popular all over the world. Relatively popular for an obscure Japanese street fashion, that is. When most people think and/or hear about Lolita’s , they think about the other definition of it , which is a slang term for a seductive, sexually attractive, or sexually precocious young girl", and that’s statement isn’t fully accurate. Not all women and/or girls who are Lolita’s are not whores, but just like dressing like the women (or men) from the Victorian era or they might dress like those porcelain dolls you would’ve seen in those antique shops.

It’s o.k. to dress the style and follow the trend, just as long you don’t blow it out of perportion and/or do something that give it more bad rumores to the Gothic and Lolita style. Just look on the bright side of dark light and not as a satanic lust.

Reject

First off, This is a poem, but you can sing it as a song. Secondly, The poem was gonna be called "God's Reject", but that might cause people to hound my ass, so it's rename "The Guy's Reject"( or you can still call it the God's Reject, up to you. For right now , I'm using the first one I had :)). Secondly, I'm not an atheist and you still dont like my poem, then kiss my ass and have a nice day.

Have you ever feel alone
Everyone hates you
You didn't do anything
to anyone
But they still blame you
Instead being a
Stoner
You became a
Loner
That alright, that ok
You're gonna live
either way
You later on became
the social outcast
Thats all right, that's
o.k.
You did your best
Now you're Ah
God Reject
Tell you once, tell you again
You might break, you might bend
You might not have a spotlight
But you'll still would go on
This might sound wrong
But you'll have to fight
hipocracies, dishonesty, and a lil
discrimminal conformisty
But little God's Reject
Told you before
Walk in their dark light
and smile the pain till no more
And don't be like a sterotypical
emo
cutting yourself, just be a damn hero
And save others who like you
Little God's Reject
Once again
You only have one life
Cut all your troubles with a knife
(not people anyway)
You only have one chance
to be yourself
Take your old life style
and throw it in the river of France
And give the real you
a chance to dance
Little
God
Re
Ject
It is time
show your greatness
Dont shed a tear
(But not everyday I say)
If you just give up
You'll live life in
Fear.....
