Wearing black makes someone goth? Thanks Stephanie Meyers....

I really don't know how I feel about this. I've been a part of the goth community for over 10 years now. I'm glad it's becoming more accepted. but thisis also turning goth into some cheap, wussy imitation of what it once was. Every generation of "goth" becomes more cheap and easily influenced. First, we were direct decendadnts of punk rock culture. Then, creepy kids who loved rock and grew up on munsters and adams family and the like. Then the mall goths came about with thier stripees and marilyn manson shirts with the baggy jeans. then the emo kids, then the Twilight crew. and now this? just put on some black nail polish and suddenly you become goth. it's that easy. real goths don't even use that word to descibe themselves in the first place.

Just because a person wears black does not make them goth. Honestly, goth is a lifestyle not some fashion style.

she looks scarey! yuck.! yes GOTH.... weirdo look

ok what does twilight have to do with this? The books dont have anything goth about them, and if you actually read them you would know that. You shouldent go around saying bad stuff about the books if you havent even read them.

Black? I don't think so. And for those who do chose black better have your teeth bleached before trying that color.

That is SO UGLY! Very few respondsible women will actually wear BLACK lipstick! Maybe to a Halloween party or while passing out candy but that trend is butt ugly! I've been doing hair and makeup for 25 years and NOBODY ever looks good in black lipstick! Even blacker skinned women prefer warmer colors. As much as I love the color black, it's repulsive as lipstick. I'm sure it will only be trendy during OCTOBER...

i have been doing all of this for so long now. i have been leaning towards the punk/goth look for a long time. and now its popular? and its not just the dumb make up. its more like a state of mind. and a way to live. and some of it has to do with music.
i hate the stupid "trends". my whole family looks down on me for doing that but they say "are the kids at school doing that? why are you doing that" but i always say "no, i like it. i dont give a s*** what anyone else thinks. i dont care about trends and fashion." and the stupid twilight books have nothing to do with anything smart one. -_-
and stop posting stupid advertisements! its so annoying!

yeah, let me run right out and at the age of 54, get black lipstick! yeah, sure, that'll work.......ladies stop following trends and learn what looks good on you, what works for your age, skin color, body type, you'll never go wrong. we need to stop trying to look like 15 year old models who are 6 feet tall and weight 98 pounds.

So... I've been wearing dark colors for years and having to search specialty shops for elegant goth clothes and now somebody decideds it's "in" and now it's everywhere? Urgh... I hate the fashion world.

I'm just a regular guy that knows what other guys like. We do not like lips made up to look so thick & shiny that the color looks like it came out of a can of Sears Enamel Paint. Same for the Tammy Faye "caked look" on the cheeks. "More natural" is "more better!" We do not like lips lined with, say a brown liner, and the rest of the lips another color. It makes the wearer look like they've been having oral sex with a Snickers bar. Yes, Megan Fox is a fox...but tone down the color a bit. Keep the colors in tune with the tone of the wearer...not in contrast. And my goodness...enough with the black eye shadow. A little is great...but not to the point that it makes you look like your pimp beat you up last night. Guys like their ladies looking good, but they want to see the natural you too. Women are beautiful people...and just a hint goes a long way!

Just in time for Halloween. How ugly!

There will always be a handful of kids in high school that for some reason or another try to look as weird and different as possible. I worked at a high school with kids for 3 years, and you can definitely see that these kids obviously do not get any attention in life, so they seek to draw attention to themselves. They've decided that trying to fit in hasn't worked so why not try "to not fit in" in order to get attention. Black lipstick is not a fashion trend, it is a plea for help!
