What The Fuck Are They Feeding These Kids?
- By Armand
When I was in Middle School and High School, being "Gothic" was not something you wanted to be; Purely, because in such a small town, it was hated. You were either; Jock, Cheerleader, Punk, Geek, Shitkicker. There was no room for anyone to be Gothic, and if they were, they were changed (or felt bad enough to change) into something else. All the Middle School Gothic kids went into Punkism (meaning culture/pseudo-cult), and then from Punkism, they went into Shitkicker. Why? You ask? Exactly...Why?
When I was in Sophomore year, I started becoming more into the darker aspects of life, instead of taking surface value. I looked deeper, and saw everyone was the same, vile little creature. No matter how much make-up was put on, or how many smiles were forced. But when I became Gothic, I didn't transmogrify into Punkism, and I sure as "Hell" didn't metamorph into Shitkicker (me and tight jeans on a ranch...:shudder:). So this added tension to people around me. They wanted to change me. I then adopted Satanism is my prime structure of living and then they REALLY wanted to change me. I'm meaning from kids at school, to friends of family, to family. They didn't like what I was...but I did. For once, I liked what I was. So, I wasn't about to say, "For you, I will stop this, even though I will hate myself."
So when I didn't change, this made people livid. They tried force (verbal/physical/mental (such as, "Where do you think you will go when you die?! Huh?!" Therefor causing me to think "Oh my god, I'm going to burn!" Yeah, right), to change me; It only strengthened me.
I am now at a point of fanciful Gothic. I like to look sharp in my funereal garments. And oh yes, baby, I do. Love me! Eh, so I have some extra pounds, who cares? I still look damn good in make-up and a dress!...Anyway, back to topic.
I became better at what I was, Gothic. My eyeliner was praised by women and men alike. You know you've got it down when a woman says "Wow, your make-up is better done than mine!" (You know you love me, baby)
But here's where I am looking at now: What the fuck is the media and the parents feeding these fucking kids?!
"Mommy and daddy will never understand my dark hatred for everything, man! I'll slit my wrists if they don't love me! Damn! All I want is that dress/car/shirt/shoes/etc!"
That's all these kids think. I walked into Gothic when I was sixteen, and these kids are eleven and twelve going into it thinking, "Woooowwww! I'm so fucking cool!" Then in public, act like they know the divine key to living life itself, act so fucking arrogant like they have something everyone wants (maybe a pedophile who wants to fuck them, kill them, then fuck them again). They wear make-up, and not even good looking make-up, they wear band shirts, bondage pants and act so fucking tough. The ONLY reason I am not beating the living shit out of them, is jail time.
Then, these little kids think they can get what they want (attention/materialism) if they say they are suicidal and will slit their wrists, take some pills, if they don't get what they want. They act like spoilt brats. For this is how they act, so this, is how I will treat them.
It is like an ant colony. They band together in their shitty make-up and horrible fashion sense, and think they own the world. "Fear me mommy! Fear me daddy, I LIKE MARILYN MANSON!" Oh wait, pardon me, it's "MM" now. Marilyn Manson is like the personal jesus for these wasted life forms. They wear his shirts, put up all of his pictures and worship him. It's fucking disgusting. Manson used to promote individualism, not herd/group conformity, now look at him: "Look at my new suits! Dress like me!" And if you confront them about this, "You're just jealous man!" It's like they feel these people will actually help them. Kind of like, "strength in numbers" type deal. To me, intellect is strength, and you whining babies show none of it.
And what the fuck is this "Goth pride?" There was no "Goth pride" when I was growing up around this subculture of Gothic. What the fuck is this shit? There was this kid on the bus years back when I was in High School, I was a Senior, and he was a Freshman, acted like he was so fucking cool, acted like he was pissed off and said "I'm Goth...man...Goth pride, yo." Why act so fucking angry? You must be mirroring how we feel about you little ingrates. We fucking hate you...end of story. Stop wearing such shirts as "I'm a freak!" "I'm so Goth, I'm dead." "Ain't nuthin' but a Goth thing." Stop misusing the word, "Freak" and "Twisted" and "Psycho." I used to classify myself as a Freak, meaning opposite of the Norm (Christian/White washed/Plain-Jane). Now you little kiddies are like, "I'm a freak yo!" No, you're an ingrate.
Sure, I wear band shirts, but I don't fucking promote them like they are the best piece of material on the planet. Yes, I am proud of the band, but I would rather wear a long sleeved dress shirt. Band shirts come last in my closet. I wear them when I can't find anything better.
So in closing; Stop whining because your mommy and daddy won't give you what you want, stop "slitting" your wrists with safety-pins (...you're only tearing open capillaries), "Fuck life!" Well fuck you too, that's showing that you haven't made anything of yourself to have a good life. If you want to wear make-up, make it look good, or take it off. Take off those cheap-ass imitations of bondage pants from Hot Topic. And don't dare throw my words in my face, "I'm an individual!" No, you're Marilyn Manson's personal imitations and personal bitch. Whores like you give him the money he needs to act obnoxious.
To use Marilyn's own words against him, all you gothic kids are "just a copy of an imitation." Each year the age gets lower and lower for these kids. Next, I'll see a one year old gothic, throwing tantrums he can't get his uber gothic diapers.
