Stamp Text:
GOTH
is not a
Fashion Statement
it is a
State of Mind.

Description:
I honestly get so sick to death of the Emo Brats, Drama Queens, Mansonites, Baby Bats, Trend Whores, Fashion Kiddies, and Rebels Without a Clue sitting there dressed in all black “In Vogue” crap from Hot Topic and dying their black and/or purple/red/blue with their black nails and eye makeup on their powdered white faces wearing dog collars pretending they’re Goth just to be “Cool” or to get attention. I’ve got news for all of them: You are NOT Goth, you are poseur children who seriously need to grow the fuck up. True Goths do not follow fashion trends to look cool, true Goths have a real inner state of mind who choose to express themselves through their clothes, art, writings, music, and décor, most often MAKING their own personal decorations for their home and bodies, not buying ready made crap at the store. Every Goth looks different and expresses themselves in their own very personal ways, not picking out cute cookie cutter shit that everyone else wears. So to all of you Emo Brats, Drama Queens, Mansonites, Baby Bats, Trend Whores, Fashion Kiddies, and Rebels Without a Clue pretending to be Goth: grow up and get a life. The rest of us are sick of your crap making us look bad because you can’t control yourselves and insist on being stupid!

As for those who are Real Baby Goths trying to find their place and identity, look to the True Goths like me that are in your area to help you find your real self and your place among our own kind. Don’t be afraid to ask us for guidance. The real Goth culture is an awesome thing; we just get tired of the fake wannabe poseurs crashing our party. >.< You can not buy it, but you can live it. Goth is who you are, not what you wear.

I recently found a very well written explanation of what is and is not Goth, written by a lovely Goth person named Azhram.  Feel free to have a look and see what this gal has to say about it.  I wrote a journal with my answers to the points listed here.

Note: Comments welcome, but be polite, no trolling, and if I do not have a critique request posted, do not offer critiques. I do not tolerate trolls and excessively negative people. Do NOT use my stamps as a free license to start a debate; that is NOT why I post stamps. I post stamps to share them with like minded people for their enjoyment, and for those who support what the stamps are about to feature in their collections or favourites. And if I state “End Of Line” in a conversation, it means the conversation is over for a reason and I will not be responding. If you insist on continuing to comment after I have given that warning, you will be blocked with no further warning or discussion.

Permission to feature this in Collections, Journals, etc is freely granted. You are not allowed to repost my stamps on DA or anywhere else. Some of these are very personal and I will not grant permission for their use on DA or elsewhere nor will I grant permission for these stamps to be reposted anywhere for any reason. Do not copy my designs either. These are personal pieces and will not be for sale at any point in time.
