The Un-Goth Me

We all have different interests. There is no goth in the world that that is their whole life. Goths always have non-goth interests. There is no one where everything they do is goth. If someone tried doing that, I think they'd probably go crazy before they realized it's stupid.

So, I have many un-goth interests and things. So, I'll talk about some of that stuff.


I am a band geek. I love my school band, marching band, drum corps, orchestra... Anything like that. I play flute, percussion, and sax in my school ensembles. I'm also one the very elite musicians at my school.
I also play piano. Have been playing for a little over 10 years now. It's my life.


I love reading. I guess this could possibly be a goth thing, cause many goths love to read. And I do read lots of gothic literature.


I LOVE Lady Gaga. I understand that she's a mainstream artists, but that doesn't mean I can't like her! I love the music, and her physical appearance. She's just so wild, and the fact that she's so mainstream yet so "weird" as people might say, is the coolest thing ever to me. I love how she never looks the same. Every time you see her, she looks like a completely different person than at other times. That to me is super cool as well.


I adore theater. I do everything behind-the-scenes in my school's theater. And I really hope that it can be my future career. I'm planning to either major or minor in technical theater in college, haven'y quite decided. Because I want to major in music too, but then there's theater which I want as my career.. But then music.. My director always says that I can do them both, but idk.


You may think that my favorite color is black, but... you're right. My favorite color is in fact black. But, that's not just because I'm goth.. Black has been my favorite color since I was 10. My second favorite color is probably red. But I also LOVE rainbow. It's such a non-goth thing, but I love rainbows and rainbow colored things.
I also love cheetah print. Anything neon cheetah print, I love.



I am a total hippie. I grew up with reggae, and it's kinda in my genetics too. I love the beach, hate shoes, and have dreadlocks. I never shower, love marijuana, and don't even take care of myself enough. It's kinda funny. Also, I'm in the drumline at my high school, and we're basically just a bunch of hippies coming together and drumming. It's pretty rad.
Speaking of reggae, I'm going to see Ziggy Marley in a couple months, super pumped.


I listen to goth music, of course, but not all the time. Really, I don't listen to very much goth music at all.. The little that I do listen to is usually on the more industrial/EBM side of it. The genre I listen to the most is metalcore. Anything you'd classify as "hardcore." Bands I like include: Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine, All That Remains, Disturbed, Slipknot, Pierce The Veil, Five Finger Death Punch, Korn, Stone Sour, A Day To Remember, Woe Is Me, Northlane, Suicide Silence, Like Moths To Flames, Motionless In White, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk, Asking Alexandria, Carnifex... I could go on for hours, but those are the main bands I listen to. So, yes, I listen to goth music, but not primarily.


If I wasn't goth, I'd probably be a big mixture of things. I'd be a hippie as I am now for sure, and I'd be grunge with a touch of indie.
I listen to a TON of not goth music like metal and hardcore stuff. So, I'd be what the norm for one of the hardcore scene would dress as. The typical toms, skinny jeans, tattoos, piercings, stretched ears..
A little something like a mixture of these:

I'm not sure if this is a goth thing, but I am obsessed with Hitler. Like, I honestly don't know why, I just am. I have no reason, it's just the way he looks and how serious he seems.. idk I supposed because of his intensity. That's the word.
So, that's all for today.
Enjoy this picture of Hardcore Hitler!
