Does it sound like i'm a goth?

Many of my friends and relatives think I'm a goth. I listen to typical "goth" music sometimes, like Sopor Aeternus or similar, but I also like music like Marilyn Manson, Tom Waits and Disturbed. I dress mainly in black, but it's usually something simple, like a black blouse with leather pants and black pointy toe boots, sometimes I wear a leather jacket, but again a simple one. For acessories I have usually a plain dark red leather purse, printed scarves in dark colors and simple jewelery, like a sterling silver ring with an eyeball or an inverted pentagram necklace. My hair is short and usually dyes purple or dark red, and I like to wear light foundation, dark eye makeup and black lipstick. I almost always paint my nails black. I'm creative and artistic more or less, work as a tailor and sometimes like to write poetry. Do I sound like I could be a goth?

    Who cares? People should just wear what they like and be who they like rather than worrying about stupid stereotypes.

        I never considered myself goth but people always assumed I was too. Like Saddenedunicorn said I believe you are only goth if you choose to label yourself that.

    You're only a goth if you want to label yourself as one. I personally never believe in labels as I find it a bit childish. But if you want to be goth, just tell yourself you're a goth and BAM, instead goth.

    I'm a male and I suck mens dicks. I also take it in the ass as well as fucking other men in the ass. I am sexually attracted to men and masturbate to gay porn. I was once in a week long relationship with a guy 10 years older than me. Am I gay?

    I hope this helped you understand my feelings toward your story.

          Well the Goths did say I should be one. I never stuck to it. I use to dress in all black too but I never identified as one even though everyone said I was.

              Actually I started copying the person I was with. I do not know why. It is the strangest thing when you become a clone of your lover.

    Yes, you do sound like a goth. If I was particularly into assigning people to stereotypes and I saw you, I would put you in the "goth box", based on your description of yourself anyway :P

    Why do you ask?

    • People like to bother me and ask me if I'm goth.

    You are who you are. Labels are superficial. A lot of people might call me gothic because I like things that a typical "goth" likes, but I don't consider myself anything but the person that I am.

    If you want to label yourself as goth, then I guess you are goth, but a person likes what they like and that doesn't make them anything but themselves.
