Emo/goth/satanist/neo-nazi/rebels - alternative lifestyles

To be blunt, I think you need a reality check, life is not like a TV show where you have to go through tests to get into a highschool clique. However, not knowing a whole lot about Neo-Nazism, perhaps there is a legitimate entrance trial. I'm thinking that you seem to be a pretty average person that hasn't a group for himself, life isn't about groups, but if you feel so inclined to join one, you should first consider every angle of each group. You won't fit into the stereotypical 'Emo' group if you don't like dressing in dark clothes, or become frustrated with you emotion. I wouldn't recommend the KKK or Neo Nazism unless you're willing to adhere to their strict policies. You don't seem sexist or racist so I'd stay away from that. You could 'choose' to be in any group as long as you find that it fits in with what you're really like. You could try the Hipster subculture, the Historic Battle reenactors (even if you mostly have to be born into a family that do these things, much like it is to become an actor). You could try the people who hang out in coffee shops, the cubicle workers, the strippers, the gossiping ladies, the guys who go offroading every weekend, the ones who frequent your local bar, the athletes of your area, you could become a ladies man or the pricks who think they are better than everyone else or you could work your way to the top in terms of becoming a Socialite. All of this depends on who you really are, but in the grand scheme of things, you don't need a group.

Jeez, you sound like a researcher.

Look, don't go emo. Satanic, goth, etc., those are fine, but emo is full of people who give people with mental illnesses (depression, bipolar, etc.) a bad name.

Majority of those that are emo that I've met, do extreme things and blame it on a mental illness. Thus, scaring the shit outta those who've never had or known someone with a mental illness.

Along with that, they're wannabes and will say something along the lines, "I dress this way to express myself. No one dresses like me. I like rainbows and I eat cheerleaders for breakfast."

Etc etc.

And look, continue to be yourself, you don't need to change to fit in. There are people out there that will like you for you.

I'm a Neo Nazi and although we are not directly linked to satanism.. We like to rape children

I'm a "Neo-Nazi" and we are in no way related to Satanism. If you were so smart, you would know that.

Hiya,

Why do you need one?? Some people in groups can be a bit strange.

I don't call myself anything, because I'll probably change my mind next week.

If my parents weren't happy with something I wanted to do, there must be a good reason.

You sound very ummm... "spectrumy"; like you have autism/Asperger's similar [It's the "researching" various things and intellect that say that to me].

Honestly, the only way to actually research where you fit in - if at all - is to try as many groups as you feel like you could potentially identify with and wait and see whether any members of that group genuinely accept you as a friend even after you get kicked out.

I'm saying this as somebody who is on the spectrum themselves and has made friends with a mixture of goths, bookish types, ultra-fashionable ones, nerds/geeks and several people who all look and behave quite differently in many ways (and similarly in some others), but are all fans of the same band.

Oh man I wish I could talk to you for hours about this. I have been alternative for years ever since I can remember i've been more attracted to walking in cemeteries then going to parks when I was young. I have been everything, emo, goth, scene, Lolita, decor, steampunk, visual kei, and many other sub ganre that only harajuku knows. First off look everything up. Goths are a HUGE ganre with hundreds of sub-sub ganre that incorporate into it. Same with emo and Lolita. There are many books that you can get off interlibrary loan so you won't have to buy it. I wish I could tell you everything, I really would, but that would be quite a long comment. Anyways alternate people look slightly for their own kind, they just look more attractive but it is EXTREMELY hard to find them, But they are there. Go to lots of concerts and talk to people. If you're lucky to even have bands come to your state (unlike Nebraska, no one comes here). But most alternates people are quite social and love life not sweat it. Just don't point out to is why we look different, we dressed ourselves this morning, we know what we look like. Good luck!

Why don't you just explore what's out there independently of any group, and just become friends with people you connect with? Don't worry about finding a "group", just find what you like.. Food, fashion, hobbies, etc. Go to different places. Explore anything that seems like something you would enjoy. See where that takes you, and if the person you end up being doesn't fit any stereotype? So be it, people weren't meant to be so easily pinned down. :)

Screw stereotypes! I know at times we try to fit in not knowing we already do. I came out of the closet with my BF our junior year. We were trying to be part of a group we didn't belong to, not knowing we were the ones 3 gay couples looked up to<3

Gay relationships are much different than your situation, but take your life into your hands. No rules! Lookin for something new? Try a discreet same sex relationship. It will not only open new questions but you will learn a ton about yourself, gay or not!

118 isn't 'very' intelligent. It's pretty normal.

Emo people are not bad. They are just like anyother person. The only difference is that when they are sad or angry they dont know how yo handle the emotions. Do not become emo, but if you ever become close to someone who is emo you should try to help them and love them. Not say how stupid and worthy of death they are

If you're actively trying to and need help to fit in there then don't bother.

it's okay to take people's opinion on these different groups and styles, but why don't you sample a bit of each one personally? find some people from each group to hang out with; get to know them. it could be fun!
