Why Label what we are not

I don’t know how to start what I’m going write. Ok let’s start from something that everyone likes. Music it’s something everyone loves. Music totally changes people. There style of living is changed due to music. GOTH one of the most favorite now a days in Maldives. People all dressing in black having mascara using black lipstick. I don’t get it. Is that what people call Goth? I don’t think so. It’s how they think. How they are born from the start it self, we know who they are. Most of the people will say ok they have mental problems. They are different doesn’t mean that they have mental problems. Well anyway I saw these 4 kids who act like Goths. They dress in black have mascara. Wears pentagram. And the entire skull related things. Piercing from here and there. No offence I do love piercing too. It is nice. But don’t over act. These people think they are really cool. Ok here is what I think. Goth is actually like more of anti-Christ thing. Are we Christians? No. do we defy god? No. yea there are some who does defy god I know. But still its mostly based on anti-Christ thing. How can we be Goths?

Let’s move on to another one a very popular music and one of my favorite. Grunge otherwise known as punk rock or alternative rock. One of my colleagues. He is from Tunisia was asking me what’s my favorite music. I said grunge. So he was asking to name some bands. I named Nirvana, Alice in chains, silverchair and Sound garden etc. These are some of my favorites. Other than that my favorites would be like Marilyn Manson. He just looked at and said “so you’re always in to some dark thing right? You’re always moody and you don’t like people too much and stuff like that etc …” well that is basically true. But I dress normally. Just t-shirt and jeans. Mostly I wear black t-shirts and blue jeans. Is there anything wrong in that? So what if I’m not like others I know I don’t fit with most of the people. I do try but never succeeded. I do have friends but no one is so close to me. Because I don’t let them be close to me. I’m not so open like other guys. Does that make me that much different from others. I think I’m just normal.

Do we have to label ourselves? That we are Goths? I don’t think so. Then why do people label themselves? To act cool?

Ok let me tell you guys and girls of another type. These are people who live in the shadows of Goth. They are one step down. These people label themselves ad EMO. This is a group that most Maldivian’s doesn’t know about. It’s a hardcore punk music. These people are pretty strange from my point of view. EMO girls look really cute. They wear clothes that have stripes. Fishnet is a trend they have for girls. I really adore those. But when it comes to guys it’s a totally different picture. They wear those tight jeans and tight shirts. Mostly have glitter near there eyes. So they will look pretty. Most of the EMO guys that I have seen are mostly gay. They hate Goth people a lot. Gets in to fights a lot with Goths. It’s how they are. When I spoke about EMO there seem to be no one who understood it. Most of the people never even heard of it. I can name one band that plays EMO music Head Automatica. Well anyway I don’t know what im writing anymore so I will just end it. I'm too sleepy.
