What Is A Babygoth?

Babygoth-A youngling- usually still fourteen and at the pretentious stage, before they grow up and realise that you don't have to lie and agnst to impress the older ones. usually about 14, the size of a large teddy-bear, and still care about what others think, no matter how they deny it. Many never grow out of it. They're funny, mainly because they're obviously bored and boring. That is the definition of babygoth(here is the link to the site i got it from http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=BabyGoth)Now,being called a babygoth may be kind of annoying sometimes. But the reason that they call you that is because you're new to the sub-culture and most likely(i say most likely because some of you out there decided to do research first) don't now anything except some terrible misconceptions! Here are some misconceptions i copied from Yahoo!(posted by Jennifer Hammit) 1) We Always Wear Black: Okay. I admit, a good deal of my wardrobe is black, but I do wear many other colors too. Usually the contents of our closet are darker, but that does not prohibit us from wearing lighter colors or even pastels. We will not get kicked out of the club for wearing light blue. Goth is a heart issue. It is an attitude. Sure many of us buy into the external trappings too, but that isn't what MAKES us goth. 2) We all use grease paint and black lipstick: While many of us are quite pale, and some of use make ourselves paler with the aid of make up (I do not need any help in that department), many do not. Black lipstick is also something that is not universal. Some people wear it, and actually make it work. I do not. I might if it didn't look ridiculous on me for certain events. It is a personal taste issue on both counts. 3) We are all UBER depressed and morbid: Yeah, have you ever watched NCIS ? Abby, the gothy character is super hyper and happy. Just because we are more attuned to the darker elements in life, does not mean we are all death obsessed and mopey. Don't get me wrong, some of us are, but the over all majority is not. 4) We are all Satanist/Wiccans: Goth is not a religion. Goths have a wide range of beliefs. Some are Christian, some are Atheists, some are Jewish, and yes some are Satanists and Wiccans (just to name a few). 5) We are all underachiever teenagers going through a "Hot Topic" phase: Not so much on this one either. Actually, goths are a wide range of ages. Admittedly, there may be a quite a few teens who may "try out" the whole goth lifestyle. This does not mean that you should panic the first time your child comes home with New Order t-shirt. Ask questions, pay attention, find out why your child has made these changes. It may be they are just going through a phase. It may be they are really "goth" at heart, and they will be just fine. Make sure it isn't a sign of something else. Many goths have been that way for decades. They grew up. Some of them went to college. Many of us have good professional jobs. Now that is only a short list.......but the thing is if you're like that,it's fine if you like being that way that is perfectly ok.I am not here to judge you :)!  See? This is also a perfect example of misconceptions!!!  (got this idea from Stripy Tights and Dark Delights at http://ultimategothguide.blogspot.ca/) Listening to Brains-Voltaire
