Has anyone ever seen a goth smile or laugh?

[barneysdad]

I have never seen a goth smile or laugh is there anything that makes them giggle?

When a skater falls off his board! Or should that be sk8er.

Inwardly they are shrieking with laughter at the pointless futility of our existence.

Cheers.

i used to smile and laugh when i was a goth, even when i go out gothed up, i laugh and joke like anyone else

what a strange question

[Glossopswift]

Tickling. They may not appreciate it but it works. I went to Whitby once and there was some special goth thing on and they were all having a whale of a time, I didn't have to tickle any of em.

Yes I have seen a goth both giggle and laugh. Do I get a price of some sort? ;0)

I've even made some laugh myself. I tickled them...

Seriously though, goths laugh just as much as every one else.

As an ex-goth (and now a neo-goth) I can tell you that they laugh a lot and are generally really nice people.

Don't let the clothes fool you!

[El D]

goths hide their personality behind the clothes/face/etc.

Smiling would ruin their mask and expose their true personalities for ridicule which is what they are afraid of . . .

kind of a dumb question - since when does wearing black mean you are miserable? Perhaps its just being around you that makes them miserable!

I think the clothes make others, like greeneyes, scared and miserable, not the person wearing it!

if black, and nail varnish scares you, then you want to get out more!

so joko,i take it u r a goth..why are u taking it so seriously..it was a joke question.

[joko]

No. I am not a goth, I just find the instant assumptions made towards people because of their style choices a little repellent.

It may have been a joke question but your answer wasn't and neither was the 'send them to hell' comment you made on another post.

you also said in another post that you felt great hitting 30 - well learn to be a bit more tolerant of people who choose to wear a different type of clothes than you - because to most of them that is all it is, you know - a fashion - it isn't about depression, and misery.

you said you felt confident and secure and if thats true you shouldn't care about others clothing.

[greeneyes]

i apologise to all goths...

joko please dont be offended so easily,I personally am a rock fan with a sense of humour,and i genuinely did not set out to hurt your feelings in any way
