[SR28498]

I got to know my boyfriend’s sister – a self-described Goth – when she was my housemate for nine months. She dressed in black almost all the time, mostly because she liked it, but mainly because she’d prescribed to a certain image/lifestyle. Dressing in black is just part of being Goth. She’d mostly been influenced by Goth friends and Goth music early in high school, and I guess she decided she liked it. My boyfriend tells me she’s always had self-esteem problems and a feeling of not belonging. I’m not speaking on behalf of Goths, or even her, but I think she chose the Goth lifestyle to feel like she was socially a part of something. She doesn’t have any piercings – not even her ears are pierced – and from what I know, doesn’t do many outrageous things. I think the weirdest thing she and her friends told me was that they drink merlot wine because of its blood-like color and thickness (Goths like to emulate vampires, but I don’t know any who would drink real blood).

Baggy clothes? Just a really comfortable trend, I think. I don’t know where it originated. I’ve always worn my pants a little saggy and baggy just because it’s so comfortable. Some male friends have told me they think properly-fitting pants look too uptight and preppy.
