If you like being DARK, then BE DARK.
I agree with you. Who are people to judge you for your appearance?
I am not into the GOTH world myself, not interested, never have been and don't ever intend to be.
I just think that judgemental behaviour stems from an ignorant, uniformed and insecure person.
Look, we all judge to a degree. Be it about the cloths others wear or the food on our own plates. We are all guilty of doing it on some level or another.
The difference between us and them is that we choose not to break others down just to feel better about ourselves. It childish, hurtful and without these guilty persons even realising it, they become the reason that a lot of our kids, teenagers and adults use drugs, alcohol etc, and die from them. They become the reason that they commit suicide.
Message for the judgemental folks out there. When you do call people names, say hurtful things, throw things at people or find ways in general to embarrass others, take a few second to try to understand what it is that you are doing to the self confidence of other. Put yourself in their shoes for a day. You might as well be the person that pulls the trigger of the gun, kicks the chairs from under their feet while they hang from the rope or be the blade the allows them to bleed to dead.
So I will say it again, BE DARK if you want to be. Screw others. How boring life would be if we were all the same. Perfection does not exist. If it did? Who is to say what form it should take, what it would wear, what music it should be listening to.
The reason your family might not be as accepting, specifically your sister, is her lack of understanding. To her, what she does, says, listens to and wears is classed as normal. Anything out of her little world, and I stress the word LITTLE because her mind is narrow and not open to experiencing other things or accepting them. Anyway, anything out of her world is unfamiliar and something she cannot understand immediately turns to a judgement.
You are who you are and never change it for anyone. If we all sat at our computers watching YOU TUBE, who would be out there risking it all on the videos we watch.
The older you get, the more open minded people you will meet. If you come across those that don't like it, so what, walk on past them. For example, I don't like brussel sprouts, guess what? I ain't gonna eat 'em.
Be happy being you, there is only one like you
