I dont like using the term poser. Some people may seem "fake" but if that is who they are, then they arent posing as anything.
Anyway, he came up to us (a group consisting of me and some co workers) complaining about his work and about how he had to stand with the sun beaming on him for hours and only got 20 minute breaks with his hour lunch. Even worse, he had to stay at his photo shoots for up to 8 hours including his hour lunch!
*gasp*
Of course this pissed me off. I run around a hot fryer, get 15 minute breaks, and, even though we are entitled to an hour, I only get 30 minute lunches because were so poorly staffed in the deli. Im at work a total of 9 hours most days but have gone up to 10.
We were talking about bands. I told him the only real goth bands I cared for were The Cure and Bauhaus. He didnt consider these goth and told me how much he didnt like them.
whether you like it or not, it is goth. that is like me saying strawberries arent food because I dont like them
blah blah blah kid youre probably a poser and just pretending to look cool in front of us....a bunch of people that couldnt care less.
Truth: real goths listen to whatever they like. He didnt like anything that wasnt labeled goth. I see more goths in jeans and a band shirt than I see goths in black. Yes...not all goths dress in black.
So what am I then? Well sometimes I dress like this
sometimes like this
and this
and this
but its usually all smashed together.
Is it original? Probably not. I guarantee someone out there is exactly like me. But who cares? Its what we like.
as far as music...rock, classical, and electronic are my basic three. Am I a goth? Probably not. I have stopped trying to pin a label on myself yeeaaarrsss ago. It was much too hard.
Back on topic...this guy could have very much been a poser or could have truly been a strangely passive aggressive my way or the highway goth type thing. I dont know!
