Here are some good tips for new goths/ baby bats.

1:A true goth never admits that they are goth.(i remember hearing that so i stick by it.)

2: If you are wearing white face makeup put it past you're neck.Do not use clown white makeup or white face paint.it does not look good.

3:If you don't like traditional goth music at least become familiar with the classic artists so you don't look like a noob.

4:Do not mistake Emo music for goth music they are very different from each other.

5:mix up textures with you're black clothing combine cotton with lace pvc with fur velvet with leather.who needs color when you have texture.

6:Goths and Emos are 100% not the same thing.

7: Don't wear religious symbols you don't know the meaning of.And don't wear band T-shirts you've never heard of.

8:I don't know you're family but don't just expect them to be cool with the whole goth thing.Ease in to it slowly it will make it easier for you're family to accept it.

9:If people yell stupid and hurtful things at you in public ignore it they are just angry that they can be as cool as you.Unless they give you a complement then say thank you.

10:Be nice to everyone.Unfortunately the public will assume bad things about you so you do have to make an extra effort to show them that you are not a bad person.

11:learn how to sew. i have altered lots of my clothes to make them look gothic so try it.
