Goth Research Paper
Whether we admit it or not, we all do it. We judge people on what they are wearing and put them in groups with people who are dressed similar. This started way back, even before our parents were in school, and now we have carried it down to our schools. A football player walks by; he is classified as a “jock”. Another student walks by wearing black and has a nose ring; suddenly she becomes a “goth”. No, this is not a logical way to group a person up, but it is what we do. Below are just a few ways we humans like to classify people.
The “Jocks” First we have the jocks. If a person is classified as a jock, they are an all-star athlete. They prance around school in their letterman jackets, new Nike’s, and they seem to be one of the more popular …show more content…
The goths are one of the most misinterpreted groups yet. People in general think that if you listen to heavy metal, you wear black clothing, and you like anime characters, that you are definitely a goth. Actually, that’s not entirely true. Yes, some people are proud goths, but others are just trying to be different that than status quo and really don’t want to be classified as anything but themselves. The more popular groups of people tend to look at this group as the ones who could shoot up the school, or put some kind of curse on you. One of the reasons that these people like being so dark is because of the rude, more popular students.
The “Rednecks” Yes, we all know what I am talking about when you hear the term redneck. Just picture the boots, jeans tucked in them, camo shirt, a hat, and a truck. This type of group is one of the more “fake” groups to put it in better words. Just because you wear boots does not mean you can call yourself a redneck. If you want to be a successful redneck, you have to have the total package. A “fake” redneck only puts in half the effort, causing people to only classify them as a “wanna- be” redneck. These are the ones who do the burn outs in the parking lot, and think it is cool to dip at 15.
In conclusion, I personally think classifying a person by their fashion choice is bizarre. We see the different outfits every day, and I believe it makes us all different in a good way. We all get these different outfits to stand out, but do we all want to be judged because of
