  • omz i think im gawth!!! xD i feel so proud xP haha but I think im kinda preppy and upbeat too.................

  • Am thinking about be comeing a goth :D

  • i watch these vids but they seem pretty shallow....

  • Any scene, such as goth, isn't just about the cloths. e.o And that the hell? The goggles are steam-punk.. Not goth. -.-

  • Oh God this is so funny =P

    Got to love the 'cool metal hardwear'... um...

  • i`m thinking about going goth.

  • Comment removed

  • WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKIN MUSIC???

  • I naturally cant conform the more I try to conform the more I tend to not conform, its like a disease now I just need the look.

  • black cloth xD

  • These videos make me so uncomfortable. I feel like goth ideal is being pushed as a brand, cut up into equal and simple layers and portions. What the hell, man. I don't mean to sound pretentious or elitist, but I have to say it really demonstrates the "new era goth," all presented as a rebellious, childish plague of adolescence in which we purposefully disobey everything. Thank you for making something interesting and personal absolutely trivial, troll.

  • how to become goth: you don't, you're either goth or you aren't; goth is merely the expression of what's within, the whole fashion and lifestyle are just a byproduct of that self expression

  • Fuck cyber goth and cyber goggles, welding goggles is where its at with us Industrialists.

  • EMOS ARE BETTER!

  • How about this? Just wear whatever you fucking want to wear. Don't let anybody else tell you otherwise. That to me, is not being true to yourself. That's like being mainstream, only it's darker. Back then we wore it because we liked it and it felt "right". Now there's even more people telling us wht goes together and what doesn't. Were making the same mistake we told ourselves we wouldn't do from the beginning. And that's being a follower. Be true to urself & don't let ppl tell u otherwise. :)

  • Comment removed

  • Yes, its not just the fashion. But you do not appear a true Goth to me. It starts from within, and ends in the fashion.

  • the mainstream is sorta accepting goth, soooo a lot of this cheesy stuff has to happen.

  • @MissHorrifica i try to said hi one day and he ignore me but when he show up at philadelphia he give me a free fv tshirt and said sorry.

  • ok, this video is like ahah "how to be goth" but, i think that guy is cute soo...its alll good =)

  • You can tell Jet is trying not to crack up the whole time.

  • ...No comment.

  • CONFORMISTS!!!!!!

  • vampire freaks <3

  • Also, every Goth is different within the spectrum of typical Gothic fashion. For example, every Goth girl doesn't wear a corset: some like them, some don't. You mix and match, and make your own personal style within the broader style.

  • This is to all the people who are confused about the whole "being an individual in a group" thing. I know it seems contradictory, but the fact is, it's impossible for humans to not conform to something. It's basic psychology: people need to feel they are unique, yet they need to feel they belong somewhere. The difference with Goths is they choose what lifestyle they will conform too, rather than just following the majority. It makes sense in our minds, it just doesn't always come out right! :D

  • WHY DO EMOS HAVE TO RULE THE ENTIRE DARK WORLD!!!!????

  • @Deadkyd poser much?

  • goths are all dead

  • @skwrking yes but unfortunately that's because of all the lame emo's who are taking over now, which sucks.

  • Being a goth is not like being an Emo

    Emos are like a dumb teen trend

    Goths are people around u everywhere

    and they don't necessarily dress all black

    it's not all about the clothes or the looks you can tell if they're awesome people

    without even getting to know them

  • wow i be shoping there

  • how am i thinking for myself if hes telling me what to think

  • "How to be a posser" :D

  • I love gothic stuff and I'm totally a goth

    but I didn't show it to some other people

    I'm afraid they will just laugh and insult me

    sorry for the bad English

    Filipino here

  • @xXrainmakerXx25  people make fun of me for being goth. they just don't understand what goth IS. so go and express your self in goth ways!!! if your friends are REALLY your friends they will learn to accecpt YOU for who YOU are. good luck!!

  • being an individual... but grouping yourself into being "goth." this makes no sense.

  • @tubbymctubsta if you feel that way den y u watch dis video

  • @Scoutsniperdiv32 because i was wondering what sort of points they were going to make.

  • I think it's sad that theres such a big confusion goths and metalheads. Like "Oh he wears a black t-shirt and listens to rock music, so he must be a goth!" It's just stupid.

  • don't forget about the very core of what it is to be Gothic, the very thing which have given the name to the whole subculture: Gothic Horror Literature. To see every thing, even life itself, in a more macabre way. :P suits me very well :)

  • hot topic is more bearable than this shit.

  • she is cute 

  • its hard to every take you seriously when your wearing googles like that on your head

  • Thatr wasnt related to goth. It was an emotional roller coaster. I think some how I lost myself in there me being goth may have very well saved my life.

  • Jet is hot. Aside from that, my experience becoming goth happened right before a tragic event involving me, I almost killed myself.

  • okay I think these vids are boring and ridiculous! But for some reason, I think Jet is adorable, seems gay, but somehow he's kinda hot to me am I the only one?

  • yyy cant there be a vf in simi valley

  • oh com'on im disappointed with many opinions every person has different mind... always will be fake people.. & u care about that? jus lettem be... what are we gonna do? trying to make them feel bad or disappear? jus get over it.. & dont try to show HOW GOTH you are that's so old & stupid also to is boring forget it... sometimes is better to say nothing.... GROW UP!! i liked some videos here

  • oh com'on im disappointed with many opinions every person has different mind... always will be fake people.. & u care about that? jus lettem be... what are we gonna do? trying to make them feel bad? to make them disappear? jus get over it.. & dont try to show HOW GOTH you are that's so old & stupid also to is boring just forget it... sometimes is better to say nothing... & if u saw things that u dont like it just keep it.. GROW UP!! but i liked some videos here

  • Lol...I love to watch these vids...

    It sucks so bad it's almost entertaining...

  • those spike collars r cool but those spikes r really sharp = = " well the shop i went to is lol so i dare not buy it zz

  • Have to admit Sue is pretty cute.

  • Where do u get goggles

  • Goths are fags......

  • @lfscout777 don't be a dmf

  • @lfscout777

    According to this vid, yes, goths are fags.

    But try real goths. It's a different world.

  • This is coming dangerously close to being mainstream with prices that are definitely high fashion. Many real 'goths', for want of a better word to describe us, find these mass produced fashions totally our of reach. Goth has fallen into the evil clutches of global capitalism and the cynical 'quick buck' economy. There is something very wrong about Asian child labour sweatshops churning out gothic fashions and accessories.

  • *facepalm*

  • lol wow hahahahahah being goth isnt just wearing clothes it is a life style not a fashoin thing

  • ... this is sad....HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • Damn, I've been going all this time the wrong way! Thanks for straightening me out, skippy! Those days of thinking Goth was about the music, the scene, the community, and having a good time are way gone now! Where can I get these armwarmers again? /end sarcasm

    ...it's in the can. ( <<<< If you know what I'm talking about, thumbs up.)

  • im goth i think this is just a way to give ppl idea for what look they want but personally i dont wanna look like any other goth my wearing what they wear

  • wounder if those are avp figures lol also why does he always talk about the cyber goggles?

  • @Masterjohn360 lol yes he does metion cyber goggles alot funny comment

  • i love the goth culture btw any gothic gus looking for a date

  • im on VF but these ppl sound like posers to me. you cant teach someone how to be a goth im sorry but you cant.

  • @sallysragdoll You can still inform them on what it is about rather then having people going around saying, "I'm wearing black clothes and wearing loads of make-up, mayun! I'm goth now, amirait?" without even knowing there's a deeper meaning, something on the inside.

  • @Braleven true but for me goth is about being yourself and liking what you to like. if you want to dress in all black then so be it, to me as long as your being yourself. I wear this stuff because i like it and not everyone else (where i live) is wearing this kind of stuff. (again being myself).

  • @Braleven ...when i discovered who i was (goth) i didnt have vids and "heroes" to look to for "how i should be dressing" i fell into it on my own. and there are ppl that are goth but dont dress like this, but that doesnt take away from what/who they are.

  • @sallysragdoll Don't worry about it, I know what you mean. It is disappointing for me to grow up in a time where all these "how to" videos came out. It's like a freaking rulebook on how to be yourself now.

  • @Braleven im sorry i just dont think that this vid should be titled "how to be goth" because to me that sounds like your taking a person who knows nothing about it and just dressing them up to "look" the part. because as u said in the vid there is more to it then what you have on or look like, i just think the title should be changed.

  • omg.. you forgot the music you dope head... the music is the key thing in the goth lifestyle..

  • agreed

  • looking for gothic guys that can save me from my loneliness

  • looking for a gothic girl that is cynical and not retarded...

  • @gothicjokercro lol u can find em on vf

  • omfg best website ever :D!

  • These "How to be Goth" videos are hilarious. You can't just watch a video on how to be goth to become one. It's a way of life. Not a fashion trend.

  • @wolfblood181990

    Thank you!

  • @wolfblood181990 I got to say though, Jet does explain it pretty well. He later on mentions it's a way of thinking.

    To me goth is just a darker version of punk, the music and clothes is just a way of expressing that thought. And that's why wearing what I wear makes me happy :3

    Lol

  • @wolfblood181990 your so right!

  • @wolfblood181990 your so right! 

  • @wolfblood181990 Did you watch the entire video? He says exactly that at the end..

  • @wolfblood181990 it's just some marketing plot to make money.It's not about music to people of their thinking and lot.

  • @wolfblood181990 its funny because it literally is a fashion trend

  • Hmm..I like the googles. But i would just recommened that you don't wear them but keep them on your head like that. I personaly think it looks nicer that way =P

  • Somehow I missed the goth part in all that baggy pants and cyber goggles.

    It's more like a skate/techno crossover or something, but I guess that's just what happened to the scene...

    A way of thinking, common interests... yeah, great, but what exactly are those?

    If you want to know what Goth is and want to use nothing but popular standard web resources, rather go for Wikipedia - the articles are quite well researched. And make sure to start not with the 1980s but rather the 1760s...

  • i go there lots of times but find nothing bout the 60s.

    are u sure it's wikipedia?

  • someone tolled me that since i have like 7 piercings in my face and i listen to some music thats not goth that it makes me not goth.???? wtf?

  • well your name says emo theres a diffrence between emo and goth

  • LOL COCELS!!

  • hot topic?! come on! thats just an insult to alternate clothing

  • Comment removed

  • oh! and P.S. ITS ABOUT THE F**KING MUSIC

  • What is funny in my opinion is how as goth subculture has come more into the known, thousands of shops start trying to promote their stupid accessories and clothes. Anyone happen to forget how back in the 80s all of the clothes and stuff where made by hand? Even today people actually create their image and clothes by themselves, no need for those stupid overused stuff shops push forward. haha talk about originality.

  • not every1 can make there own stuff.

    some ppl have aren't creative or some just don't have time.

    i sometimes make my own stuff but to me its just more fun going shopping and buying cloths.

  • @metalchic61 yeah i meen its all from factorys right? no matter where you buy them their all made to be worn bi the same place where ever in the US that is.......

  • i like the way people say being a goth is about originality.... you all wear the same clothes,, listen 2 the same genre of music. half of gths iv seen look like theyve never seen a burger there that pale..........................­........

  • ive seen a rivethead goth listening to Beyonce.. cos she loves her. Goth is original.. you cant compare it to scene or emo.

  • @vikki12307 I like aqua and 80`s pop music, along with the old school goth bands..I`m also into dark techno , classical and 80`s glam rock. :)

  • so....."burgers" give u a tan???

  • @GothicRose1981 oh my god. Hilarious! xD

    

  • love the black and purple top on the top left corner

  • i know right haha. Being Goth is all about originality. And i hate that some ppl would even describe goth in this way. It's so Main Stream the type of stuff he's saying to wear and stuff.

  • Jet... what have you done?

    -_-

  • I agree with mcrfreakbp

  • It's kind of ironic how there's this mainstream - gothic thing which jet is obviously into...

    Germans may know the song

    kontrast - einheitsschritt

    watch?v=V-qPw1MDn-Y

  • Wow, this really.. this brought the luls. I've never thought of "wearing cool metal hardware".

    Can you say "Middle America mall goth?" Cause this screams lame.

    I'm so glad this video discussed the music. -sarcasm-

  • Someone walks in the club:

    1. So, (drink) how do you became a goth (smiling)?

    2. NaH, I watched that Jet Video at youtube. He is SO wondeRAbulousmaZINg, DON't yOU thinK (bunny hopping)?

    1. Looser....

  • Comment removed

  • im gona become goth! so STFU you haters

  • i think its.. kinda gay haha

  • Being goth is a lot about wearing this and that and blah blah blah...STFU! Hate hearing bs like that!

  • doing it wrong hahhaaha

    gollly gosh what overpriced pieces of shit

    look at the tacky corsets, too much black

  • Vampire Freaks....the new cater to the mallgoth.

  • C'mon kiddies, be original!

    Honestly, I think this whole clip was made just to garner more sales for his shop, and in that light it's not so stupid; it's smart, even if it preys on those sheepish, malleable types. Baaah! It makes me a bit sad for them as it's those types that go out spending hundreds of dollars on their "gawth look" that are never going to mesh with the alt community. Unless they're female and an attention wh0re, in which case, it's deemed marginally acceptable. Zzzz....

  • Goth is mostly a fashion. Ideologie time is a bit over :)

  • jet, you wouldn't know what goth is if you whent and made a website dedicated to it. oh you already did that, and you still don't know what goth is? you poor man.

  • "Goth is about not accepting what the media gives you"

    Yes, which is why this very video is called "How To Be Goth". I once had respect for this man -_-

  • 100% agree with you mate

  • How to be goth?? Um be yourself? Gawd Everyone thinks goth is a freak fashion statement..to sum people it's a life style. This is a joke really..even tho I do like the bondage Bracelets XD

  • This guy needs to take off his costume. Ridiculous.

  • Those arm wamers would be good for my friend since she likes wearing those. Anyway I still think this video is dumb.

  • I don't think if your really goth you would shop at vampirefreeks, for the same reason real punks don't shop at hot topic, goth is supposto be speritual right? so I don't think wearing stuff fed to you by a giant maschiene will be really apealing to the true goth scene (south park did a nice perody on it with "vampire kids")

  • I think you should shop wherever you want, be it Hot Topic or Vampire Freaks. The goal is finding the clothing you like, where you get it doesn't really matter in the end.

  • in short I agree with you, my problem lies more in when people are trying to be something they are not just becouse it's "cool"

  • I know, theres nice skeletal and dragon shirts sold @ Wal-Mart.

  • i AGREE fully

  • This is better than Emo "keep cutting yourself,we don't care if you die!!!"

  • what the fuck

  • you look like a fucking FREAK and it NOT COOL

  • I don't see why people get so upset about this.  Who cares if people want to dress in all black and wear spiked stuff? I'd be more upset with the people who are willing to spend thousands on designer shit.

  • u do have a good point there...

  • more like how to be a retard

  • HOW TO BE AN IDIOT AND HOW TO BECOME GAY

  • The opening statement says alot - being a goth isn't about what you wear. I'm not a goth, or emo or anything, but I used to consider myself under such categories and I never ever did it for how I look. I did it to try out new things, to go with my music choices.

  • i fucking hate this flaming skinny punk

  • L.M.A.O.

  • This is what happens when u let a churchgroup direct a "goth" segment. Fucking pathetic.

  • Simple honest statement:

    You Can not tell someone how to be something that supposed to be about individualism...if you tell them what to wear think and act then they are no longer an individual....hopefully you read some of the more educated comments out of ours and think on what we said, some of us do make a whole lot of sense

  • why is this rated low lol it makes so much sence o.o;

  • how to be a douche bag 101

  • man i need to fuck that girl sue

  • lol reminds me of the south park episodes with the goth kids

  • How to be a middleschooler.

    You don't need leather-chain necklaces and bracelets to be an intellectual. Actually, it's kind of the other way around.

  • goth clothing and lifestyle: how to be gay and retarded

  • I think you referring to EMO

  • i wonder how any of this entails being an "intellectual" .do you mean "artistic"? anyway-as boring and predictable as someone would expect from the sons and daughters of some bureaucratic bourgeois babbit. keep on expressing your prefabricated individuality

  • so fun how you says is about questioning sociaty, and not do everything is sociable acepted, well u are a goth ur in a social group, u even share a particular way of dressing with this people. i think sociaty in general is evil, but people like u are as well, with all ur violent negative way of representing ur self. plus is not confortable at all, im not gonna please a group in sociaty if there arent any advantages, i rather join the nude club than the goth club.

  • "YOU CAN ACT LIKE A MAN!!! Whats the matter with you?"

  • Perhaps they should rename this video "How to be a clone."

  • This is cute.

  • Ya, your so smart.

  • Nah, I think that's emo man lol.

  • Stereotyping takes a road into unbelievable stupidity.

  • omfg gaaaaay

  • I hate how any goth that comes here is just going to eat up all this hating we're doing. Even though most of it is pretty logical. That guy is a walking oxymoron.

  • he is a walking steriotype of a social group that rejects other social groups by doing the oposite, but at the same time, getting back to the basis wich is being acepted. i really thought that goths had some kind a reason behind the way they dressed, but apperently not

  • Wtf....They need to do a video for this...

  • how to not be urself......is this really wut ppl need to c...b urself!

  • u goth people will never get me!!! :o

    lol!

  • Dont be Gotha, it is going to kill you from the inside out. be happy.

  • how to be a goth:

    *Wear black, spikes, fishnets, dye ur hair dark or red, and wear heavy makeup (guys too).

    *Only think about death, being alone, and that nobody cares about you. And pain. And rock music.

    *Walk with your hands down your sides at all times in long strides :)

    LOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • Being Goth is apparently now about being super-cool on the internet. So how does having a common view make you an individual? There are some explanations:

    I'm pretty sure Goth is about being a horde of extremely brutal Barbarians from Eastern Europe,

    Or the period following the Black Death, when obsession with death and self-mutilation was in style..

    *Sigh,* When Goth was young =( ....

  • How to be goth by Expertvillage Fail...?

  • "Being an individual"

    Yet every goths mentality and style is the same. You're not being an individual, you're taking part of a trend.

  • lololololooolololololol

    loollololololoololoolol

    lololololololololollolol

    this vidyo is gnna get butchered

  • WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS STUPID LOL

  • Yes. We are all individuals.

  • Any1 else think this guy is gay? xP

    "Kinky and cool", like cmon! xD

  • jimmypagek26 speaks the truth.

  • Cyber goth scene opposed to the conventional goth scene. Haha man they need to grow up and become emo like everyone else

  • stupid goths
