Why do i get these labels? Im a 15yr old girl and i don't think i am goth or emo, i have long curly black hair with pink and purple tips and i side fringe that goes across my face. The clothes i normally wear are dresses, skirts, jackets and stockings, most of my clothes are black but that doesn't make me goth does it? My makeup i wear is mostly on my eyes but i don't use much, only foundation, eye shadow, mascara, eye liner and lip balm. So my question is why do people call me a goth or emo when i do not think i am these things. Any help would be appreciated. ThanksWhy do i get these labels?

People will find a label for anything. And the human brain naturally categorises people, books, films in to 'genres' to make it easier for it to understand, it doesn't mean that you're actually one of those groups (if you don't consider yourself to be). People don't think about what you consider yourself, only what they consider you.

Honestly you sound gorgeous ! But the people that you're talking about sound really small minded if they are going to put a label on you for wearing darker clothes. I think you should ignore them as best as you can. And just be yourself ... Don't change because of immature people
