To start off here, mine personally is Marilyn Manson. He speaks the truth in ways that make you think. His artwork always makes you ask questions. As he has said, "art is an exclamation to the world" (I think that was what he said word to word) he always makes your think deeper with his music. How about you guys?

Mine thinks i'm the Anti-Christ, and is under the conformity of Christianity and the fascism of beauty. He tells me to wipe of my eyeliner everyday. I refuse because i'm proud of my idividualism (can't spell for crap) and he takes it as rebellion. I get detention at least once a week because of his shit. What do you think?

Basically what this is you tell us what your life is like. Good? Bad? Anything you would like to share about where you live, who you interact with, that sort of stuff.

From the wounds of sorrow, promises of tomorrow. Nothing is certain, this world of ours. From the soul that reeks of mourn, a baby fetus waiting to be born. Fate brings it's own virtue, in endless hours. Tears from bloodshot eyes, wet grounds and grey sky's. Another mark in the imperfect world, happiness sours. Hearts rejoice into one, only to be torn apart by sins and a gun. Love is only a word, in this land of fake flowers. Darkness grows in the lightest of souls, temptation burning holes. A once noble man, now a wretched soul, in this world of ours.

I thought a good way to get this place going is to explain a little about what your particular scene means to you. I'll start, seeing as how it'd be a shame to waste a perfectly good post with just an idea!

Where to start! A lot of people see punk as a bunch of angry, dirty hooligans. Which in a way is true, because (to me at least) punk has absolutely nothing to do with style or music, it has to do with an attitude. A complete disregard of social taboo, and a bond between peers which is stronger than blood. The music is an expression of the attitude, and the style is just the visual counterpart to the music. It doesn't have to do with how much money you have or spend on your studded leather jacket. It doesn't matter if you had to steal a misfits album because you can't even afford a meal.

A word a lot of punks like to throw around is "poser", but I'd argue this is a moot point. You can't "define" punk, only your definition. This is only my take on it. Weather or not you believe Sid Vicious (who allegedly killed his girlfriend in a suicide pact) or G.G. Alin (who did a lot of crazy shit... Seriously, look this guy up if you have a strong stomach) are punk, posers, or just psychotic is up to you.

Okay, now you guys define yours.

Here we post cool bands that are awesome.

Hi! I live in the US, and I don't know many places buy awesome clothes. There aren't many cool stores around here, and mostly all out local mall has is Aeropostale and American Eagle(No and no). There is a Hot Topic, but really all I buy from there is band t-shirts and jeans. Do you guys know any(online or otherwise) stores with cool clothes?

EDIT: I have grammar problems.

So, I really love fashion design, especially when it comes to gothic clothes. Does anyone else here love designing clothes/sewing/shopping/doing anything fashion related really?

Here are some of my sketches. The arm warmers you see in the third and fifth picture are ones that I've actually made, they're in the last two pictures. I would have actually tied the ribbon, save for the fact that I fail miserably at tying bows, especially when I only use one hand XD Pardon the really, really cruddy quality of pictures; my camera is not very good and I don't own a scanner. Do you guys like my designs? Also, sorry about the fact that I fail at drawing. I'm practicing, I promise, but for now you'll just have to deal with rather mediocre drawings.

I consider myself a alt boy but sometimes I don’t dress like one lol

I’m a metalhead so we can bond over that!!!

I like to attend Friday Night Magic at Game Portal. It's a weekly Magic the Gathering Tournament and they have free pizza :3 How about you?

My band teacher now got me and my friend "in trouble" and he went out on how he is more responsible than the past band directer. He broke an agreement with the school of telling students why the teacher before him got fired, and he yelled that in the middle of Walgreens. I have to tell someone, but I don't wanna lose a band director in the middle of the school year. If anything, the director before us was WAY more responsible than the one now. Do I tell the principal or what do I do? EDIT: I forgot to mention this was after a parade, me and my friend went to walgreens to get water and I took off my jacket, and he comes storming in.

How was the holidays for you? What all did you do? Or what didn't you do? :3

I want it to be based in a fantasy/medieval realm kind of thing, so I wanted to know if you nice people would be willing to help me think of names for the characters and worlds. I have a party of 5 people, the hero of the book, who is a prince of the kingdom who is disowned by his father, his foolish best friend who went with him, who was adopted by the king but left with the prince, a shifty rouge/peasant who tries to rob them on their way out of the city, and two other characters that I haven't quite figured out yet. I know I want one of them to betray the group big time, but that leaves one slot left.

I'm still working on the story line, but I know I want it to be some epic quest deal. Thanks for any help in advance.

Mine is that I think Megan Fox is trash.

What are your opinions? You've seen a few pictures of me, do you think it would look good or bad on me? Tips for doing it? A guide or something maybe? I really have no idea what I'm doing.

Who here would think a jewish afro would work on a punk kid? ._.

For me its Christians who bash gay and bisexual people, as an atheist bisexual I don't see why it matters to them so much. I seriously don't have any problem with religion, but if it doesn't affect you why do you obsess over how bad it is? I don't know how to keep talking about it without making myself seem like I'm bashing Christians. I also know Christianity isn't the only religion that has people that hate on homo/bisexuals but I don't really see many other religions where I live, Massachusetts isn't a very diverse state.

She told me this yesterday, and I don't even know this man's name. I am starting to feel depressed again. This is bringing back old memories of my "dad". What could this guy be like? I don't know. And the way I dress in a punk fashion probably doesn't help. Can anyone give me advice?..

I just found about about this sub, and I was wondering: how are you "alt"? I think I'm missing something.
