Can I still be goth with blonde hair?

Well I'm a 13 year girl and I'm thinking about becoming gothic but I have Blonde hair and my mom will not let me dye it black so I wanted to know if there can be a Blonde headed goth?

I no sum goth people who are blonde so ya, iz ok 2 be a blonde goth.

yes you can. I know a couple of girls in my school who dress gothic but have blonde hair.

Yes it will make you more unique. Which is what you want anyway, yes?

goth is not all about hair color. its attitude,clothing,feelingsand much more I suggest start with the clothing and go from there eventually moms will cave to the hair it just takes waiting her out thats how it was for me G-luck

well goth or any 'style' isnt over night if that makes any sense.... its not just cloths or hair its personality and who you think you are. if you just want to be goth because you think its cool or something dont become goth because then thats sorta just wannabeish

of course,even pink hair with attitude is ok

yes you can be a goth with blond hair im goth and have blond hair it relly dosent matter as long as your depressed, and are full of hate.

ok im gettin kinda mad because first of all PEOPLE GOTH IS A RELIGION NOT A STYLE!! but yes you can be blonde and be goth most my friends dyed their hair blonde cause it looks better with all the darkness inside so it really looks good I think,not all goths are depressed and full of hate im sorry but if some of these people are true goths then they would know that!Goth is whats on the inside but some goths dress goth.. like me ..if your going to dress goth then you got to have clothes from hot topic.so go on their website and search up Tripp pants and combat boots and chokers and spiked bands and black lipstick and colored mascara and eye liner but to top it off you need fingerless gloves with chains and white face powder and a facial peircing or a couple ear peircings it would really look great!!

If you want you can dye it lighter like platnum thats what I do. im a bit goth myself and for a while I wanted to die my hair black ,but I realized it probobly wouldnt suit me im very fair skined not pail, but very fair so I might not be able to pull it off. a lot of blonds cant. If I were you id stick with blonde. It goes well with the black. and plus it will make you stand out more. you wont look like everyone else which is the main gole of goth. Oh and dont go around calling urself goth it will make you seem like a poser. Hope this helps.

Yeah sure, Goth is a music style not a color. Of course the true goth has black hair, its a good way to show people where you belong. Black hair is best to black clothings.
You can be a blond goth but every one may not think you as one.

Sure, you can be a blonde goth. Goth is a music style not a color. But black looks best to the black clothings and the make up

You are THINKING about becoming gothic? You cannot just BECOME gothic when you feel like it! You can't just cross over like that! From mainstream to goth. You either are gothic or you aren't. I think you are a silly little girl and you should research more about the real gothic culture before you start walking round wearing black and calling yourself gothic! HOWEVER..If you are going to start dressing gothic - Yes, you can still have blonde hair, being gothic is a lot more than what your hair looks like. Oh and pleease don't wear black lipstick. That is SO fake.

You can definitely be goth and blonde. Blonde is like black in some ways - both are striking because they at the extremes of the hair color spectrum. And hair color doesn't define 'goth-ness.'
I agree with the other posters, though, that you can't just decide to be 'goth' by dressing a certain way. But at 13 I also understand that you're probably trying to find who you are. If goth is appealing to you for some reason look around on the internet at some goth sites (ww.goth.net is a good starting place). And remember, goth isn't necessarily about being dark and depressed. It's about being a free-thinker, an individual, and challenging the status quo - seeing light in darkness, or beauty where some might not think to look for beauty. And remember, no group name or label will ever truly and completely define who you are.

yea you can.

of course you can, becoming goth doesnt meen you have you have to have black hair, black clothes, black make-up..you dont have to even call yourself a goth. people shouldnt label themselves. just be yourself and people should accept you for that!
good luck!

do you people have any idea how dumb you all sound? depressed and full of hate? good luck with that one, don't kids like you end up with your wrists slit in public bathrooms just because you think your problems are so much bigger than everyone elses?? You want advice girl, don't fit in, don't be an abercrombie kid, don't be a goth kid, there are all groups that make you dress or think a certain way in an effort to 'belong' or fit in as they call it. You can listen to any type of music you want, and be whoever you want to be without worrying about being part of a stereotype, I have some really good metal listening best friends, and if you crossed them in the street you would NEVER imagine they play death metal in their cars. Because they are real individuals, they don't care about looking like what they listen too, or being all emo, and depressed all the time. real depression is a disease caused by a chemical imbalance, and trust me people with real depression issues, would love not to be ill and to enjoy life to the fullest. So if you want to run around with the thick eyeliner 'The world Hates me' type crowd go ahead, but all your doing is setting yourself up for is playing with nightmare before xmas dolls and talking about how your life is so dreadful all day. But if on the other hand you just like the style and want to make it your own, you wouldnt even ask a question like that. If you want goth with blonde hair to look good you MAKE it look good! and stop asking yourself what everyone else thinks about it.

Mayday, I don't know if you'll come back and read this. But for you, and anyone that that post might have offended - very few of the responses in this thread sounded 'depressed and full of hate.' The poster didn't even express that viewpoint. She's 13 years old, probably still trying to figure out who she is. Most of the people in this thread pointed out that Goth isn't something you can just decide to be by wearing certain clothes and listening to certain music. Certain people think a certain way, and they're naturally going to gravitate towards others who think like them. Oftentimes a particular mindset comes with a style of dress one is comfortable in, or a sort of music one enjoys. I don't know about other subcultures or groups, but goths don't force anyone to dress a certain way to 'belong.' They're, for the most part, open minded free-thinking people who like a good conversation and appreciate anyone with a good head on their shoulders who can think for themselves. (Contrary to one or two posters here, goth is not about buying clothes from Hot Topic - in fact, a lot of goths hate Hot Topic). Goths don't sit around depressed all day, cutting themselves - by and large they are intelligent, driven people who make decent lives for themselves. The people in this thread do not sound dumb - they sound like people giving some advice to a young girl. Your post on the other hand, does sound angry and hateful.

aranaea, I wasn't referring to the majority of the posts as you pointed out, just those who decided to label goth as a clothing style or a mentality rather than what it really is, usually a love for a certain era or 'free-thinkers' that all though, through experience I have met both. those who accept others and those who do not. Although I was never a goth, or any other group cliche I suppose you could call it, I was merely trying to point out the fact that she doesn't need to seek approval from anyone to dress or be the person she wants to be. If she wants to be a 300 pound cheerleader, there is nothing wrong with that. And if she is so open minded and accepting, and in tune with people in the goth social circle, then she probably 'gravitated' towards them for being the same way, and shouldn't worry about wether or not her blonde hair would fit the 'standard'. my post was in no way hateful, and the parts you are reffering to were the ones I believed to be ignorant and mentioned how goths had to be depressed, which I find completely ridiculous, to say the least.Most of my closest friends were once goth, and my ex boyfriend. I really do understand that they dont sit around all day cutting themselves, and thats why I think that those who posted that were giving her some sketchy advice, if those were whom I was referring to, Maybe I should have cleared that up in the beginning but I'm sure that those who don't stereotype themselves, and didn't feel at all concerned were not in the least offended, as I would have not been. well my final point, because I never come back to threads, I had just left my comp on all day,is that instead of some of you all giving her advice on how to be, prove to her that the mentality you portray in being open-minded and confortable with yourself s way more important than dying your hair a specific color. Plus I had a blonde friend who dyed her hair black to be goth, and she totally regretted it later, because her blond roots were noticable so often. Hope it helped you, bye!

yeh sure you can.. if you want to look goth, I take it you want to be goth, and if you want to be goth you got to have the right attitude for it. just because your mam sez you cant dye your hair doesnt mean she has the last word. rebel. thats what I did when I wanted to get my bellybutton peirced. my dad said no but I did anyway. im not goth, but I thought it was a good point to make lol. anyway, if it still bothers you to dye your hair without permission.. get black clip-in extensions or something. that way you can put them in and out of your hair whenever you feel like it. x
