I hate it how if you wear black at all people call you goth or emo. I mean I like wearing black t-shirts cause black is slimming! And my favourite shoes have skulls and crossbones on them. But I get "You look so goth" or "Are you emo?" thrown at me a lot.

But thats all they see. The don't care to see how my hair has blonde in it, or that I wear bright eyeshadow and very little (and sometimes no) eyeliner, and that I wear light blue jeans almost all the time.

I think people just like to judge.

Does this annoy anyone else?

Black is supposed to be more... sophisticated but I guess it depends on how the clothes are styled.

I wear all black sometimes, but I'm far from emo. Maybe you're style fits that of emo? lol

I wear my skinny jeans and converses or vans, and i constantly get are you a mosher? are you scene. etc.
it's really annoying, i wish people would quit labeling and let people be themself.

If you ALWAYS wear black, then you have deep goth desires.

Everyone wears black, hell I have a black shirt and tie on right now, and that doesn't make me goth.

It's probably more your shoes than your top.
