Pink

Hate it or love it? (Warning: pink lovers will be banned instantly!)

Should pink be allowed when dressing as a Goth?

Pink is, by far, the one colour most people have issues with, I think. I certainly do. It's like Marmite, only I like that, but I hate pink.

I definitely dislike seeing "Goths" proudly sporting Pink striped tights or ties or belts or anything pink when they call themselves a Goth.

That said, a Goth is meant to dress how they want to without conforming, so I guess that means colours other than black. But I really don't like it....

Also, I dislike the idea that pink is a girls colour.

Anyway, what's your opinions on this colour and the questions I've asked please? Whatever they are...

Personally, I detest pink...I hate it as a colour due it's sickly hue, and not it's apparently 'feminine' properties.

I think it's a post/current Emo trend to wear pink with black - true Goths avoid it like the plague...

For me I just hate we're all being put into a colour group because of our gender. Boys are blue, girls are pink...who in hell came up with that?! I mean really?? For as long as we're put into these groups, sexism, both towards men and women, will continue, I think.

Like Me!!!! Even if I find an item of clothing I really like but it has pink in it, even if it's the smallest amount, I won't wear it. I just can't bear the thought of people looking at me wearing pink and say; "it's fine cos' she's a girl"...

I remember punching the Tv once when I first saw the song Aerosmith did. I couldn't believe it! I mean, like the colour by all means, but give those who hate it the chance to live in blissful ignorance of the colour.

Not my favourite Aerosmith song I'll give you that. I don't wear pink and don't like it espically but I don't hate it...

More a red man myself.

Grr, I forgot about Aerosmith's 'Pink'...grr and double-grr...

Ick. I've never been a fan of pink. Now, I don't mind seeing it in small quantities and not "hot pink," but I definitely prefer most other colors.

What I always hated when I was little was wandering around the toy section of the store and coming across the "girl's" aisle.... how did they fit so much hot pink in one place?!? Why?!!?!

Pink makes a girl look real sexy and yet dirty - put a lass in a nurse uniform and meh but squeeze her into a simple skin tight pink nightie and now were talking. Its just so damned feminine and that is great in my opinion...on men it looks a complete disgrace to the gender of man and is usually some statement by a gay that they can "try" and be feminine and pull off the look too = which they never do
