Middle class American kids??

And what does a middle class American kid look like? I'm only asking as a chick who was raised middle class in America. I would love to know.

The ghetto look is just as ugly as the Gothic thing. UGH!

I agree with you.

The "Gothic thing" is creepy. A morbid fascination with sadomasochism, suicide, vampirism, androgyny, and necrophilia does not strike me as a healthy approach to life.

Whenever I encounter young persons who have adopted either the ghetto look or the Gothic "philosophy," I assume that they have serious problems until proven otherwise.
