Goths have been protesting against discrimination in China. As a group, they have often faced prejudice, so why has their subculture survived while so many others have vanished?

The global goth community has banded together after a woman was told to remove her dramatic makeup before boarding the subway in Guangzhou, China, apparently for fear of distressing other passengers. The response? Thousands of goths posted photos on the Chinese social media site Weibo of themselves with wild hair and blacked-out eyes in protest – and it soon spread to Twitter.

We all go through different and often strange phases in life in our search for meaning or love in life. Obsession is often part of the package, going to extremes, until we find a balance or something/somebody new.

Goth look - Victorian era clothes and lots of black. Conventional look - 3 layers of orange tan, dodgy hair extensions, bad shoes, tight blazers, wiry beards and mini sparkly dresses in the middle of winter. I find one far more scarier and shocking than the other.

Why insult them with headlines that treat them differently from anyone else? They are who they want to be and it's no-one else's business to 'diversify' them....

What is so shocking, seems that they are disappointed that people accept them for who they are

China is generally opposed against self-expression as it disrupts the assimilated collective they're trying to turn their society into.

Transgender is the new goth. Change my mind.

itsgood for the heart

Nothing shocking about goths.

Is that what Goths think they are doing?

When’s the last time anyone was shocked by the goth kids? Like 2005?

It’s almost certainly not time to panic | Oliver BurkemanWhy it isn’t useful to fuel the arms race of exaggeration The top 5 out of 6 stories on my googlenews feed are from Guardian despite The Guardian having the smallest circulation among the British People for National Newspapers The Guardian is Britain's Pravda and Google News is our Supreme Soviet Dont panic! One way politicians have failed us recently is the descent into scaremongering over Brexit. Food and medicine shortages and financial chaos have been threatened by those who claim to care for society’s most vulnerable. No public servant with any integrity would promote fear.
