Closed Threads

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Hey Jilli...I was talking to my friend last night and asked me if "emo" meant anything to me and I laughed and said, "yeah". Then she asked if "cutter" meant anything. I said, "Well, the peolpe that cut themselves to feel pain etc etc etc." and she said no that it was a goth thing. I'd never heard of it. Have you? Can you shed light?

Oh for the love of Bela Lugosi, no, cutting is not a Goth thing. Or an emo thing.

(I'm not exasperated with you, Aims. Please don't think that.)

Cutting is pretty much what you said it was; people who do it usually do it so they can feel in control of expressing their emotions. Many people assume cutting is a Goth or emo thing, but it isn't. If someone is cutting themselves, it's not because they're part of a black-clad subculture, it's because they've got some issues they need to deal with.

(Woooh, rantycakes button!)

brillig

so she knew what that term "cutter" meant and said it was different

Maybe she's channelling librarian training and remembering that the Cutter is the part of the call number that comes after the main categorization number.

Or not.

Maybe, but she's psychologist so she knew what that term "cutter" meant and said it was different.

rolls eyes forever

She may be a psychologist, but that doesn't mean she's well-informed.

Not to be a pain in the ass, but could you call Ms.Marcum and ask her to elucidate? I would. (Maybe I am a PITA.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Then Sean might be right that she misunderstood something. She was pretty adamant that is wasn't the self-injury thing.

So how 'bout them perky-goths? They're pretty awesome!

No, I get that. It was a term her son used and she was just asking me about it.

I'm trying to find the paper/lecture that this quote is from to get some context but I'm not coming up with anything.

Well, if she knew what it wasn't, did she have the slightest clue what she thought it was?
