Teen Gothic

I was watching Urban Legend and the goth character is portrayed as someone who is manic depressive and promiscuous. After watching this movie, I started thinking about other goth characters in movies and tv shows and how they are viewed and seen as “crazy” or “mentally unstable”. You see Nancy Downes in The Craft literally go insane with power and ends up in a mental institution by the end of the movie, you have various movies and tv shows with goth or alternative characters where they are seen on social rejects who are prone to insanity. The only accurate portrayals of goths I have seen in media is South Park’s Goth Kids, and Abbey from NCIS. It’s just a thought I had while watching these types of movies where people assume that a goth or alternative person is “crazy” whenever it comes to media. What do you guys think about this?
