DUDE!!!! I so wish I could get a pic with my friends like this!!! >_< dang…I have never thought of this, it's bloody brilliant! hahahaha ^_^ Thanks for sharing! this made my day
This picture is from a cover of a book I just read…
Santa and his 5 Goth Elves…”The story of the over-sized chair”
Chapter 3 is my favorite…It’s a must read
hi, i’de just like to say you should probably stop judging people. yes, i’m not denying the irony of this picture is funny. but i know one of the girls in this picture & she’s one of the sweetest people i have ever met. and she looks nothing like that anymore. people are people, some just like to express themselves differently. let them live their lives.
I don’t read anything really that judgmental. Just people offering their opinion and take on a picture submitted for the fun of it. I don’t doubt that all of the kids are awesome!
I can remember growing up not wanting to look like everyone else.. So I’d make the obvious changes; long hair,ripped jeans,baggy shirts. Weird thing is I look at those pictures and I look like just like everyone else. These kids are no different. Trying to look different by looking exactly like the crowd they hang with..
Having hung out with a similar type of crowd in my youth, I remember that it used to be a “cool” thing to go as a group and get your picture taken with Santa while dressed in your most outrageous club gear. I don’t know why, and I never participated myself (honestly!) but my fellow goths in the suburbs got really excited by the prospect. I guess it was originally supposed to be an anti-establishment act of some sort, but it quickly evolved into the goths’ very own Christmas tradition. The gloomy looks were an integral part of the experience btw. They really didn’t hate Santa or Christmas, but everyone was supposed to think they did.
1. Lets clear this up at the time, the man/woman looking guy on the left was around…20? I’d like to say. Everyone else is 15. PROBLEM NUMBER ONE.
2. No one forced them to take the picture, they’re a bunch of “rebel” little rich kids who think that its cool to dye their hair pink and black and shave their eyebrows and hangout at neshaminy malls on friday nights.
3. I know everyone in this picture personally and things haven’t really gotten much better.
It IS cool to dye your hair, shave your eyebrows and hang out at the mall. What would you have teenage kids do, run for mayor? How much better do you think it has to be? If they are happy then that the best it needs to be. Gotta love the “rebels”!! Question authority, I say!
Oh my God, this is so funny on so many levels. Irony is the best level. I can’t even find the words, it’s like looking at my own sense of humor personified! I love it. Favorite photo ever.
I LOVE this one, probably because I teach high school… teen age kids adopt all kinda guises and masks and poses, but when it comes to Santa, they all still kinda believe.
Kelly, I thought it was a good picture except for the boy who looked so unhappy.
I hope you all were having a good time. There isn’t anyone who posts a comment on these pictures that hasn’t had some pictures that could be made fun of, or appear weird to others. I know a lot of people don’t understand the Goth look (I’m over 50 and I would have loved to have dressed like that when I was that age). If you’re clean, honest, and have a good heart you’re all okay in my world.
I love the look. Love the goth kids and all the other genres kids identify with. I was a 70′s kid and dressed pretty normal (what ever that is) in boot cut jeans, platform shoes and boots and t shirts and polyester tops I was big into David Bowie. Got into disco when I was 18 but when The Sex Pistols hit in ’77 I was all in. I was a punk and still am. I know when you feel strong about a lifestyle it can influence your life. Give you others to seek out and identify with. Make you feel secure in knowing you belong. Nothing wrong with that. We all need to be accepted. My daughter is 30 and is a hippie/biker chick and a cool one, at that. My son is 21 and into bmx and skate boarding. It makes me so happy to know I’ve raised two young adults who accept others no matter their look or life style. Love this picture and the majority of the comments!
i’m just wondering how you people are recognizing that santa? weird. the picture is cool but no one is smiling so it kind of looks like a cd album or something for some terrible band.
Santa, all I want is a $50 gift certificate to Hot Topic, the entire “Twilight” series and a razor to cut myself afterwards! Oh and some hair dye would be nice,too. Cherry red #12
Um i kinda dress like these kids, but what you’re saying is down right offencive, I mean, no-one i know shops in hot-topic, i hate twilight and my hair is still it’s natural shade of brown with red hughlights, no-one asks for razor blades..but i think the jumper the boy is wearing is pretty rad maggot and all that
why are everyone’s comments so stupid and trying to get a “WIN” “WINNER!!!” or some stupid s*** that doesnt matter like that? i prefer to ACTUALLY comment the picture than trying to get compliments from strangers.
this picture is actually quite sweet. that santa looks a lot like the one i took a picture with once. really had the santa look going on. the kids look nice too, just because they have another style doesnt make em stupid or bad persons. also, is it just me or the girl on santas right (left on the picture) looks a FREAKING lot like bellatrix lestrange (elena bonham carter) ????
Thats Hellen Bonham Carter and the poor girl looks more like Wednesday Adams. I am a proffetional tarrot reader and the boy with the pink hair is NOT happy to be there. The only people truly enjoying the picture takin is us and the two girls on each side of santa (may he rest in peace) This site is made for ridacule whether you like it or not. Judging others is how all of us servive we make judgments based on first instincts and if you are asking us not to judge them how about your judgement of our coments GROW UP they posted the pic for us to laugh and believe me I am laughing outloud!
Angel
Angel sweetie, it’s Helena, tarot, professional, ridicule, survive, comments, out loud and Wednesday Addams. Just a little constructive criticism. When in doubt, there is always spell check. So you can avoid the negative criticism, Blessed Be.
To everyone saying rude things about this. As you can tell these people probably really don’t give a s*** about you judging them. That’s what you r doing! “Just face it”. Deep down in side they r like everyone of us even on the outside.”HUMAN” I would think twice before judging. Karma’s a b****. This picture is very artistic and moving in my eye’s. But again who am I to judge.
Oh lighten up, Kelly. I’m sorry your parents spilled the beans and told you there was no Santa at an early age. But that is not reason to take it out on those of us who still find humor in life’s small favors.
Dude…chill out! They’re on a website designed to blast awkward photos. There isn’t a single photo on this entire website where the people in it aren’t being made fun of.
oh. it just made me smile. then it made me think about how me and my friends were going to do that this year but they all went to the country so we couldnt and that made me sad.
I’ll try 2 spk in ur languaj, Kelly, bcuz english duz not seem to B ur native tongue. 1st of all, no, they’re not like everyone of us even on the outside. The rest of us don’t look that stupid. That’s not judging, that’s just offering an opinion.
U mentioned ur “eye’s.” The picture is artistic and moving in ur eye’s what? Ur eye’s cornea? Retina?
I am a “goth” and LOVE this picture. I have a similar one myself with the easter bunny. I don’t care if people laugh at it. If I can find it, I will post it. I enjoy the small things like that – cliche and awkward.
Kelly – I understand where you are coming from – TRUST ME – but at the same time getting defensive (especially with internet people) is ASKING to be ridiculed.
agreed! you gotta deal…if not enjoy…if not THOROUGHLY ENJOY (lol) taking pics like this if you choose to dress like a goth, right? (black goes with everything, I sure don’t mind)
Wow, Kelly. Have you scheduled the surgery to get that stick removed? I doubt a bunch of goth kids being photographed with Santa were taking themselves quite *that* seriously…
Kelly, I have nothing against “goth” people, but the picture is still funny! First of all, Christmas is usually associated with bright colors, red bows, snow, etc. NOT Slipknot, heavy black eye-makeup and all black clothing. Aaaaand, even if the people in this picture weren’t in black clothes, it would STILL be funny because not a SINGLE person is smiling!
You do know these kids did not do this to ask santa for presents right? They did this as a “joke”.I’m sure they all laughed before and after this picture was taken. Though they did it in the darkness of thier own dungeon..where no one could document it…
I really haven’t read anything “rude” in the comments. Just people having some fun on a site that is meant to be just that…FUN!! Lighten up and relax. No one, here, is judging and I don’t think anyone in the picture does care what people think so why should you? Just asking.
wow this was from 3 years ago wasn’t it. Back in you normal days Mike? …. lol …
RIP Santa, he died 2 years ago…. he always dressed in funny socks and weird printed shirts …. he was awesome …..
alotta the kids up at Nesh Mall get pic with santa, he was used to it …
***Any comments that are offensive to the point of being viciously personal, racist, homophobic, exceedingly profane, violent or too graphic in nature won't be posted. We want to keep this site a friendly place to be awkward. Thanks!***

DUDE!!!! I so wish I could get a pic with my friends like this!!! >_< dang…I have never thought of this, it's bloody brilliant! hahahaha ^_^ Thanks for sharing! this made my day
I want to use this as a Christmas card!
Even after Santa promised them lifetime Christmas presents after they agreed to give back his red coat and hat, they’re STILL unhappy!
This picture is from a cover of a book I just read…
Santa and his 5 Goth Elves…”The story of the over-sized chair”
Chapter 3 is my favorite…It’s a must read
despite the common assumptions about goths, most of the goths and former-goths i’ve known had really good senses of humor.
Definitely…most have better senses of humor than the average person just cause they aren’t afraid to be their own person outwardly
hi, i’de just like to say you should probably stop judging people. yes, i’m not denying the irony of this picture is funny. but i know one of the girls in this picture & she’s one of the sweetest people i have ever met. and she looks nothing like that anymore. people are people, some just like to express themselves differently. let them live their lives.

I love this picture. Do the kids get their pictures taken with the new Santa now?
i think i’ve found my cousins >.< awesome picture
I can remember growing up not wanting to look like everyone else.. So I’d make the obvious changes; long hair,ripped jeans,baggy shirts. Weird thing is I look at those pictures and I look like just like everyone else. These kids are no different. Trying to look different by looking exactly like the crowd they hang with..
Sucking up to Santa, trying to make the “Nice” list.

Ya’ll don’t know what’s up. In our head’s we are all the same.
The same as what?
They only believes in Santa.
CRACK ME UP,,,THIS MUST BE TIM BURTONS FAMILY CHRISTMAS PHOTO.”.NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS” IDEA!

heheh he’s wearing a slipknot jumper…i like slipknot
Wow, for a moment, I thought it was my daughter and her friends. She has the same slipknot sweatshirt AND the pink hair.
By the way, to all of you-
He was the best mall Santa ever and I think this picture proves it. May he RIP
He LOOKS like the best mall Santa ever. I didn’t even know him, but I’m sad he’s gone.
Oh my God, this is so funny on so many levels. Irony is the best level. I can’t even find the words, it’s like looking at my own sense of humor personified! I love it. Favorite photo ever.
I LOVE this one, probably because I teach high school… teen age kids adopt all kinda guises and masks and poses, but when it comes to Santa, they all still kinda believe.
so true.. I dressed like that on highschool.. in fact at 22.. im slowly getting covered in tattoos.. but I still kinda believe…
why so serious?
That is the coolest looking santa ever. Very sorry to hear he passed
For the group in that pic, that’s gotta be an awesome memory and something to show the grandkiddies.
Hope they didnt all ask for razor blades!!!
I think this is actually very cute.
Kelly, I thought it was a good picture except for the boy who looked so unhappy.
I hope you all were having a good time. There isn’t anyone who posts a comment on these pictures that hasn’t had some pictures that could be made fun of, or appear weird to others.

I wish my mom were more like you, Nancy!! lol!!!

Unlike many posts on the internet, this was fun to read and gave me some valuable input. I will have to put a backlink on my website. Regards. J
I did this when I was an angsty goth kid back in high school, except we posed with the Easter Bunny lol
HAHAHA I legitimately know every single one of these kids.
i’m just wondering how you people are recognizing that santa? weird. the picture is cool but no one is smiling so it kind of looks like a cd album or something for some terrible band.
WOW! Ho F@#$ Ho! I don’t think they’ll be including celebration of the birth of Christ in their holiday plans.
Most awesome Santa Picture EVER!
See, Santa is NOT judgmental after all (for all you naughty boys and girls)!!!
I immediately knew this was the Neshaminy Mall Santa….he died??
Santa, all I want is a $50 gift certificate to Hot Topic, the entire “Twilight” series and a razor to cut myself afterwards! Oh and some hair dye would be nice,too. Cherry red #12
HAHAHAHAHA!
Awesome comment!!!
Lmao off! this is hilarious.. And this is from a girl who dressed similar in highschool..
Um i kinda dress like these kids, but what you’re saying is down right offencive, I mean, no-one i know shops in hot-topic, i hate twilight and my hair is still it’s natural shade of brown with red hughlights, no-one asks for razor blades..but i think the jumper the boy is wearing is pretty rad maggot and all that

WINNER!!!
Stay tuned to see what you’ve WON!!
Congratulations on your win Haley, you are both pretty and smart!
LOL!

“I am a proffetional tarrot reader and the boy with the pink hair is NOT happy to be there.”
LMAO, Science!
…and it’s tarot. professional.
Yes, it took a tarot reader to figure out the boy with pink hair wasn’t happy to be there….I had no clue!
Apparently you are not to good of a reader cause the person behind the one with pink hair is not a girl.
“Helena.”
Angel sweetie, it’s Helena, tarot, professional, ridicule, survive, comments, out loud and Wednesday Addams. Just a little constructive criticism. When in doubt, there is always spell check. So you can avoid the negative criticism, Blessed Be.
The one on the left in the picture is a guy, his names tristian…hahahahhahah
I don’t think any of these elves will be Dentists.
That’s great!
Don’t be so sure, haven’t you ever seen “Little Shop of Horrors”…..?
Guy with the pink hair “Ya Christmas sucks”
Santa loves all the special people

i agree andersen, i think its a great pic too kelly. but they or someone did put it on here. they want someone to laugh or say something.
Is that where goths come from? People telling their kids at an early age that Santa doesn’t exist? Interesting.
Okay Kelly which one are you in the photo? You’re the one with the pink hair aren’t you.
Dude…chill out! They’re on a website designed to blast awkward photos. There isn’t a single photo on this entire website where the people in it aren’t being made fun of.

oh i so loved this pic and it really made me laugh. i love them being themselves and santa sitting quietly through it.
…..and Santa did finally visit the land of the misfit toys.
Hilarious, I loved that movie.
Wow, Kelly. Have you scheduled the surgery to get that stick removed? I doubt a bunch of goth kids being photographed with Santa were taking themselves quite *that* seriously…

Artistic and moving??? Are you confused about what this website is all about???
You do know these kids did not do this to ask santa for presents right? They did this as a “joke”.I’m sure they all laughed before and after this picture was taken. Though they did it in the darkness of thier own dungeon..where no one could document it…
I really haven’t read anything “rude” in the comments. Just people having some fun on a site that is meant to be just that…FUN!! Lighten up and relax. No one, here, is judging and I don’t think anyone in the picture does care what people think so why should you? Just asking.
wow this was from 3 years ago wasn’t it. Back in you normal days Mike? …. lol …
RIP Santa, he died 2 years ago…. he always dressed in funny socks and weird printed shirts …. he was awesome …..
alotta the kids up at Nesh Mall get pic with santa, he was used to it …
My little girl got her first santa pic with him! Didn’t realize he was so bad ass too.
Oh, I loved this Santa. All 3 of my girls have their first Christmas pix with him. He was so sweet and I am sad to hear he passed on.
