Heard of a goth before? A goth is just someone who sees beauty in things that other people might find dark.

They adore everything eerie and strange. That doesn't make goths bad; it only indicates that they view the world differently than most people.

It also doesn't imply that goths are cruel, violent, or lacking in humor; rather, the contrary is true. Goths enjoy a good chuckle, although their humor tends to be more darkly humorous.

Dark things make people joyful and inspire them, not because they are sad but because they enjoy them. Goths are often intellectual, sentimental, and realistic.

Being a Goth is not about one's appearance. There is no set color scheme for gothic attire, and black is by no means the only color used by goths.

The heart of a pastel goth is just as dark as the heart of an all-black goth. Additionally, not all goths have the same musical tastes.

There are many different styles of gothic music, including goth pop, goth folk, and neo-classical. Also, they are not cult members and do not worship Satan.

The OP made all these things clear to an older woman who came up to her and started asking why she needed to make her house so "witchey" and dark. Read the full story for yourself below.

The headline

When the OP uses color in her personal life, it tends to be very dark shades

Neighbor said the OP ruined the look of the whole neighborhood and it was going to bring down property values

This Redditor would live close to a witch house

OP's house lovely to this redditor

From a redditor and it says:

NTA She was wrong to criticize your paint choices. Nothing is worse than having a bland house and yard that doesn’t make you as the homeowner happy. Congratulations on your new home!

She should mind her business

The OP should do her cos haters will hate

Paint color does not bring down value

It'll be a fun bonding experience

It's the her house and she can do her

Neighbor is doing a test weight throw

Live your best corporate goth life

There are goths everywhere, and they are of many various racial and ethnic backgrounds. Like any group, each member's interests and activities are unique.

Goths all have the trait of finding beauty in what other people would regard as dark, and the OP is kin of a corporate goth. Redditors considered all these, and she was declared not the AH.
