Why Darkness?

[Stark Evade]

Have you noticed people's attraction to darkness?

Goths dress in black. Why black? Why is black cooler? People love the feeling of film noir. Why? Clubs are dark because dark is cooler, but why? People are attracted to those stylized films like Blade, The Crow, Batman, The Matrix... Moody? What is "moody" and why is it good? There's a feeling of comfort people get with darkness, especially in films or paintings or photographs or public atmospheres like cafes that I can't really explain. Does it begin with a fear and become comforting when that fear is controlled? What do you think?

I think we all have a subconscious feeling to be black.

Part of darkness is danger and a lot people feel that adrenaline rush when it comes to danger. I think this is one of the ways of looking at it.

I think when you're in the darkness it provides a sense of anonymity, like it's dark you can't be seen or recognized. So maybe it is about fear or anxiety.

I just think people like the "dark" because you can hide more about your self in the dark or by wearing black. People who often wear black are hiding their true selves for fear of being rejected. As far as dark clubs, I think the darkness holds mystery and intrigue because you really don't know WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE UNTIL YOU'RE SOBER!!!! lol

Just like when women say black makes you look thinner...it really doesn't. We have been fed so much CRAP about being thin, or if not, always trying to "look" thin. This sickens me when a woman refuses to wear colorful clothing because she thinks she looks fat. WHAT THE HELL? It's a color or shall I say, all colors mixed together. A 200 lb. lady is not going to look like a size 2 by wearing a black skirt! It's all the bullshiit we are fed in order to conform to a bullshiit society with no real people and no real colors.

Many people believe that color is relative. Meaning, if I see red, are you seeing the same red that I see? BOGGLES THE MIND! DAMN that painting class.


BACK TO BLACK! Why do you think people usually make love in the dark? Some say it's because the people involved have issues about their physical appearances. However, some say it's more "romantic"...I say the truth is probably closer to the first theory. LOL

^^ Yea, that's definitely true. For example, if someone has alot of acne, to the point where they have alligator skin, darkness is an essential, to hide the coarseness.
