(mmmmmmmmmm i do wear black a lot, wear TONS of eyemakeup with exaggerated liner AND i'm partial to capes. mmmmmmmmmmmmm)
I have seen the future - and it's goth We mocked their make-up and giggled over their gloom. But the goths are taking over the country. Dave Simpson reports Tuesday March 21, 2006The Guardian
It's every parent's nightmare. Their apparently well-adjusted child suddenly comes home with hair the colour of a coalface, a face whiter than anything made by Dulux, and announces, "Mummy, I'm a goth." However, according to a new study, parents of goths will probably end up boasting about their son/daughter the doctor, lawyer or bank manager....
....It could be tough, but being a goth can open up a world where art, current affairs and literature are embraced and openly discussed, perhaps paving the way for future networking. Unsworth remembers debates about "current affairs, Oscar Wilde, decadence, hairspray ..." "There was a lot of Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoker," remembers Porter. "It was better than the Sun." For Hosein, it was Quentin Crisp and "The Day of the Triffids. Anything involving horror and death."...........

I absolutely agree with that. The more intellectual goths tend to be very well-read, know a lot about art, tend to be artists, writers or poets themselves. They just dress a little, uh, funny. I always think that if I were born later, I would have gotten into goth culture. I saw inklings of it in high school and college, but it really didn't bloom (if that's the right word) until a bit later.
i don't really fit in with ANY style. i just sort of am my own person. as an example IF i wear a dress i almost ALWAYS wear pants under it. IF i wear a suit for some bid-nez type thing you can rest assured i'll have a pair of doc martens on too. i feel naked without my jewelry (i wear TONS) and eyemakeup (i wear TONS of that too)
Certainly. Anything involving 'horror and death' is nothing but good practical preparation for the real world.
my daughter 12 was a goth princess for Halloween 2 years ago. My 10yo was a goth type person this past Halloween. I don't care what my children choose to be (do) when they are growing up as long as they stay clean, learn and are accepting of other people and always willing to learn and listen....
Again, the false success standard of lawyer-, doctor-, and bank managerdom~,:^0
Goth for Goth's sake!!!
i personally never let death OR depression take over my life dearest mr shakespeare. i don't think a teen has to be goth to think of those things though. they are far more sensitive than most perceive they are
oh booted one, i think someday we MUST meet for a beverage (or two)
