ARE ALL GOTHS WEIRD?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

As probably most of the people on here, I'm far beyond that age where you need to dress like your peer group in order to express your individuality.

Btw, what is considered a "goth dress"? Is it just the crushed velvet + pointed boots with buckles stuff or is black jeans + black t-shirt already enough?

Never can quite understand the reason why Von dislikes Goffs?

Is it right that TSOM refused to play at WGF on the understanding that it's full of Goffs?

I think :von: seems to think the Goth thing is a bit laughable to be honest.

And yes, I believe he has turned down a very large offer to play Whitby.

Two quite simple reasons, same reason as I'd be mightily uncomfortable calling myself one, even if I have absolutely no intention of throwing away my crimpers and jangly bangles for the forseeable future.

1)To call yourself "a" such-and-such is deeply lame, IMO. I have far more respect for people who identify as themselves rather than a member of a group that someone else dreamt up.

I think most genuinely creative and intelligent people have the same fear of labels and pigeonholing, which explains the reluctance of the majority of alleged "goth" bands (the decent ones anyway) to identify as such.

This has probably backfired in a way, leading to the ridiculous situation of "all REAL goffs deny that they are", and the word being hijacked by the kind of idiots who are far more comfortable with using it (yer Marylin Manson kids and the like).

2)Observe the horrors that can befall someone who does not process the Goffick aesthetic (as they percieve it anyway - ie. a lot of black things and minimum class) through the filter of THEIR BRAIN first...

thats because you're under estimating just how small minded and
judgemental people can be.

anyway, ask yourself : what's a Goth? what's a weird ?
do you think these people have a clear idea?

I dont know anymore what makes you a goth or not anymore :oops: But I am me and myself. I do wear alot of black and listen to goth music, told a guy at work so, so he calls me a goth. It seems like he was looking at a freak show the other day :roll: I had on normal clothes, they were only black, and my normal shoes, nothing fancy. And he was "You wear alot of black huh? Come on you can even see it on her shoes" Good lord. If a hardcore goth was there they would laugh them selves silly. AND he said "I didnt think goths got engaged" :eek: Have I missed something?
