Is Goth Just a Phase?

I would genuinely like to find out.
For those who are interested, I have been involved in the Goth scene in Australia for about 25+ years :eek: so I figured it must mean something to me and I wanted to know if it meant anything to anyone else.

....so...I am doing a research project towards my PhD.

If you are a Goth, have been in the Goth scene or have an affiliation with the subculture I would love to hear from you!

http://isgothjustaphase.com/ - Why not take the survey!!!

What better way to celebrate World Goth Day
There are a coulple of survey choices including a quick one if preferred...

Thank you to anyone who shows an interest!
Cheers,
Emma.
PS I hope I haven't disgraced myself too much and get banned....

done, not a goth

might you get value asking which of these bands do consider goth and listing a few then and now - obvious velvet/classic (Bauhaus) and modern emo (??) and steam punk and s**t like that

I dunno, back to sleep PIB

Wow! Thank you all so much!!
I will report back how it all goes, if folks are interested.

....and there MAY be a couple of short follow up surveys - such as one on music ;) - but we'll see how we go!

FYI I had estimated (and told my uni) that I would get about a hundred or so responses - well over that already and it has only been up for a day (albeit World Goth Day!), woo hoo!
So thank you all again for "getting your Goth on".
Emma.

I've done the quiz. If Goth is a phase, it's one that's lasted me nearly 30 years...
