I visit Gothic.net very, very rarely, and post to this blog even less.

"What Is Goth?" by Wolfmoon

I'm glad I found this. I think it was originally in the FAQ before the most recent revamp, and I feel it deserves a reposting. =D

[i]1. What is goth?[/i]
A sub-culture based mainly around music. We are not suicidal, we are not depressed. We just don't like you.
[i]2. Am I Goth?[/i]
If you seriously have to ask this question, then no. Do a little research into the music, the fashion, the scene. If it clicks, then you might be onto something.
[I]3. Why do goths wear black?[/I]
It's the color of our souls, dearie. Or something. We just like black, okay?
[i]4. Are you into kinky stuff?[/I]
What would compell you to ask a question like that to someone you don't know? Not all of us are into bondage or S&M.
And, NO, just because we wear chokers, it does not mean we like to be choked! Keep your sickness to yourself, perv.
[I]5. Hallowe'en's over/not until October![/I]
Not, exactly a question, but we don't care. Hallowe'en is everyday. Re:Ministry ~ Everyday is Hallowe'en
[I]6. Do you do a lot of drugs?[/I]
Well, I can only speak for myself, but no. And I haven't met a helluva lot of people in the scene that are addicts. We go out, we party, we wake up to the consequences just like everybody else. Unless you don't sleep, in which case you're lying, poseur.
[I]7. Are you a freak?[/I]
No, a freak is someone who is okay with being a corporate drone, getting paid less than they're worth and has no idea what the hell is going on with te rest of the world.
[I]8. Who is Siouxsie/Peter Murphy/Andrew Eldritch/etc?[/I]
Good Gods! If you consider yourself part of the sub-culture and don't know who these people are, thou art a POSEUR!
If you haven't done your research, we're not going to let you cheat off of our paper! There are things like google, limewire and wikipedia for a reason. USE THEM!
[I]9. Are you snobs?[/I]
No, we simply refuse to associate(or be kind to) idiots. This is not to be confused with mentally disabled people. We all know(or have known), and love, at least one mentally challenged person. And no, your 'retard' jokes are not funny, you are an idiot.
[I]10. Am I in, yet?[/I]
You don't 'get in', you get educated! If you know what you're talking about and can carry on a decent conversation, you don't need to ask this question.
[I]11. Has anyone ever told you that you look just like that chick from NCIS?
[/I]
Fuck You
[I]12. Do you worship the devil?[/I]
Only on Mondays. The rest of the week's mine!
[I]13. How do you hide money from a Hippy?[/I]
Put in under the soap!
@->->->->->->->->->-
The only one I disagree with is #11, since NCIS is awesome and Abbey is one of the few Goths portrayed on TV who isn't ridiculously dramatic and/or psychotic.
