However, I do not hide my "inner goth" just because I donīt want people to look at me strange, my wardrobe is all black and I have my share of piercings and rings. Not that these things make me a goth but I hope you understand what I mean.
P.S. I donīt want a pony, I want a bat. Well not really, with my luck sheīd just shit all over the place. |
First Point: When I was starting to learn more about the Goth thing, I found two sources of immeasurable help: "Gothic Charm School" by Ms. Jillian Venters, and "What is Goth?" by Voltaire. Both are Elder Goths (meaning they are grown adults and have been Goth since their teens), and both are *incredibly* inspiring! Jillian has a website of the same name, and Voltaire has...well, he just has everything! lol
Second Point: If you'd want a bat, and you wear all black and were wearing, say, bat- or skull-inspired accouterments, I'd *definitely* think of you as Goth.
