The hell it is. You notice how there's not a syle of music called "New Romantic', Cinka? That's what goths used to call themselves.... they dropped the name and changed it to goth when that's what somone labeled The Bauhaus' music. So there were obviously goths before there was gothic music, gothic fashion, and even the phrase "goth". The music was created BY THE PEOPLE, the people WERE NOT CREATED BY THE MUSIC. There has to be a person, an audience, an artist before there can be art.

Whatever the hell. I'm tempted to up and leave again...

Hi Mortalitas. I like you (^.^ still do ^.^), but I call myself a goth. If someone asks me, yeah I'm a goth. It's just stupid to scream it from the rooftops because it doesn't matter and no one cares.
