HORRORGIRL: I grew up in a working-class Black Protestant home. It was for a couple of years in the 1980s [1986-1988] did I live a middle-class lifestyle. As soon as my aunt & uncle palmed me off to my older cousin & lived with him in our first apartment, I was working-class again. I'm still there. And I don't regret it at all. Despite my apparent class, I still became a Goth. in the past 2 decades, the coolest Goths I've ever encountered/known were from the same class-background as me. So the stereotype of Goths [among my Punkrocker friends] being privileged rich or middle-class White kids in black clothes who are sad all the time is straight-up bollocks!
