Goths in general are not apathetic (although some may be), in the simplest terms, they just do what they want. How else could we get away with all that stuff we wear/do/drink/etc?
If we were apathetic we wouldn't do anything. We would sit on our backsides all day thinking about doing something and then deciding it wasn't really worth it.
Goth - to me - symbolises the freedom to explore my darker side without fear of prejudiced reprisal.
That's why (I use the word loosely) 'normal' people are so damn sacred to sit next to us on the bus. Or it could just that they don't want to be lacerated by the spikes on my trousers...
