Wow, I must be ever so goth. I am the antithesis of the stereotype.
I don't wear black often, do drugs, drink, wear make-up, have piercings or tatoos, I listen to lots of different music, I'm not fixated on death and I do not like to laugh at others misfortunes (unless it is a result of their own stupidity).
I do most of the 'real' goth things, except wonder why people watch TV. I know that, it's because it's entertaining and a nice way to unwind.

Please, extreme intellectualism? I find their intellectual saavy to be dedicated to one branch of things, things that tend to be self-righteous. Like writing about their feelings, and other esoterical nonsensical rubbish.

*bump* I answered "yes" to 15 of those 17 questions. And I don't usually dress like a goth. So I guess my gothic friends are right--I am one at heart.

When you use read the other thread, the word "read" is interpreted loosely. More like having your eyes assaulted and vinegared.

Nice, but there is more to poetry than just rhyming, and please post it in the "Reincarnation..."

Does anyone else have problems loading anything from blood-dance.net? It won't load for me, and hasn't loaded for a couple days, since I started trying to get back on it. It makes me worried :S

Given the recent upspring of threads about goth, I decided to bump this.
So, bump.

Of course, you would be readily accepted and most welcome amongst Goths for your strength of individuality and ability to appreciate the culture in general and themselves in particular.[/list] - You feel the need to spend a lot of time creating things (music, art, poetry, philosophies, stories and the like)
- Your creative efforts are often described as dark, shocking, scary, morbid or strange
- You like museums and cultural centers
- You understand and even enjoy Shakespeare, Shelley, Browning or some other similar work without having to read the Cliffe Notes
- You know the difference between nihilism and existentialism, even if you don't really live by either
- You really, truly enjoy music of many kinds
- You are a very sensual person (aware of color, texture, sound, taste and scent)
- You don't understand why the people around you spend so much time watching TV
- You don't feel comfortable looking just like everyone else you know
- You do feel comfortable just being yourself, even if no one else around is anything like you
- You wonder "why" a lot, and come up with some interesting answers
- You wonder "how" a lot, and often figure it out on your own
- You don't just reject something because you don't understand it
- You base your opinions of people on who they are and what they do rather than what they look like
- You are not afraid of the unknown
- You are not afraid of the dark
- You are afraid of mediocrity

Oh wow that is me. I am a VERY curious person, have been writting stories/poems/drawing ever since i can remember, and do have a certain degree of intelligence. I can be a pretty philosophical person as well, but thats how i've been like even as a kid.
Wow about 15 out of the 17 points describes me. LOL.

"Goth is a subculture based on a musical style.
I can also see how a lot of people might get this impression. A lot of otherwise decent sources of information on Goth and its more recent history offer this myth up to us as fact. It may even very well be part of the truth for some Gothic orgins in some parts of the world, but it is predated by the emergence of Goth as culture rather than Goth as musical genre in America (at the very least). The media (read record labels and associated musical rags) started this, and I find it disgusting that so many people feel the need to perpetuate this myth that the musical genre started Goth as opposed to Goth starting the genre.
Many sources including the Usenet's alt.gothic group even go so far as to say that the actual cultural origins of Goth were a later fable added after the supposedly music-based trend happened.
This is absolutely false. Before there was a so-called Goth sound, we had dropped the title of New Romantics and firmly settled on calling ourselves Gothic. The culture pre-dates the musical genre by a good two years. I should know. I was there. Honest. "
Does this wise 'net user speak the truth?
Having read it's shaken the very core beliefs I've had about Goth and where it came from...
...My God! I need to wash my mouth out with soap and apologise to some people!

Goth is a skinny man with very large black hair and tight vinyl pants tucked into 12-buckle boots sitting on a throne ornamented with gargoyles in a deep, dark cave preaching to a group of 13-year-old Mansonites about the good old days and how nothing is worth listening to since Bauhaus broke up. After uttering something profound, he keels over dead, taking out three of the Mansonites in the process, but leaving his makeup flawless.
