I've been born and raised in Colorado.

3. Who is your favorite author
Thats a hard one...I like Bram Stoker and Stephenie Meyer (yes I read the Twilight series)

Well...I like the classics like Dracula and the Wolf Man and I like all the versions of Phantom of the Opera.

5. What music do you want to play at your wedding?
I dont really know...I guess I'll leave that to my fiancee. Lol

Good luck.

[Childe_Roland]

Hullo, and welcome. I'm new here, too, but it seems nice enough...so long as you can survive the occasional onslaught. Not really different than any other human interaction, I suppose.

Actually you aren't.
Not that that's any problem; of course anyone can be here even if they're not goth.
But you'll learn later why none of these things are goth and why it doesn't matter anyway. Just remember, you're not goth, but if that offends you, you're taking it too seriously.

[KontanKarite]

Oh wow.....

You're just misunderstood. Welcome to the boards. You're NOT goth. Seriously. But that's just fine.

If, however, you want to learn about goth rock and such, you've kinda came to the right place.

So.... you like MCR?

Try The Misfits, 45 Grave, Fields of The Nephahlim. Same kind of aggression, but BETTER and not complete commercial teenie bopper tools.

Actually, I recommend SEVERAL things.

Let me link you to some SUGGESTIONS. Not in a sense of being goth, mind you, but being yourself. I am simply going to share some ideas with you:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_rock

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Do_It_Yourself

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batcave_(club)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goth_Rock

All of these links are GOOD primers to look into. Digest this information and denounce those things that may deceive you into believing untruths about what you claim is your identity.

Seriously, I strongly suggest that you at least read ALL of those links to understand the thing you BELIEVE you're a part of.

You might just find you're not goth at all, but more... a product of your own design.

Go away before my head explodes.

[Tea and Cake or Death]

Yep. I agree with the others. You probably aren't really goth. Perhaps a wee bit of research is required on your end. KontanKarite gave some good links.
There is also:
http://www.sfgoth.com/primer/
http://www.razorwire.com/real-goth-faq/
(some of what they say in those web pages I find cheesy, & I don't agree with all of it, but it's a place to start.)
I am sure you can learn a thing or two about being a goth here as well, if that's what you really are interested in.

...but at this point and time, darling. I'd refrain from labeling myself as a Goth until I knew more. But whoever you are, I'm glad to have met you.

Enjoy the boards!

[Man In Room 5]

You're not exactly goth but you're close enough that we'll take you. Just hang around and you'll probably like what you find here. Check out my posts in the Album Dump Thread for links to some classic goth music downloads.

[xParadigmx]

lol. i have to kinda laugh when poeple come on here and everyone automatically goes "youre not goth. sorry. but everything will (never) be ok, so, dont feel too bad about it. sorry 'bout your bad luck mate." oh well. not my problem. just thought i'd make a useless post.

[Beowulf]

Hello and welcome, I hope you enjoy your time here !!!.

As for good music I reccomend these classic albums as they are essential listening ...
