If it's a state of mind, I think you can have wannabes; that is, people who want to have that state of mind... but just don't get it. They don't have that state of mind, but they try to copy the outside signs (clothing, music) to make people believe that they do have that state of mind.

Not sure if that made sense. Maybe an example would clarify:

I would compare the goth wannabe to the soldier wannabe. He doesn't have the training or mental discipline of a real soldier (therefore, the mindset of a soldier), but he wears camoflauge and mimics some of the solider's behaviors. Same would go for ninja wannabes.

I'd agree with the Tall one.. there are definitely those who find the Gothic image enticing but simply don't feel it. Comparing them to lemmings would seem cliché and overdone, but the metaphor simply works.
Hot topic, as an example. Most people who frequent the shop liked the pirate motif before Hot Topic noticed that it was trendy and filled its stores with pirate merch after Pirates of the Caribbean. Likewise for those who simply see a movie and like the look of Goth compared to those who’ve been Goth’s lover for years.

and you see? I didn't even make fun of your spelling.
someone is getting crabby.

now if you really are an intellectual (Which is what I like to hope of everyone in the initial stages of any conversation), you wouldn't have come on here, stirring shit up, making rude comments and attacking those who have done nothing to offend you in the first place.

and if we have offended you, just say so: "This comment offended me" is all you would have to say. If you say are offended by talk of masturbation, don't go into the masturbation thread..... but if some one posts something obscene in another thread, by all means, voice your offense.

but from what I've seen, you have come on here and began saying things that seriously put your maturity and intellegence into question.

I don't like being mean.

I will be rude, lewd and crude if I know others around are open to such, but If there is someone entering a convesation, I try my damnest to avoid offending someone.

but if you are to be rude and whatnot when it is not called for.... or just for the sake of rudeness..... I will be a real mean mother fucker.

Now if you'd like to start again, I'm sure everyone here would be willing to try.
