Rae Ven Rae,

Middle finger raised in proud defiance? Much unlike "middle finger raised in raging mindless anger" such as is used by many punks and rush hour traffic drivers.


We're number 1,

Rae Ven Rae,

Mayhaps. But I consider myself less outwardly aggressive than others.

I was thinking of this the other day. Some kind of secret handshake, I'd think. No, no, I got it! Some outward show! Yes! We all need to start wearing black!

true true. Goths already have a gang sign. The fact that it's been stolen by pretty much every other subculture just proves that it really is a kick ass sign....

if we were to have a gang sign, or like a logo, I would see an old cracked ankh with a rose going through the center.

Or an ankh, with a bat rampant behind it, coat of arms style XD

There would have to be some sort of hand signal too like that W ...Westside?? or whatever it is ( you know where you spread the thumb, index and little finger, and cross the middle and ring finger and then gesticulate madly ? ) . Everyone can make a kind of G shape with their hand, when they spy a fellow goth....Ooooo!

It would be a "W" with the four fingers. The middle the ring and middle fingers crossing. The "W" symbolizing Wicked.

or

The sign language "G" for Goth.

It's a good idea, but it's a bit similar to that weird hand gesture popular amongst teenage boys, where you tap your fist on top of your friend's (took me five attempts, and that's the closest thing to a description I can manage).

One of my aunts, who was a Goth when she was in school back in the 70's, said she and her friends used to use that slidey-hand-gesture from The Rocky Horror Picture Show as a form of greeting with her Goth friends. The teachers thought it was some kind of gang/cult gesture.

I'm waffling :S

Oh that sounds so awesome!!! That would make a good symbol.

If a bat were to be added it could also represent the batcave movement and it helps make it look a little more wicked.

I was prompted to think of one, and so I did.

Not an actual gang sign, but more like a symbol... or even logo <_< (link)

There's so many different culture styles in Goth that I cannot think of any one that would incorporate everything.

So I'd prefer a Bauhaus picture with Souixsie eyes. Maybe make the Bauhaus face be made more human-like to make it easier to include the eyes.

Either that or Peter Murphey with fangs.

it would be a hot-shit head toss, like getting hair out of your face but with less effort.
