How can you tell a wannabe??
 

Hey everybody, soz its been a while since I have actually posted. I was just wondering but how can you tell a wannabe goth from a real goth?? What sort of signs are their?? If somebody could please help by explaining that would be great!!
Thanx

well a wannabee announces it all the time and thinks its only the cloaths but a real goth knows better.

Yeah, NOEL is right, and a goth (to me) tends to be a LOT more intellectual than most people....plus, they read a LOT more....and have really good taste in music...

Heh...I like it...

You never answered my question...
Have you pissed on anyone lately? If not, I'm standing right next to the fire hydrant...but anyhow, a real goth wouldn't be trying to brag about it and is (in my opinion) usually laid back and if something happens.....well, ho-lee-shit....just deal with it....

Heh, that makes four....

PS: Oh...my...GOD..I can't live anymore! Not if the piss person doesn't like me..oh, how will I live?
(Sarcasm)....heh....

I know....

13? There is too much to say to limit to 13....

Heh, then I guess I will only post something that actually needs to be. Okay, I guess I've been a bit excessive....heh....you just sealed a virus before it killed the world....

How to Tell a Wanna Be Goth from a Real one (By Polished_wolf_claws)

1.Name is taken from some famous book or media piece of Gothic stock/ potential gothic backgrounds (IE: CTHULHU_LOVERZ, JACK_SKELL, SAMHAIN)
2. if you put alot of X's in the name (xGOTHxKIDx)(Note, this bars foriegn/coded languages... such are exempt from this rule)
3. alot of devil connotations (Devil_Worshipper_666, or anything with 666)
4. poor english (This is based on english speakers ONLY, I understand that this language is complex... but if your Born into it, there should be NO PROBLEM with writing what, instead of Wats, or wots... things like that)
5. Not knowing the difference between wannabes and actuals.
6. leet is used in more than just humorous matters (IE: CONSTANTLY)







*Or yea... before I forget*

slightly off topic..... Draygorn..... your signature intrigues me... where did you get the quote?

To drayhorn, I really like your quote and the philosophy behind it. It is good to see that honor still means something to some people.


As for how to tell wannabe goths from goths, if you really have to ask.......you get the idea. Goth is about a creative spirit with an understanding of the darker side of things. It is about individuality, and how you see the world.

Yes and I also know a girl *on a different board* who speaks some old language from africa or something and her name has like 5 x's in it.

What about people who name themselves after over-the-counter cold remedies? :P

Aww.... Thankies. ^-^

Perhaps the reason some people do it (and I've only seen you do it) is because maybe they rely on medication most of the time; from the simple NyQuil, to the Pepto-Bismol or Anti-depressants, they're all medication, and if you rely on them enough, and use them enough, maybe that's why you named yourself that. That help?

*shrugs* but now taht wants me to find another forum and call myself Metamuscel..... sounds slimey and very venarial when written..

Actually it was a tongue-in-cheek comment on polished_wolf_claws' post. And no, I'm not generally on any kind of medication, my name's because for one thing NyQuil is a lovely emeraldy shade of green, and another because Denis Leary did a whole sketch on NyQuil one time that I found hilarious.

I wasn't asking why I chose the name, I was trying to be funny, with the comments about the odd things people do with usernames.

You're not really winning Brownie points with me either, but I'm not quite at the point of disliking you yet, since I really don't know you well enough to put that kind of emotional attatchment towards you.

I think what Dagon Suffers from is verbal Diarehea (Spelling)....

Could change his name to Immodium...

I made that up, too. :)

I am going to HIT YOU with a giant pair of INFLATABLE GENITALS....

Suck a pair of Cybernuts, and Buy yourself a Miserable meal....

you would have to marry me and her. We are brain twins.

You can fuse with us and we can be genital buddies!

4 as far as I know.

Marry us all?

Ok 5 of us, only one male . . .hmmmm

Ok then there are 4.
