[Disfunction]

I wish you could learn how to spell. I understand your rant, but I've never actually heard anyone suggest that they are a goth for listening to MCR or Fall Out Boy; that would be the equivalent of saying I'm punk because I listen to Britney Spears.

The best thing to do is ignore the label in general; if you think you are gothic, then by all means, look for people who you think fit the bill and then leave it at that. A label is just something used to identify a group, individual, or object; the group, individual, or object does not cease to be what it is or begin being something else when the label is used, it simply becomes mislabelled or eventually becomes associated with the label. That certainly doesn't mean it's a huge deal; whatever I am is different than a lot of other people, so I look for people who are like me. That sums it up.
