I have heard a few people saying they're goth - not many though. I'd have to agree. It really gets my goat when people think that they're being gothic/emo by writing really bad poems and songs as their only creative outlet of pain and aguish when really, they're no worse of than anyone else.
However, on a more realistic note and in terms of myself I generally tend to ignore labels. Like Disfunction says, it's what's associated with the label. I would say my fashion sense was gothic because I like the dark clothes, spiky gear, leather trenchcoats, etc but I wouldn't describe myself as an actual goth. Some people call me a goth, some people call me a half-assed attempt at a gimp suit but I really couldn't care less. I'm just being myself and I'm happy with who I am. None of my close friends are 'goths' but we still get on fine. I accept them for who they are and they accept me for who I am.
Labels mean nothing so why are people so desperate to confrom?
