Kewl--thank you ...
Funny too--I just can't pin point when and where I chose to be "Goth"...I could be all corny and said it chose me and Kontan could swat at me for being all lame and stuff..:-)
meh...
The odds were stacked against me...
I grew up in the hood, and I don't mean the play hood that some rappers claim to be from for street cred., I mean the move-into-a-new-apartment-scrub-the-chalk outline-off-the-floor hood.
NO ONE I knew was drawn to what i was drawn to.
By age eight I was quoting Nietzche (sp?) and referencing Greek mythological tales --everyone thought I was a weirdo--or a devil worshipper.
I had a natural fondness for black..
I was about sixteen when I ran into my own tribe, but I found it odd that here were so many restrictive rules within the subculture...lol..
This is why I feel a true Goth is not one who dresses a certain way or looks that way--I know the phrase was coined by the music, but I think people who were Goth in nature existed prior to this...
