See you misunderstand me--I was hardly raised Goth--my dad was a gay black man who liked R and B and thought I was weird -- I am saying that I am Goth because I had a predilection towards Goth type things, like the music and clothing--my innate interests lured me there same as you..
I am not saying that it is a calling or makes me better than anyone, I am saying that people who are truly goth are people who not only look a certain way but are drawn to he culture because that is their nature...they are not pretending to like certain things because it is trendy to do so--they truly like it.
Doesn't make them better or special, no more than being born blond or brunette makes one special, it simply is what it is...
