It's spelled "holy," by the way. "Holly" is a prickly, berry-producing plant.
readmycomics:
I don't agree that all teenagers who call themselves Goths aren't serious about the culture. Most aren't, certainly, and some of those who are grow bored with it, but it isn't possible that none of them stay interested-- otherwise, where would the "real," older Goths come from?
As for the statement that any twenty-six-year-old wearing lots of metal and art-house horror movie shirts is certainly a true Goth... even someone in their twenties who dresses like a Goth could be totally ignorant of the music, beliefs, and history that go with the image. Age doesn't always equal wisdom, after all, and appearance is the least important part of the true Goth culture. Besides, not all Goths like metal and horror movies, and a few non-Goths do.
I'm sure you understand this; I just wanted to make a point.
