Shmeng's Goth Test

NachtSorcier · 08-21-2007, 10:55 AM

Oh woe is me...I am but a poor poser goff, for I don't know all of the answers to her test. Then again, some of them are trick questions. Anyone here passed it?

http://www.shmeng.com/modules.php?op...e=index&other=

Some of the answers follow.

I know that:

David Lynch, Tim Burton and Danny Elfman make the gothest movies.

Someone is more likely to be goth if they are wearing a Nick Cave T-shirt.

Nin is Anais' last name.

Bettie Page is crazy and hiding.

You'd rather do Bettie Page tied up.

Marilyn Manson is a rock star.

I got 4/13 incorrect this time. The others that I got correct were just guesses. Naturally I really don't care, I'm just curious.

It's blocked at my work... will have to check it out at home. Sounds like a fun waste of time!

Dude, I just realized you're in Parkersburg! I grew up in Morgantown & my mom and all her siblings graduated from PHS. How crazy is that? I live in TN now.

Porphyria · 08-21-2007, 11:02 AM

I got 3 wrong answers.

Haha. Is it something you have against Morgantown, or Parkersburg, or both? Or TN? I hate TN.

I can't stand the state of West Virginia as a whole. Sure, some of the hills and mountains are nice, but most of it is just a big, dirty trailer park. Nothing but fast food restaurants and porn shops. Parkersburg is no exception and to me, Morgantown is just an enlarged version of Parkersburg.

I've never been to Tennessee.

Haha well take away the beauty & the mountains, add a LOT more people, and you have Tennessee. If you think the culture in WV is backwoods... HA... Even the big cities here are crawling with rednecks.

NachtSorcier · 08-21-2007, 12:09 PM

Maybe, but here it's really a no-win situation - it's either rednecks, "emos", or mainstream cunts. As opposed to a mainstreamer who isn't a cunt.

lol

All I remember is when I left Morgantown most of the kids/teens were preppy, many were trailer-trashish or just plain trashy/skanky, and only a rare few dressed in any "alternative" style.

Yup, that's exactly how Parkersburg is. Morgantown, from what I've seen, remains the same.

Fun.

The particular town in which I live tends to have a lot less rednecks than the surrounding areas, but probably only because of the college students. Sorry for the thread derail btw. :P

Meh, no snot out of my nose.

KontanKarite · 08-21-2007, 12:44 PM

The link doesn't work.

Those tests will always paint me out to be a bad goth.

I know who certain singers are and what bands they play in. I don't know thier lives because, frankly, I don't find myself to be an obsessive fan.

Movies, hell's bells, I don't know directors because it's movies. I watch them. I like them... I seem to fail at acknowledging who did what.

The link doesn't work.

I don't know why it doesn't work for you, because it works for me.

It isn't really a typical Goth Test. Most of the questions aren't about singers or fashion, they're really just enigmatic statements that are opinions more than facts, or else trick questions. One of them isn't even a question, it just has three selections: Chains, PVC or Velvet. If you get one question wrong, you fail.

Really, my only purpose in posting it here is because I'm curious as to what the answers are. I've never gotten fewer than four questions wrong before.

Godslayer Jillian · 08-21-2007, 01:39 PM

I put the answers that Nacht said and I chose others and got 3 wrong.
Nacht's are right, and I'm pretty sure that Blondes can be goths because of Stevie Nicks
Ones of the following is correct:
Which movie was more accurate - Haunted Summer (it so should be!)
People hit on me by saying - So you're a goth
I chose chains (not a fan of PVC or Velvet)
And I said that particular piece of jewelry is found at most head shops.

NachtSorcier · 08-21-2007, 01:56 PM

My guess answers were Stevie Nicks, Haunted Summer, PVC, ask them what Hip-Hop is, "So, you're a goth?", Great For Blood play, and found at most headshops.

I tried again, guessing instead: chains, ultra uber goth, and jewelry. I still got 3 wrong.

Lapin · 08-21-2007, 02:17 PM

I 4/13 wrong.

Roughly a 70%.

In my mind, I passed. (Skips off merrily)

psyches_reflection · 08-24-2007, 03:21 AM

I only got 2 wrong. It's kinda easy to spot what should be the correct answers, methinks.

Death_Mask · 08-29-2007, 12:11 PM

I got four questions wrong. I wouldn't do Betty Page tied up but I chose it still, I mean please the beach?

whilykitt · 09-04-2007, 11:21 AM

I got 4/13 wrong, very cute test, though.. I do wonder what I got wrong, though.
