Make your own stuff, your own style. Compliment your figure and shoot for decadence and find the beauty of yourself to compliment that. Your own creations in your wardrobe will be priceless to you. Wear your art on your sleeve, girl. And honestly, if you really REALLY like bands, don't go around wearing their tees. Some may disagree here, but my personal tastes shys me away from being a billboard. I wouldn't even wear a Cruxshadows shirt or even DIY their logos on my cloths. It just seems silly to me. You are you. Advertise yourself, not some band. Again, that's just my personal tastes.
Keep in mind, not everyone can make clothing. Sometimes you're just out of luck clothing wise.

Goth rock is too sad. I rather deathrock to it. And further, I prefer [real] punk to that.

Sad music makes me sad. Why would I want that? I prefer my punk and industrial to make me ANGRYYYY!
Uh, that's sky it's sad music, D00d. And wouldn't really punk be stuff like Slipknot? . Well, you're lucky you're a rivethead...if you were a punk you'd be attacked by half g.net's population. Anyway, I'm not trying to insult you much less change your thoughts though I feel perhaps that's the intention for it: to create an eerie, melancholy sound. Are their any bands in particular you're referring too? As you prevanetly know, Goth rock focuses as well on death, exatensialism, nihilism, etc.

Very true, however, part of the problem was that they didn't have the money to buy gothic clothing, so it's not likely they'd have money for a sewing machine (if they don't have one), fabric to practice on, then fabric to make clothes with, and all of the adornments.

It's not impossible, but it's still a shitty situation.

^^^What...?

And why would you be trying to change his thoughts? If he doesn't like goth music, he doesn't like it.

I was only kidding with the Slipknot thing. I was honestly asking him for bands in particular. No, you see, I clarifed that I wasn't trying to change his thoughts, perhaps I should've mentioned what I was saying.

(sorry in advance for the post above, I was too late to edit it because my computer shut down)

I was only kidding with the Slipknot thing. I was honestly asking him for bands in particular. No, you see, I clarifed that I wasn't trying to change his thoughts, perhaps I should have been more clear: goth music doesn't only make people sad, it makes people think as well. I was wondering if Maggot had an explanation in that area of the genre.
Oh, happy_dude: there's nothing wrong with punk at all. I respect this subculture as a brother. I was only kidding, sorry if my humour's too absurd at times.

clothing modifications. The romantic/victorian look is harder to mod out, but the death rock and cyber styles are kinda easy to pull off with enough ingenuity and shopping at a hardware store.

I thought I already said, Vyv. 2nd wave goth rock seems to have a lot of slow, sad songs to me.

Yep, like the Sisters.

Even with their songs that don't have a depressing sound, the words tend to be sad if you read into them.

That's what I love about Goth Rock, it can be the happiest music around... so long as you ignore the lyrics.

Futurepop, too. Futurepop is generally lame, though. :P

Hardcore is still sweet. You're not allowed to bash it.

Hardcore punk is cooler than hardcore, though.
The Dead Kennedys could kick Trash Boys' asses any day.
