Speaking of black pasta, I just had a helping of squid ink pasta last week. It was black, and it was yummy. o_o

It was also gothilicious because it was black.

Actually to everyone who likes to yell at me for no good reason, there are other threads where we discussed this and we have said Goth is a mind set and is not based all around music and the way Goths dress.

Mmmm... pasta...
I think I shall have a nice pasta carbonara tonight. It's all white and pale, not particularly Gawffick. But it's very yummy.
Maybe I should look out for some squid-ink pasta and make a pasta bake with a tomato-basil sauce for a black and red gothic feast?

Well then the consensus in those other threads is wrong as well. Goth = fan of Goth Rock.

Mmm... I'm pretty sure that people who live different lifestyles use/eat some of the same stuff... I'm sure slobs and neatfreaks, vegans and omnivores eat some of the same brands/types of bread, lettuce and other food.

Speaking of squid ink, I like squid ink icing. It's really good. I picked up a bunch off a cake platter once, and someone told me, in a rather "This is disgusting so you're not going to eat it now that you know" tone, that it's black cuz there's squid ink in it, but I shrugged and licked the lot off my finger.
I do that with jello too. Except I eat it off the spoon instead of lick it off my finger.

They need to make squid ink jello. As long as they don't flavour it like black licorice.

And just for the record, even if this is "gothic.net" I think there are more important things in life than participating in about 50 conversations involving the gothic subculture.(many of them from newbies...or Darkprayer.) I don't even care that it's "totally stereotype" I kinda GET THE POINT....

When did the new members get so annoying? -_-
You're only parroting what you've read in other threads, littluns. This discussion has been had dozens of times, and has swayed many ways.

You may not agree with CCT, but damn, don't go apeshit.

Yes I must comment on the amount of monkey-poo being hurled around.
While I don't actually know CCT, I think she is very nice and I really don't understand why everyone feels the need to attack the poor lady so.
Not wishing to play on national stereotypes but dammit "It's just not cricket."

Anyway, my very summarized view on Goth: Goth really isn't all that wonderful. Goth is a genre of music, anything else is -all you-.
As I say, the very summarized version.

For some reason that reminds me of chocolate pudding. I made black jello once! I used one of the packets and added two of the little food dye capsules (blue) into it and it came out *almost* black. Yummy, lime.

I was just about to say the same thing.. I never really got what the whole stupid shit about labelling people was... Labels piss me the fuck off... Especially when the idiots base it on the type of music you listen to.

Wow, that was fucking stupid.
So, labeling musical styles is idiotic.
But assigning a whole lifestyle and specific mindset to a word and following it is ok?
Explain!

I include 'goth' into that. I just meant, that if Goth is anything, that's the best way you can describe it- as more of a mindset than anything. And I didn't say anything about "musical styles" I just hate the way someone will tell you that you suck and that you're "Emo" or some other shit just for listening to a particular band. Good enough for you?

Oh god damn it!

Listen!

Goth = someone who likes GOTHIC ROCK
Emo = Someone who likes EMO MUSIC (MCR, FALL OUT BOY, ALL AMERICAN REJECTS, etc. NOT EMO)

So, if you're going to use a label, it's better to define a set list of values and perspectives and mindsets of which you must fit in and dare not think in a different way or otherwise you'd fall off from that label, than simply using an adjective to describe your musical tastes?
No wonder you hate labels.

No, not good enough for me. Why is it bad that they call you Emo if you listen to an Emo band?
Want to know why?
Because you believe Emos are depressive cutters; that's why.
If you accepted that Emo and Goth are just musical styles, you wouldn't care now, would you? But you're stereotyping; that's why you believe it's something bad.
