If you would like for this nice lady to stay nice, I suggest reading the FAQ: For the Newbies!! Yes, that means You!



To answer, what I think is your question: What is the explanation of why so many definitions of "what is goth" exist?
Many people have many opinions. I suggest reading some of the history about how the goth-scene started, it should give you some insight on the manner.

Also: Being lonely and/or being depressed has very little to do with being a goth in general.

i'll gladly step aside now that you're back, beautiful one. just keeping the... um... warm waters flowing 'til i saw you again. to clarify, though - you "pee" on people cuz you're a hot girl. i "piss" on 'em because i'm an angry guy. there's a difference.

and i'll accept that dance of eternal urine. in the nice way.

for you, xnguela -


cuz i missed you.

Go to Hot Topic and buy yourself some cool clothes, eyeliner tears, and I think they even have a book on how to be Gothic.

And just because we are gothic.net doesn't mean we like everyone asking us with goth is! So either read the proper thread for this or just shut the fuck up. And learn to use proper grammar and spelling.

Yeah..you can say fuck. It's used a lot. But EPS uses it the best. Only she can make me laugh with the way she uses the word.

Oh and winged, my darling...you used the word "with" instead of correctly using the word "what." :oStill love me!!:o

I like those definitions.
It seemed to me that, based on what everyone has said, you can't actually class someone as Goth, everyone's just being themselves and generally frowned on by society.
Am I wrong? Is there something I'm missing?


Am I Goth if I sing S club 7 in karaoke? Not that I have...

Goths are based on their personal experiences, some, in my experience, are trying to rebel away form strict school/families or atmospheres for me it isn't really a matter of being a "Goth" i see my self as an individual who happens to like the Gothic trend of music/fashion i am not really a Goth i am purely my own persona
