Gothic mustnt be meant "die"
Hi, im sure most of, perhaps all of you'll be surprised but even i listen to gothic music, im not a pessimistic, i dont hate people, i dont wanna kill myself or others, i like helping human! But despite of everything i love that music style..Because its so meaningful and shows my character..For example, that lyrics from Nightwish:
" We're walkin in the air,
We're floatin in the frozen sky(...)"
Or from Epica:
"Follow your common sense, you can not hide yourself behind a fairytale,
Forever and Ever..."
I love magicful and different things in life and i think in spite of all bad people/things/evens in the life, "living" is so prescious..
Take care of yourselves.

Interesting how you haven't misconstrued the two concepts. I think an appreciation for the music and aesthetic is the most important base to have.

Why did you say, No? For saying "Take care of yourselves?" If the reason is that, please dont behave like that; i say in general.

The point was that we don't think "goth" means "die".
We're not maniacally depressive, nor suicidal, nor antisocial; we're real goths.
Neither do we listen to Nightwish or Epica; we're real goths. (this last sentence is not exactly true as some enjoy Nightwish, but the point is that Nigthwish is not gothic music, I hope you know it)

Nope; not really. I'm not going to hate you or judge you just because you like them, but they really have nothing to do with Goth.
Well, technically, their songs are gothic, but they're not goth. Poser bands are more gothic than real goth, but you'll learn the difference eventually.
Goth is this subculture; the on that's so distorted by the media and nerdy kids trying to be dark. Gothic, however, is an adjective to describe a form of shitty medieval Christian art, and to describe equally shitty modern music by the same nerds I mentioned previously.

Perhaps she, seriously, meant what she said.
People say things, that doesn't mean that they're trying to impress people.
You don't have to be mean.

Instead of worrying about that nonsense, I'll amuse myseld with a different type of nonsense by trying to guess what "nkplds" means/stands for.
My first guess was "naked please", but that D screws things up.
"Nickle Plaids"? "Nike Ploders (tm)"? "No Kind Parolee Lets Drunks Skate"? I think I'm liking that one best.

No Knowing Person Likes Dead Socks?
No Kid People Like Dandy Stuff?
