Goth in less than one hour

[Sanctus Dei]

Looky here Arcy-poo… This issue has nothing to do with the opinion your ramming up the asses of everyone here... It’s how many fucking times you feel the need to do it. IF you have a post that has nothing to do with "HOW TO BE GAWTH" I would be one surprised silly lil' duck. You've honestly made no intelligent contribution to this site and anything you have slathered across our brains with your rusty one tracked knife has been said over and over since the dawn of time. Here's a hint fer ya;

WE'VE PURCHASED OUR FUCKING FILL OF ALL AUTHORITY ON GAWTHINESS!! Set your repetitive ass right back on the shelf, thanx for shopping go get a god damn clue.

As to your entire "Woe is me and my struggle to single handedly hold the goth nation on my depressed individualistic black and chain shrouded shoulders" BOO FUCKING WOO, if you disagree with the line of thought here your more then welcome to fade into the passing night fog for all we care (psst, I don't think anyone would miss ya) SOooo if you stay for another round of tolerate the fucktard, try to puke something worth while from your silly yap, maybe make... oh, I don't know a "literary?!" contribution or your more then welcome get the hell out you self-righteous fucking maggot.

Okay, I'm going to ramble. Feel free to skip this =P

Wait for it... trying... trying...
Nope, can't care.

The gamer geek version:
I'm sorry, but I failed my "give a shit" roll.

I honestly don't care what Goth is or isn't. I don't particularly care if I'm Goth or not. I'm as likely to wear plaid as black, as likely to listen to Stan Rogers as Sisters of Mercy. I put less direct effort into my subcultural identification than I do a pot of coffee. Does that make me less of a Goth? Don't know. Does not caring make me MORE of a Goth? Don't care.

The fact that the subculture can be satirized and we all get the joke indicates there's SOMETHING uniquely identifiable about it, but, by it's nature, it's a very amorphous thing. You're talking about a subculture without definable geographic, socio-economic, or even linguistic bounds. Tracking subculture is a sociologists nightmare: by the time it's been defined, it's changed.

Is there a clear dividing line between Goth and, say, Punk? Yeah, sometimes we can point at one and know it's not the other, but where exactly do you draw that line? I don't know how it works in other folks cities, but in both Detroit and Atlanta there was a LOT of "member-sharing" between the cliques. Throw some Rock-a-Billy in there, and good luck sorting it out.

Honestly, when someone stands behind a black velvet podium and preaches about what Goth is or is not, my first question is whether or not they've given the problem any serious thought.

Goth is like anything else involving people: It's messy, complex, at times beautiful, ugly, fascinating or dull, easy to understand if you let it be itself, a bitch to define when you start imposing terms.

Stop trying, and give a steadier set of hands a chance to bollox the job.

In response to an avater (of all things):
I'm still trying to find an Elder who I can convince that Gir is my spirit guide.

[WolfMoon]

We have much lurve for the one called 'Gir', here.

I want to be Gir when I grow up.

I'm going to have to applaud Ikaros on that little rant. I do believe that's the best "get over your self-deluded superiority" speech I've heard in a long time.

Oh yeah, IF!

You know, I have no idea everyone is getting upset. (Especially since I cannot find the article either.)

There's is no reason to get snippy! (Mainly directed at the person who bit my head off for the cute little comment involving club kids. It's only a guess that applying a lot of make-up and wearing very uncomfortable clothing was a part of the while artile.)

But Santarea... the blind ignorance is 'tEh bliss'?!

[Catch]

Isn't that some kind of health drink? Obviously they need extra vitamins, but I wouldn't say they are, "weak."

If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face!

I <3 you, girl!

[Catch]

Thanx. (Maybe it would help if I know what it meant.)

I like dictionary.com.

That's really sad. Now they wont be able to get those easy county jobs where you just file all day because they don't know how!

I swear, the education of america is enough to make my balls shrivel.

[Godslayer Jillian]

Wow, that gives "ignorance is a bliss" a whole different meaning. A more profoundly atheistic meaning.
"Spiritual joy comes from ignorance"

My mom works for the county at a health clinic. Everything there is still in files. They have to have a hard file for everyone. Sometimes peope don't have the money for a complex computer system for organization. I know the system we work with at my work cost over 1 million. It is worth every cent.
