I'm talking about them there creepy little kids that got them fake-ass fangs and wear all black. To me it's really sad and I kind of feel sorry for these kids but at the same time I enjoy them so much because they bring me such joy in knowing that I never did something that stupid as far as looks go.

I found this totally by accident. Look in their board at the topics. Read some of the posts. Can you say cliche?

Goth culture allows unattractive, unsexy people to be attractive and sexy (to one another, at least). It enhances the sexual appeal by adding elements of danger through vampirism, SMBD, occult stuff.

This is an evolutionary way for total geeks and outcasts to get laid.

Very well done.....

is it any worse than the little punker kids (who are often seen wearing Nirvana shirts these days) and the pacifier-sucking ravey kids? C'mon, think about what you were wearing in high school. It's pretty unfair to judge fourteen year-old kids, i think.

Now if you're in your forties and still painting your face like Robert Smith (and you're not Robert Smith) then something is off. As for whether there's something wrong with being Robert Smith, well, that's another issue to discuss.

The only difference between me now and me then is that I don't wear a band t-shirt every day. That and I think my choice in band t-shirts has gotten better.

the thought of blowing that much dough to still look ugly blows my mind. i know a few and everytime i think, "you know, there's nothing wrong with blue jeans and light makeup."

i like the fake cat ears. i would wear them myself if i were goth. i reckon that one can get a set at hot topic. most of those kids are like

goth head: i hate the world and the world hate me. i dont like the sun


goth body: gimme taco bell! i want mcd's. ya know what? WHOPPER!! x-mayo!!!



hahaha. definitely crap

OK, I'll 'fess up. In highschool, I was one of these "goths". Granted, I wasn't into fantastical crap (I've always hated fairies, werewolves, and all that stupid Dungeons and Dragons crap that so many of these people seem to be into), and I didn't wear fangs or a cape or anything, but I did have the Robert Smith hair and black lipstick and stuff. The majority of so-called goth stuff I listened to in my spookier days I still listen to now, i.e. Joy Division, the Cure, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Cabaret Voltaire, Bowie, Skinny Puppy, TG, Chrome, Alien Sex Fiend, early Sisters of Mercy, the first Christian Death album, etc, etc, etc. I figured out pretty fast that all that newer "goth" stuff that was coming out on Cleopatra and Projekt was utter garbage, though I think I had some Black Tape for a Blue Girl, one Rosetta Stone album, and maybe one Switchblade Symphony album for curiosity's sake. I found that stuff tiresome, and sold it pretty quickly.

I never thought I was attractive to anyone, but always thought it was entertaining. Some of the rednecks at my school were genuinely threatened by it, which was funny.

I've always thought all this stuff was trite. I just liked a lot of "goth" music. I was young and stupid enough to wear the uniform to a degree, but quickly realized how silly it was, and how much I utterly despised everyone else who considered themselves "goth" or whatever.

Anyhow, the vote goes to "I like to laugh at others". They'll hopefully learn from their mistakes before they finish highschool. I'm glad I did.

Oh, most goth girls are really attractive to me, though. I don't know why. I can hear everyone here losing any respect they might have had for me. Busy clippers, ooooohh...

I went through a pretty serious goth phase as a teenager. I never did fangs, but I'd wear eyeliner and tease my hair and shit.....

I was kinda embarassed about it for a while. But now I think I'm going to go back. 31 isn't too late to go goth again, right?

n.c. i double dog dare you to do a show with your fucking hair teased up. in lawerence...
