Re: Is Your Child A Goth?
My o so young and missinformed friends. If your going to call your self part of a group at least have the decency to understand where that groups roots are grown from. As a young man(ok so maybe not so young anymore) who was alive when the "goth" movement came into being I suppose I should enlighten you as to what you actually belong to. Firstly you were born in the early 80's yes thats right it wasn't the day you first put on your makeup. You were given your name in an article first published in the UK rock weekly titled "The face of Punk Gothique" yes thats right PUNK. You are a subculture to punk. Punk is essentially your daddy. You were inspired by the likes of Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Bauhaus. So in the end your name is nothing more then a label for a type of music. Next time my Mallgoth friend(if you don't know what it means get out of Hot Topic and go pick up a book about your own subculture) try researching the group you want to be a part of so when someone that dosen't belong to it asks you a question about it, you can answer it intelligently. and No I'm not against goths, and I'm not inherintly against the Landover, I'm mostly against ignorance. I'm also mostly for fair informed discussion as well.
So now that we have established that you are a subculture of Punk and are in fact not terribly informed about your "culture" would you like to try again? Perhaps we can discuss where the motivation for your clothing came from? or the reason your supposed to be all dark and brooding?
