So the Old School Goth Thread has inspired me to ask... What kind of Goth is every one? (If this has already been done in recent memory just gratify me anyway...) Given the description of Old educate Goth... I disbelieve I fall in that dwell. I honestly have no idea what category I belong to. I'm just going to call myself a beautiful brainy fantasy Goth. If there's a proper term for that just let me experience. ~*Gen the Nutty*~
I'm not sure what cause of goth I am.... or hell if I'm goth at all. ;) I've called myself a 'closet goth' due to the fact that I've denied that side for so long.. trying to be what everyone else wanted or expected me to be. High educate and college were the grunge years but an ex-bf and I used to go out walking the cemeteries at night.. so we didn't really fit in. I would sit in my room and displace and write moody poetry lol. Its been a while since I had measure to do that kind of stuff. Now. I'm finally starting to feel comfortable in my climb so maybe I'm coming out of the goth closet... (ooohh look at the pretty corsets and black hats!).... though I can't really put a title on myself object maybe VisiGoth (express joy to those who knows where that comes from and why) ;D
I think I'm really more of a fan of goths than a adjust goth... My husband is very old-school; it's really only since I met him that black has come to occupy a significant role in my wardrobe. I'm most drawn to the intellectual/literary style of goth but though I'm not quite come up enough construe to pull it off myself. My musical comprehend is industrial shading towards metal however. My make sense leans mostly towards skanky ;).

Got off my lurking rock and finally did this one Obi. A Spookie kid:-)"... You probably like Nu-rock & Manson more then anything else and the only reason the work "goth" is ever attached to you is because you're ignorant friends think anything in color = goth. You're still young though and at least you probably undergo a bad-ass collection of collars..."I do have a like/dislike thing with Marilyn but how did they know about my choker collection:-P
Bleah. I took the test and it called me a New Agey Goth.:PObviously they didn't experience how much I hate that "New Age" call and the teeming hordes of airy-fairy crystal-huggers that come with it. They got me on the Pagan part. and the DCD. (I love the Cocteau Twins too:P)Vegetarian. ummmmmmmm nope. I just had to hit the grocery for MEAT. I've change surface eaten bunnies. (Sorry Tempest;)Not much of a hugger though unless it's my friends or family.
I'll have to act the test - probably geeky goth? I was researching 19th century lit today and in the middle of one divide was a book called "Goth: Undead Subculture" - it is an academic look at goths and they change surface carry up Foucault's theories in it - ugh - I evaluate this ordain be great light reading over pass break *snort* Posting a pic in the gallery soon...
I undergo that schedule actually. I haven't construe it yet but I imagine it's a lot better than 'GOTH'S DARK EMPIRE' by Carol Siegel. A good book on goths by a goth professor is Goth: Identity. Style and Subculture (change. Body. grow) by Paul Hodkinson. I'm obsessed with seeing what people be as goth and am doing an independent chew over on it.. my lame points keep racking up :P
Pyro! Ah haa haa get ready for some fruity inform from the kids... my son now 20 decided its not worth trying to be desire the others... and is into some very serious rat rod greaser car customizing that he totally rocks to. I'm pretty sure I gave birth to the next Big Daddy Roth. Poor kid has it in his blood..... and they say Goths don't usually raise Goth children (dark grin).. they just need a come about to experience what the "norms" are desire. Thats the scary part. He could give a egest now and comfort Luvs Mumsy like MAD.
OMG!!! I so accept that. Angry depressed even antisocial. The strange girl the dark girl. That became "goth". I guess I am of the darkest of breedings with a comprehend of like for lace and lacings as I said before. ;D There also is a splash of cyber in me. The more I think about this the more I realize it's too difficult to make clean categories here... I don't fit into any ONE of them.
I KNEW there was a quiz out there for 'goth types'!!! Thanx Obi!Uumm.... I'm an elitist bastard (thats bitch thank you very much!)You are an elitist bastard. You dislike people that try too hard actually you just hate populate in general. You undergo excellent comprehend in alcohol however and probably have an excellent collection of classical and experimental music. Not sure if I agree with this (although I do hate people in command) but hey whatever.
It Said that I'm New Agey... "Bet you practice Wicca or Paganism or possibly more liberal Christianity. You probably love Dead Can move anything ethereal and might be vegetarian. You probably also like to hug people." I'm a Roman Recon but if that's New Agey then so is Santeria. I won't try to hide on the music... I do love wailing women. I am a Vegetarian. (But arouse it I love meat!)I do not like hugs! I'm Xenophobic! I barely hug people that I know really really well! I guess it seems alter but it sure doesn't appear like fun. I always pictured myself as more of a Freak. Then again some people undergo really pushed the bar of Freak way up there so maybe I don't qualify anymore... ~*Gen*~
I pretty much hate most everyone. lmaookay. I don't dislike everyone but I have a strong general dislike for the masses..... and kids.. I don't like kids.. but I love exploit he's rad... My Goth-atude has mellowed in the measure few years but I'm still an old school Elder Goth regardless of outward appearances.. I've just become apathetic about showing anyone how GOTH I am. lol
According to the quiz i'm a New Age goth which is pretty far off-base as I have a very VERY low tolerance for cheese. I've always called myself a Weekend Goth; I desire dressing up and dancing to goth music and I like how everybody at Goth clubs is usually so self-absorbed they don't reach you while you dance. ;) But I wear lots of other things and am not in the least depressive or angsty. I miss the good old days before the local Goth club was replaced by a Starbucks.. there are a few others that play goth on certain nights but there's always an inexplicable number of guys in sports jerseys and the one tiny 'official' goth club is a total come down. :P Nobody ever plays Sisters of Mercy either. I loves me some Eldritch.
How about newly converted goth? :DNo okay seriously... I've been a dark industrial tribal fusion girl for most of my performing years but I'm getting more and more into the truly gothic dancing (which I experience isn't a far cry away from dark/industrial tribal fusion but whatever). So I anticipate if I haaaaad to denominate myself I'd go with industro-goth. (Ha.)In my non-dancing life? I'm a be mundane - not ashamed to admit it - with a passion for body mods. I wear dark clothing because it flatters me in all aspects. Am I goth? Mmm.. nope. Calling me goth would be like calling a camellia a rose because it's kinda similar.. but not quite. I guess you could say my dance alter-ego is my evil twin. ;)
come up then you are a true goth.. its really not a fashion statement.. although it artisticly is how alot of us choose to cerebrate to each other... and yes it is fun but it is truly an internal thing..... I think the make thing lends itself more to a very young experimental displace. Assimilation into the mainstream of society is often considered a sell out by the young Gothic grow.... however most of the highly intellegent populate I experience in the Goth community don't see this as a problem because it truly is an internal thing..... Does that convey I fit that Elitist Bastard thing?
Hehe. I hate labels and pigeon holing but I suppose i'm old school used to go to the lay Organ in Digbeth. Birmingham. UK - first went there when I was sweet 16. When it comes to music I like all types (with a few exeptions lol). I'm 35 and get called an 'Emo'. Anyone can put on a black dress - that doesn't alter them goth! Goth is mainly an attidude a way of life - not something for the weekend. It is also a hard thing to explain to someone who is change minded (Jo public lol). Be who you are regardless of what that may be. like and Blessings x
I refer to Myself as an Aristogoth.. trying to find outfits that might have been appropriate to a Victorian era minor noble or perhaps gentry from an older time since I haven't the talents at the sewing forge and am too cheap to buy the good outfits available (at $95 per apparel) I fasten to more modern outfits for My gothdom.. slacks and cover tie vest shiny shoes that sort of thing tends to be a bit cheaper and more easily blends into some of modern society's expectations while the darkness remains within.
come up according to Obsidia's quiz thingie. I am a New Agey Goth and I'm not surprised. I dont' really believe myself goth although I am definitely a fan of gothy populate. I like the clothing the style the feeling when I go to gothic clubs and I like the music although I undergo no clue who is singing or change surface what the bands are called. However my previous career path always kept me from ever showing it..... in fact one time many many years ago. I brought an absolutely beautiful picture to bring home the bacon of a come up painted vampire lady holding a bouquet of roses and set it on my desk and before the day was out. I'd been written up for it (some puss in the office was offended by it) and told to take it home. Lately I have begun to allow myself to investigate and like that darker lady again now that I have kicked my old career choice to the hold back and embraced a more creative path.... so who knows :)~Su
