Goths- to be or not to be?


Recommended Posts

Sorry, I've only just read your post mikebayly........are you perhaps the illegitimate son of timo? :hihi:

 

No offence intended to either of you, BTW! :hihi:

 

Alas not!

 

My garrulous ramblings aren't a patch on our esteemed friend.

 

I fear Timo is the Maradona of worldplay, and I am merely the spotty oik who cleans his boots.

No, Mike. You are a gifted and witty wordsmith whom I have come to respect.

I prefer old skool goth - the vampyric variety, but I suppose that's coz I'm old :roll:

 

I remember being goth as being individual, not looking the same, finding something somebody else didn't have and wearing it to death :P

 

The uniformity of the current batch of gothlets disappoints me :(

My partner's 16yr old niece is a Goth (and her older brother was for a short while). She looks stunning in her black dress, black long coat, black eye shadow and dyed black hair.

 

Her parents are exceptionally tolerant of her, and realise its only a phase she's going through. Mind you, I think they were Punks in their time, just like I was Rocker in my time - and in my youth I knew folk who were Mods, and even Teddy Boys! :rolleyes:

It would seem they're blissfully unaware that some people never grow out of it.

 

Anyway Goths are no sillier than any other any other youth subculture and to my tastes at least nowhere near as unpleasant as sloanes, ganstas, chavs and whatever people into ‘bling’ culture are called.

 

As for them being miserable that’s nonsense I had some fantastic nights at Rock City with a few Goth mates I had back in the early 90s where so far as I could tell most people seemed to be having fun. For some reason you see quite a lot of Goths at Ceilidhs and they seem to enjoy themselves as well.
