Goth.. I barely look like a goth or act like one, bt bein in such dark place i could find ma solace and see the light iv been looking 4. Jus be uself i guez.. Do what suits u bst.

Its firstly about the music, without it there is no goth. Then come the asthetics. Its not all about wearing black, being gloomy and trying to freak people out, thats a very noob attitude, and one taken by outsiders and poseurs. Learn from those who have been into the lifestyle for a while, but don't make the mistake of going down the whole goth is what you make it route, because thats absolute bullcr*p. May i recommend paying a visit to the garden of arcane delights goth forum, there's lots of good information to help you along your way :) x
