I dont get Goth!
The goth subculture does encompass more than gloom and dressing in all black. (There are at least a dozen sub-categories; perkygoths, for example, tend to wear a lot of pink.) The tired old stereotype is what people outside the scene seem to focus on though...

Some of their non-adult fashion stuff is very dark. I prefer to call everything "alt" these days, though; it's a bit more encompassing than stereotyping definitions. Along those lines, I consider myself "gothy", but not "goth"... if that makes any sense. However, I have no problems with random people calling me a "goth model". That's fine. When it comes down to it though, I tend to categorize myself for portfolio websites, etc, as an "alternative model". Alternative to the mainstream.

But it would take a few days to arrange all the facts and music sources and another few days to write, and that's a committment I only make when an editor is actually paying me for the piece. I'm sure you understand. May 29 06 12:35 pm Link Kitapanda wrote: How many emo kids does it take to screw in a light bulb? May 29 06 12:40 pm Link |
