many people in my somewhat small and backward town believe that i am a goth simply because i wear black t-shirts and have an “i don’t give a shit” attitude about life and everything in it and i have always corrected them by saying that “i’m not goth..i’m all of the above.” but it’s got me wondering, what exactly is being goth? is it the color of your clothes and the music you listen to? i mean, is there some goth headquarters out there that decides that off grey is the NEW fad for goths vs. the almost black grey that was in style last year? (sarcasm alert!) if so, i haven’t got the memo..lol.
or does it have to do with attitude or something equally, yet somehow more profoundly, internal?
just a thought.
Well in my opinion there are true goths and poser goths. I believe that “goth” is a mindset more than a fasion, though fashion does have a lot to do with the goth culture. I don’t think being goth means you’re always depressed or extremely dark, but rather a mindset where you’re inclined towards darker things.
I believe poser goths (those that I have to see everyday at school) are those who dress goth because its what everyone else is doing and because they know it can help them get guys.
Just my two cents. 🙂
