So, here I am, trying to find this thing that a mate of mine mentioned his other brother found on a catholic church site. It was "How to Tell that your Child is Gothic". Compents included:
Black clothing
Punk, Rock, or Goth music
Depression
Introvertedness
Prefers time alone
Eats Count Chocula
Well, lets see...Hmm...yah, I do the black clothing...I listen to the music...only on a really bad day am I depressed...I can be introverted, but rarely...Time alone...I do that a lot...you know, to think, clear my mind, chill, you know...eats count...hmm...You know, I just bought a box of that last night, had some this morning.
Damn.
I s'pose that makes me a goth. Me and half of the bloody world. Including the six year olds who eat Count Chocula at Halloween time.
So, let me get this straight. Because I wear black clothes on occassion, have a musical taste that I can often times identify with, like time to myself to chill and think, that I have bad days, and that I eat a cereal that's damn tasty, that means I'm a Goth Kid...?
Alright then.
People who eat Count Chocula at Halloween time when it's popular 'cos it's HALLOWEEN...does that make them part-time Goths?
In either case, if I can find the list, I'll post it. But, until then, I found this site while looking for I...I damn near cried, it's such BS (Bad Science). Well...most of it is. It's just the way this arsehole says it makes it seem like most...well, let's just say that it...makes him look like a complete ass. Here's the link. It's worth a look. It's called
"A Study of Gothic Subculture"
http://www.darkwaver.com/subculture/index.php Maybe I'll rememeber this site for reference when I'm older and my future kids start acting like, well...TEENAGERS.
Whatever.
