Happy, Shiny Goths


Religion News Blog re-posts a story, apparently from the Times Online, examining the culture of violence in goth circles. This is my favorite quote:
"Julia Lile, organiser of Dark City, is also concerned by the obsession with pain and suffering that has crept into the culture. 'I’m an older goth,' she emphasised. 'I’ve been a goth for a long, long time before this preoccupation with death. I just don’t understand the whole suicidal, killing part to it.'"

Uhhh... I don't even know where to begin. If Goth is not preoccupied with death, and has not always been, what the hell is it? Have you ever seen a Goth who didn't either look like a vampire or look like she just got about 1 pint and a half sucked out of her by one?
