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?
