You're a Denial Goth! You are so not Goth. In fact you're Post-Punk/Darkwave/Whatever lesser-known synonym for goth is popular this
week. Give it up, it's obvious you're a Goth.
******** quiz...
Sad thing is, in a sense I kind of agree. I hesitate to call myself goth, because for one, I tend not to like the current view on goth (screw you Manson, you killed goth culture!), and generally don't like being stuck in a box.
But the more I research goth, the more I tend to see it coming true.
The originally called themselves the New Romantics. My favourite poet and painter come from the Romantic era. (Wanabe goths can go read John Donne, the depressing whiny b*****d) I agree with many of the tenets of the Romantics/Goths. I find Gothic architecture to be incredibly beautiful, I agree with the idea that not everything (anti-rationalism) can be explained.
I'm artistic. I prefer the emotional to the analytical. I like(gross understatement there) melancholy, and the darker bittersweet emotions.
I like Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees, two bands that contributed greatly to the Goth music genre.
Meh, maybe I'll just call myself a New Romantic. Go back to the roots, and all that.
On the other hand, it's still a lot of fun knowing more about gothic culture than those idiots on the streets with fifty ******** pounds of silver jewelry and spikes.
