They still look stupid.

This reminds me of the one goth kid in the music scene back at home. A ton of the kids in my hometown go to hardcore shows on the weekends, and there's this guy... nobody I know knows him, but he's really tall and thin, always wearing all black and at least one article of fishnet clothing. He's got a trenchcoat and boots, and usually has his hair (black, of course) gelled up in some ridiculous fashion, and he has his own boombox he carries around. I've always wanted to ask him if he wanted to go listen to some Sisters of Mercy and brood, but I think he might stab me.

I'm guessing we're not refering to this, are we?

dear god no!

PS: Mission Accomplished.

Japanese Goths kick the shit out of US Goths

That's kinda like saying sissies kick the crap out of poofs.


j/k, I got no problem with goths. Some of 'em are alright.

By "beat the shit out of," you really mean "look even more ridiculous than," right?

The whole Gothic Lolita look may be cool for people that jerk off to pictures of overdressed French maids, but for me it's garish and ugly (and in some ways creepy). Most Goth fasion can't seem to tell the difference between what's idiotic and what isn't.

But I'm probably not the best person to ask, since I can't view the whole "goth" culture as anything more than a joke. I have yet to meet a goth that isn't an asshole, a tool, or someone whose obsession with the color black approaches the obscene...

It might be a bit more tolerable if most of these people didn't take themselves so damn seriously. It's a bit like the Valley Girls of the underground: they take themselves so seriously, yet they act so ridiculous that everybody except themselves is laughing at them.
