To Goth or Not To Goth...

Here is my take on goth, I like the dark look but sometimes I feel too many people go with traditional goth looks instead of pushing the boundaries a bit.
First DONT BUY YOUR CLOTHES AT HOT TOPIC!!!

Class it up a bit I have long black coats that I bought off the rack at DKNY and they look goth as F@&$. Don’t fall into traditional patterns with make up black eye liner and black lipstick are cliche, do your make up so it looks like you’ve been dead for three days.

Final point especially for men stop worrying about gender specific clothing your goth who gives a f$&@ if your clothes were designed for a women. If it looks good on you let your freak flag fly.

..... and don’t be self conscious wear your clothes with confidence and style.
There will always be “why?” People the trick is to find the “why not?” People

I agree with everything you wrote except the Shirtting bats part, because if you eat bats well you know the rest.
I prefer the dead androgynous alien look.
I think people are more turned off by the word “goth” then the look itself goth is such an old term maybe if it was called the Evil Unicorn look it would get more traction. Joking of coarse I meant the Dead Evil Unicorn look.

I still think it would've been awesome if Robert had walked on stage with short gray hair, no make up in cargo shorts & a tshirt. Heads would've literally exploded!    

He does have cargo shorts though... hehehe

Looks wonderful 😊

Wow, they used “the line”, unbelievable. (You know which one I’m talking about, right after, “Should we be worried about you?”).

This is an excellent explanation of Goth. I've always said I was goth before there was goth. I was drawing pictures of dark things from 8 years old. Went to see the exorcist at age 8. Loved it and never had one nightmare. But I still listen to non goth music at times. I think it's just who we are. Very cool.
