"Black Sabbath
Opeth
The Tea Party"

I realllllly don't want to get into an arguement over what Goth music is here, 'cause it was a past obsession. So, i won't say anything other than this about it. If only that one word wasn't used... This is extremely difficult for me.

It doesn't hurt
It hurt a little when I did it, many years ago.

The Tea Party?
How.. Gothic.. That name is

I've found the answer to my question. My music is more Mod.

I've been called "scene", whatever that is. I prefer all black or black with denim jeans, but I wouldn't consider myself "goth" or "emo" or any of those, not without the proper tastes in music and body art.

old punk here. used to have a nice 8-inch mohawk, but changed hairstyle to accomodate the corporate world and support my family. still punk tho. black nails, 3 ear piercings, a tounge piercing, and 3 tats that i absolutely don't regret.

There's actually a band called 'The Birthday Party' from the late 70s to early 80s that was sort of Gothy. They were Post-Punk, and whether or not they'd fall into the "Goth" category is debatable(there's kind of a blurry post-punk/goth/deathrock haze with a lot of bands around that time), but they were influential to it. It had Nick Cave before he was in the Bad Seeds.
As far as i know, The Tea Party are some sort of Hard Rock band. But i don't really listen to them, so i'm not completely sure.

Cool! I had a deathhawk for a short time during my super-gothy phase. Hair like that is just too much upkeep for a lazy person like me, though. lol.

As for piercings.. I currently have three in each earlobe(bottom ones stretched to 5/8"), four in each upper cartilage, one in each conch, and my septum. I did have quite a few other facial piercings, but taking them in and out for work was too much. Plus the eyebrow piercings i had kept rejecting... and the labret was causing gum erosion. My lip piercing recently closed up because i left it out too long, but i plan to repierce it. Septum piercings are very easy for work, because you can just flip them up into your nose without taking them out

No tattoos.
I do not care for the look of piercings at all. (Just another trendy "fashion" statement)

Yayyyyyy, cool music. Some more.

Awesome!

thanks. i think you're pretty cool too.

this song always reminds me of the punk house i lived in. a bunch of us lived in a house, and we put locks on our bedroom doors, but left the front door open. the entire local punk scene hung out there, and local punk bands used our basement to record and practice. i was the only one with a cassette component on my stereo that did high-speed dubbing, so bands were always knocking on my bedroom door before shows to make tapes to sell. i got a free copy for the use of my tape deck

German Army Training set to Rammstein's "Zerstroren" (Destroy)

I want to tend to my things
and reduce the rest to rubble
Ripping, bashing
Crushing, picking
I go along the garden fence
And feel the urge again
I must destroy
But only if it doesn't belong to me
I must destroy
But only if it doesn't belong to me

No

I'll take your belongings
I'll annihilate them
Sawing, stripping
Not asking, smashing
And now the supreme discipline
Pulling the head off a doll
Hurting, tearing, corroding
Destroying
But only if it doesn't belong to me
I must destroy

No

I would like to destroy something
But only if it doesn't belong to me
I want to be a good boy
But the desire overtakes me
I must destroy
But only if it doesn't belong to me

No

Ripping, bashing
Crushing, picking
Chopping and stealing
Not asking, smashing
Tearing, hurting
Burning, then running
Sawing, stripping
Breaking, avenging

He met a girl that was blind
Shared pain and like-minded
Saw a star go from the sky
And wished that she could see

She opened her eyes
And left him in the same night
