I think being goth is a cry for help.

I am an elite goth and while I might not dress like a typical goth, I certainly am very dark and gloomy on the inside and yet somewhat cheerful. Paradoxical, I know but there we are.

Occasionally, I do like to dress goth; the eyeliner, black jeans, black dickies shirt, bracelets, earrings and the like.

dantac: good point.
but also, it made me think that its a really fine line you suggest.

okay, behaving like vampires and the like, we dont need to talk about that, but there are several things that could be taken very ambigously:
i know a share of goths who are very obsessive about proper, educated speech. in itself, id say that is not a bad thing, but can make them look like victorian era reenactors at times (especially because its really not uncommun for girls to wear corsets). the same can be said about manner - wheres the dividing line between acting idiotic and making a solid counterstatement against todays lack of behavior?
also, excessive vanity isnt unheard among goths (no wonder, its a predominantly aesthetic thing after all, unlike, for example, punk) and you say you like when the style works well with them. that, however, may include not staying in the sun for prolonged periods of time - so yeah, thats right between "uuuh- im a vampire" and just keeping a reasonable eye on ones looks.


When I mean acting like a vampire I mean literally. If someone avoids the sun well thats alright. But if they start congregating to drink blood or do some silly pagan ritual just because they got it from some dungeons and dragons book or something like that... that's where I consider them going too far.

That's probably true of some people who temporarily try to be Goth, as opposed to those who just find that they are Goth.

i dont think its paradoxical. au contraire, it is my experience that you wont find a honestly happier crowd than on goth parties (well, other than the monthly get-together and show-off-whos-darker in some backyard clubs...). and then, its nothing really strange when small groups go where its a bit more quiet to talk art, politics or whatever - but having actual topics for real talk at a party in a club is something i havent seen anywhere else.

and on a more theoretical note: when you accept gloominess instead of playing the happy-happy-joy-joy-facade and not thinking enough to even realize some of the sad tragedies, thats about the best ground for the possibility of being much happier than default unthinking blokes.

I consider myself a Sovietesque goth with punk tendencies. I don't find many goths 'round here that particularly like my style :\

I was quite intrested in the whole goth culture and i had a friend who was goth.The intresting thing about vampires is the not quite human and stronger senses part.I knew nothing about AS a few years back and only knew that social sevices thought me autistic because i behaved like a kanner autistic.So i thought autistics where people who could not talk and where completly in there own bubble.I thought that could no longer apply to me because i can talk.Then when i decided to look on the internet to find out about my sons frantic hand flapping i found something that sent a shiver down my spine and nearly made me feel like crying in feelings of being overwelmed.I do not feel human,i feel like im from another planet.
The more i read the more it seemed like i had written most of what i was reading.It was strange after all the years of feeling totally alienated to find that there where people on the planet that could have some ideas like my own.There is little publicity about autism unless its very LFA.My mother did not tell me much about autism and things about myself because she says she wanted me to feel normal,that did not work.
I have very few people i talk to but intrestingly the two that are ok with me where old school goths.

I don't see anything wrong with goths, they have their own style and way of living. It's really ignorant to say that they're something to be afraid of, though.
