    Gothic culture


    You consider it a full-fledged culture? To me it just seems like a phase that some people don't have the good grace to grow up out of.

      But just because I do not understand something, does not mean that I am going to attack it or berate it.

      If you understand Gothic culture for what it is, and then decided this is how you feel, that's cool.

        Yes! Persecute the Goths!

        Let's face it- they'd love it, wouldn't they?

          I'm just using your remark as an excuse to berate it...

            I mean that they attack and plunder your city with their small horses raping all the women.
            Their small horses were doing what to the women?!

              That's right, ruin the joke, right, ruin the joke, right, right.

                I am NOT ruining the joke.

                Just dragging it out and kicking it a few times. That's all.

                  I would think the Goths would rape the horses and make the women watch?

                  And I like Marylin Manson too .

                        Turn your backs on the Goths for one moment, and the next thing you know, they'll be sacking Rome!

                        BTW, Maralyn Manson makes damn fine music.

                          There were a lot of things in human history that were carried out by other humans that no one thought could happen.

                            i'm goth.
                            you all know me.
                            my favorite musician is marilyn manson.
                            i'm already persecuted
                            and i go to private baptist university although i'm atheist.
                            in addition, no one has been able to clearly define goth either. is it dress? is it dress plus a belief? does it include wiccans? and what if the wiccans wear "normal" clothes? HOw do we separate it from punk? does it mean anyone who dies their hair black? but what about asians with naturally black hair?
                            there is no clear cut definition of goth.
                            i'm assuming there will be a judicial review of this law soon, as it violates scores of amendments.

                            and then:
                            would you persecute me???

                                I'm not goth, I've never quite gotten into it.
                                I'm a metallist, though, and goth culture is somewhat close to my heart. This is why I get so mad every time I hear something like this. We all know how metal bands (and metal / goth / other subcultures) are constantly blamed for being evil, satanic, etc...

                                In Finland we have only one festival totally dedicated to metal music - Tuska ('Pain'). Of course, some religious (and other...) loonies are all the time preaching about it being evil - last year there were some people with banderolls saying "Satan has come to Helsinki!" outside the festival area... and there was one "document" (well, wasn't very documentary, some marginal media bullsh!t) labeling it as the "festival of blood, violence and evil".

                                In reality, Tuska has been arranged 4 times so far (5th this summer), and yet (to my knowledge) not a single crime of violence, crime against property or drug offense has been reported. And every year we've received praise from the local police for peaceful festivals. This is extraordinary. Well, I saw one act of violence there last year; Some loonie (one of the banderoll-people) threw a bucket of water on a metalhead who just happened to pass by. So much for the christian tolerance...
