It always amuses me when people assume goths are always supposed to be gloomy and wear nothing but black. I know a lot of goths too and pretty much all of them are happy well rounded individuals, far more at peace with themselves than many of the \"mainstream\" people I know. Don\'t confuse \"propper\" goths with the \"mothgoths\", the little kids who are drawn to areas of public seating in town centres in their Slipknot hoodies and badly applied makeup. They give the rest of us a bad name lol Not that I\'m much of a goth any more, but still.
Listening to Maralyn Manson does not make you \"Wonna dem goffiks innit\" lol
Well my very limited exposure to Goth culture has always been a bunch of grumpy kids in black doing there best to look interesting, but not interested in anything. Lot\'s of makeup and general complaining that society doesn\'t accept them for who they are, even though there\'s always a large group of twenty or so milling about. Trying to figure which one of them is going to get smokes for the lot, usually I think.
Glad to hear there are some \"Happy\" goths. I think the youth around here just need some kind of Goth leader to teach them how to goth good and proper.
I still find the thought of a Goth smiling or laughing not computing in my brain. I\'d love to see that every once in a while....
