Goth is about being a huge poseur who wears black all the time and most of the women are extremely fat.

Big hair and gaudy jewelry. :D

There isn't a Philosophy. It's just a type of music with a style of fashion attached to it. It's not affiliated with any religions, has no goals, and promotes nothing.

Like most other kinds of music in fact.

Fun though.

Also, what the fuck's fucking fuck-fuck spawned the word gothicism?

Bro.
Its Conan aka BROnan.

From Dictionary.com:
Gothicism

1. The use or imitation of Gothic style, as in architecture.
2. A barbarous or crude manner or style.

I believe that the plant in this video is a closet goth.

Sometimes the extreme lack of goals makes me cry in the closet with a plant. Other times I just do it because it is fun.

Let us not forget the worship of Peter Murphy and Siouxsie Sioux, whilst listening to Rozz Williams and Christian Death. And bats. Plastic bats.

Andrew Eldritch is also the biological father of all Goths.

honeythorn 06-24-2012 03:22 AM

No! That cannot be true! Don't destroy my dreams!

Joke about height goes here

Catch 06-25-2012 11:32 AM

What? He is of an average height for men at 5'9." That's not funny. I'm about 5'8" and sure there is no coincidence.

Timeless Rebellion 06-26-2012 05:28 AM

I am still looking for whatever the fuck spawned the word gothicism so I can kill it with fire :P
