It mainly focuses on how most of the people in the goth subculture are from the middle class, and go on to have professional careers. I think they are pretty much right. However,back in the 80's in the subculture, most of the people that I knew were from broken homes and had terrible lives one way or another. I would have to say that about 90% of the people I knew from both the goth and punk subcultures were messed up in one way or another. It seems like these days that that isn't much the case. That is one of my theories as to why the subculture has changed so much. There is now a bunch of self proclaimed goths walking around acting like they have a tough life when they in fact have a good one. I think living a hard life gives you a certain perspective on things that others don't have. Sorry for the babble but I'm high on chocolate right now.
