I must admit that I don't fully understand "goth culture/counter-culture", though it's always intrigued me. I am, however, under the impression that rebellion ~ either actual or perceived ~ is a key element that most goths share. If so, I wonder: are goths rebelling against tradition or convention?
Or, perhaps, is goth culture not idealistic at all ~ being simply an amalgamation of a specific set of romantic/dark aesthetics?
Please enlighten me...
