A NIN soundtrack would do nicely..

Blah.

I think one is born "goth"..there are plenty of people who experience misfortunes/pessimists/lack of joie de vivre etc but not all consider themselves goth.
Or they lack that Weltschmerz-melancholy/artistic taste.

Anyways..when i was a gothling we used to have these discussions, and 15 years or so later the argument still stands.

My guess is people cant be easily categorised, often its easier to make out the differences between two goths than finding the common denominator (imo not even music or dresscode).

TWO!!... Count them... Two allies!... Mwa ha haaaaa... he he he...

*In best billy Joe Bob the Hick voice* Yup.. I can coun'.....
