Lots of shows have age restrictions, and you're saying you've been involved with the scene since age 11. Now, no offense to the other underage goths here but if there's no clique in your high school, you're not going to meet many like minded people until you're an adult and everyone's comfortable enough in their own skin. And a lot of cliques in high school are just woe-is-me-Amy-Lee-is-goth-right? types.

Seriously, the goth scene here is pretty much also the BDSM scene, and while we do sometimes smuggle in older kids to 19+ shows no one wants to hang out with little kids. Which would an adult be more likely to do? Go to a "goth gathering" where little kids are going to be playing magic cards or an actual show?

So, Ms. Expert, how can you say with authority on a board where most of us are older than you that there are people of colour in the goth scene are rare and don't look good?
