 You are complicated, and it would be oversimplifying to say you're obsessed with death. You are attracted to the darker side of life, but you're also deeply spiritual. You are curious with the world, and you're probably quite intellectual. You like to study obscure topics. You are likely quite introverted and quiet. You prefer your own world to the world around you. |
There it is, the final blow to the image of gothsters as gloomy, death-obsessed good-for-nothings. I don't look goth, and I wouldn't claim to be one, at least on the outside. Black velvet and lace are beautiful, but not practical for a toddler's stay-at-home mama. (Though I might just spook out the other mamas in playground, when Spawn goes to school, hmmmm...) Smoky eyes are sexy, sultry, perfect... but I'd end up with raccoon eyes within a couple of hours - makeup hates me. I'm too old to frequent goth clubs, even if we had any around here.
On the inside, though... I do listen to old classic goth music (with a preference for metallic or ethereal, though I do industrial and darkwave as well, if the mood strikes) and I know my Gothic novels, capitalised. I love candlelight, play philosophical RPGs like M:tA, explore the more obscure aspects of sexuality and spirituality... and still appreciate a good belly laugh. Embracing the dark does not mean forsaking the light. On the contrary, one needs both to be whole. Whatever colours rule their wardrobe.
