it never ends! Home Page: "'They were proud, self-proclaimed members of the Gothic Movement, and like the students involved in yesterday's shootings, focused on white extremism and hate.'

A Study of Gothic Subculture - What Is Gothic? - Origins of Gothic
Can you say: summed up? - A Study of Gothic Subculture - What Is Gothic? - Origins of Gothic: "First and second generation Goths look suspiciously upon the new generation, doubting their authenticity and disliking the exposure they give to a subculture which would prefer to remain underground. The new generation is not presently well received by their elders, but time may prove otherwise. It would be difficult to predict what the future holds for the Gothic movement. After over 20 years, it continues to change, grow, mutate and adapt, making it one of the longest surviving youth subcultures in existence. "

The Goth culture: its history, practices, stereotypes, religious connections, etc.
Here is a site that is possibly astounding in it's grasp of the Goth scene - written by a main-stream Christian leader!
It's true, I swear, (the guy did research) - The Goth culture: its history, practices, stereotypes, religious connections, etc.: "'Black trench coats are a consistent theme in the Gothic subculture that has attracted many teenagers to the poetry, music and costumes of a scene that ranges from benign fantasy to violent reality.' "
Required reading for all on-line Goths.

Todays text quotes come from: goth.net
π This is a secret link! Dark Secret 
It seems to me that it might be an idea to remove the need to banter endlessly on the subject of WIG*
"Many stereotypes of goths exist these days. It seems everyone has their own way to define 'what is goth'. From the stereotypes based on clothing to music right up to the stereotypes of all goths being satanists or part of some kind of cult. Categorically, all of these are false."
"However because of this rejection from 'normal' society, goths have banded together to associate with other free thinkers."
Now that is cleared up perhaps some Free thinkers can flood the comments box on the subject.
This is the sound of pain: Ouch!
*WIG: What is Goth.
