Ok, so what is a goth? I don't know, I'll leave it for you to figure out by perusing some of of the links on A Page Past Torn. Suffice to say, I don't consider a categorization of any culture to be a limit on what one does. Rather, it's a "best fit" type of rule. For instance, I like certain music, I like to dance at certain places, sometimes I dress in a certain way (and different ways at different times.) Much of that happens to fit into a grouping of characteristics known as "Goth." But, I also dislike smoking, and caffeine which are prized above all else in this particular culture. But it bores me.

NEWS: I have formally tendered my resignation as a Goth and I'm now a fully vested, baggy pant wearing jungle/rave boy.

for the cynically impaired: this page is sarcastic.
