    Unless we're talking about actual ethnic goths, it totally is. Who is and who is not a goth is determined by who does and does not call themselves "goth".

    Right, except at a goth club, there are going to be a lot of people who call themselves goths that do the same thing. Piercings, tattoos, not just black clothes but a specific style of clothing, makeup; these are all things that goths have/wear that I don't. There's definitely a sense of "who's more hardcore", even if it's not vocalized. That's the issue; I'm far from hardcore gothwise. I'll be a little more comfortable in the bondage room, though, so who knows.

    I just told her I'd come, so we'll see what it's like.
    If you don't believe Church you're a liar.

    Hehe, I remember that conversation.

    Really, do you? Funny, that, since nobody besides Dynagrip has ever said anything like that to my knowledge.

    Death Metal is not goth

    See, that's the thing, lots of people say it is. And it's difficult to determine whether it is or isn't because the word goth doesn't mean anything.

    VH, just talk/act like Chris Kattan in those old SNL skits. You'll be fine.


    Seriously though, Goths are kindof silly. Most subcultures are, for that matter.

    Hmmm. There's a chance it wasn't you, but I don't know who else it would be. I distinctly remember somebody arguing that not believing what they said meant that we, the nonbelievers, were liars. It was a pretty entertaining conversation if I recall.

    The word goth means something to those who are goths or to those improperly being labeled as goths who do not appreciate being labeled as such.

    It doesn't mean anything from an etic perspective when you're ignorant to the differences between subcultures.

    There is nothing that defines the word "goth" in an objective sense. Therefore it means whatever it is attached to. And from what I can see, the only common denominator between everyone that is labeled or labels themselves "goth" is wearing black.
