Gothic may be the label, but it certainly doesn't define us. Our gothic clothing stirs fear in their bellies, and they will never understand our obsession with gothic girls. Open your eyes, and our gothic art will summon your deepest, darkest fears.
Confomists must attempt to label that which they cannot understand. Is it our gothic clothing that make us different? Is it the gothic poetry and movies that serve as our bible? The gothic culture shuts out these closeminded people.
We, the gothic culture sub-culture, attract people that cannot or will not conform. Gothic people shun the mainstream and open their minds. The culture is very open to new experiences and ideas. This evident by gothic clothing, art and poetry. Vampires have shared my bed. I will never be the same.
