If you got it from the Labels Sticky, this is pretty much just a double post....
neutral

Many of these could apply to any artsy intellectual type, really.


Not a double post. A misinterpretation.

If you read the labels sticky and that post, you should have also read:

"This is a list of common traits, not requirements... note: individual traits are characteristics will vary from goth to goth. One doesn't have to have every trait on this list to be a goth; in fact, one could have only very few and still be considered a goth. Likewise, having one or more of these traits doesn't essentially make someone a goth."

Its NOT a goth check list. These are just traits goths share, not essentially things that make you goth.

Goths also tend to be white [caucasian, that is]. Being white does not make you a goth, and not being white does not prevent you from being one. The list is like that. Traits I've observed as being common amongst goths. Not a check list, or a way to validate yourself as being part of the culture.

I really agree with this. I am not completely white (mixed mutt lmao) But I think that I am goth ( not full fledged though).

It's not a quiz. A misinterpretation.

Someone (the thread starter) took my article on common goth traits in the labels sticky, and forced it into the vague framework of a false quiz.

If you read the labels sticky and that post, you should have also read:

"This is a list of common traits, not requirements... note: individual traits are characteristics will vary from goth to goth. One doesn't have to have every trait on this list to be a goth; in fact, one could have only very few and still be considered a goth. Likewise, having one or more of these traits doesn't essentially make someone a goth."

Its NOT a goth check list. These are just traits goths share, not essentially things that make you goth.
