This is just something that occurred to me the other day and i thought would make a good discussion, but i didn't know where to post it then, now i do! whee Music seems such a big part of being Gothic or dark, or a Gloom Cookie, or spooky or however you lot describe yourselves; whether it be the originals : The Cure, The Banshees, the Damned, Theatre Of Hate, Sisters Of Mercy etc or the Finnish bands that hark back those day like HIM, The Eyes, Charon or even the mainstream acts MCR, Evenescence etc. So is it possible to just love the literature, style, and dark nature of being a goth without any interest in the music?
PS. while i can not stop you from doing so, anyone who posts here arguing about the bands i mentioned will NOT get a reply from me...

lola_siannodel It does seem to me that alot of goths at my school determine if your goth by what bands you like. That isn't the only thing that makes a goth though.
When I was at high school, I was called "goth" by the other kids, even though they had no idea what kind of music I listened to. They based it entirely upon my appearance and behaviour. So, I would say that implies it must be possible... and quite common. We hear a lot, about how if you call yourself goth, you're not goth, etc.. It's something other people call you. Other people are not going to stop you in the street to ask, "Say, are you Goth or Emo? Do you prefer Bauhaus to MCR?" Judgements are made off of superficial impressions as well as deeper things, such as taste in music. So I feel you can be counted as goth without listening to the music... whether you can be goth without listening to the music.... hehehe, well, the day they write a manual on how to be goth, I plan to not be it.
