Why is it that out of all subcultures Goths sit around and debate what is and isn't Goth? Who is? Who isn't? What are the requirements? I have listen to numerous Goth panels at Dragon*Con where the issue was debated. One year its ultra Goth to be "so Goth your not Goth" and the next its super Goth to be "so Goth your weren’t Goth last year but now all the Goths are not Goth so you are Goth".
Please don’t take this as an insult, I just wonder why its so important for Goths as a group to keep their identity as a Goth so sacred. If you are you are with or with out saying, and if your not no matter how much you say it your.
There are so many layers of Goth, the aesthetics (my favorite), the music, the dark attitude, and so many layers of each of those. What "layer" of Goth are you? Do you play Goth-er then thou? If so why? If not why?
This is one of the oddest things I have found about the Goth subculture and why for years I would refuse to call myself that. I still don’t like labels per sea but I deal with it because it helps people identify different characteristics. As humans its easier for us to group to understand.
