I was just thinking, I've seen a lot of good Goth 101, etc. threads in the music subforum here. Maybe someone should make an entire thread in the GAIA forums about every aspect of Goth, the fashion, attitude, subsubcultures, music, etc.
It might help a bit, since barely anyone I meet knows what it is.
I searched goth rock on Yahoo ANswers to find some good bands, and every single question I found was answered with a million heavy metal bands. I saw two answers with actual Goth Rock, and neither of them were chosen as the favorite answer. ><
I also saw a million answers about how goth is just another way for teens to get out their angst, and by time you're 21 you've forgotten all about it. rolleyes
I may only be 14, but I know for a fact that I like the music. XD

Well if I were to make the thread, I would link to his. Mine would be more about the actual subculture than the music, and I would just briefly describe the music.
Mostly I'd help with the many misconceptions people believe about us. I would also get into Industrial Goth, Punk Goth, and all the other subsubcultures.
I'd also get a little into other subcultures connected to, or similar to, Goths, like punks and rivetheads. Possibly also hippies, as there are some similarities.
Most of it would be about the history of Goth, and the bands themselves, more than the music they created. Like I said, there will be a brief description of the music, and I would link to GilAskan's Goth Rock thread. confused
Anyone think I should or shouldn't?

I'd like to work on something like that myself, but the culture is so broad that covering each facet is virtually impossible. 30 some years of history, multiple music genres, dozens of fashion styles, art, literature, comedy, iconography, locales, slang... It's daunting, to say the least.
I'll contribute what I can, if you need any help.

that kind of all encompasing work is really better suited to a webpage rather than a thread on gaia
