- Indeed.
- So here am I a 19 year old student in Trinity College Dublin...
- I don't claim to be listening to Gothic Music longer than anyone else or anything.
- I started with Joy Division about 4 years ago and have since
- gotten into Bauhaus, Fields of the Nephilim, Sisters, Xtian Death etc..
- in that order. So.. am I now a teeny goth who doesn't 'understand the movement'???
- I love the music, imagery etc.. and have been known to wear 'colours' occasionally as a change from the beautiful black,
- but I consider myself a goth, and don't care what anyone else thinks.
- Yes its overused... But maybe that's because there are a lot of Goths.
- I think your statement relates back to that
- @I'm more Goth than you thing@ that can be quite sad.
- Oh well... That's about it from my flame.
