What do you want to know?
It seems traditional for certain questions to be asked (and answered) on all the goth(ish) pages I've seen. And since I myself do get asked these questions from time to time I thought I'd give my own answers to them. (Well it fills up some space doesn't it.)
What is goth?
Now this is a bit of a tricky one. Quite a few people seem to believe it revolves solely around wearing a lot of black clothes. This however is not the only requirement. Indeed I know several people who dress in black a lot yet are somehow just not goth. In fact it is my firm belief that in fact it is purely a state of mind which defines our particular subculture. Well, thats my rant, disagree if you like.
Any good advice for applying make-up?
Hmmm, try 'practice.' Oh and one other thing, try not to draw on your eyes with eyeliner, it hurts.
Why do so many goths dress up/act like Vampires?
Oh and how many vampires do you know to make this comparison?? (Alright so I only put this question in because I thought it was such a snappy answer!)
So what's a goth code?
So often when you meet someone you find yourself asking the same questions such as where they come from, what they do and (among some goths) what sort of vampire they are (*sigh*). The code fulfils the purpose of coding all this frequently sought information in to a short space. They are, so I'm told codes for other sub-cultures too.
Where can I get one?
Funny you should ask. The links on the last page.
Is it really true your best friend is a raven?
Stop being silly.
Since you claim to know all about The Craft will you teach it to me?
Oh, yes of course. Simply buy my new book 'All You Could Ever Want To Know About The Occult.' (RRP £24.99) and all will be revealed. (Sorry I am Sarkygoth you know.) And I NEVER claimed to know all about The Craft, that would be pure arrogance.
So I can't really buy your book then?
If you even considered looking for it (for any reason other than because you know me) you have less intelligence than a glass of water.
Do you think pink will be the new black?
What's wrong with the old black?? Look, if it ain't broke don't fix it. We don't *need* a new black. I think my opinion of pink is quite clear.
So, DarkSteve, why DARKSteve?
Because its not a *proper* web site unless the author takes a silly, over pretenious name is it??
Is something mystical and magical going to happen at the end of this year?
No. Lots of people will drink a lot and make lots of noise and then realise just because the year has lots of zeros in it doesn't make that much difference. If it was my magical goings on you were enquiring after you're way ahead of your time.
