The Art of Moping..
To mope is one of the goth's weapons. Moping to a goth
is like eating grass to a cat. The cat can see that you
are concerned that it is eating grass, so it continues to do
so. Something like "hahah you look worried now".
Moping to a goth is something that seems to concern various
people quite a bit.
Where to mope
Moping should be carried out infront of people who know you
for maximum effect. Places to avoid are where you are
likely to get beaten up for being a goth (that would be anywhere
that does RnB, pop concert - you know what I mean) oh and
anywhere where people will take the piss out of you.
Degrees of Moping
Moping can be graded on a scale of 1-8.
| 1 |
Slightly bored with the environment and
the situation |
| 2 |
Really bored, needs to have questions
repeated twice. Answers yeah to everything. |
| 3 |
Boredom changes slightly to a blank vacant
look. Answers questions with a grunt. Starts mentioning
that everything is boring. |
| 4 |
Vacant look, starts writing depressing
song lyrics. Seeks other mopers. |
| 5 |
More depressing song lyrics. Has a
moping competition with other mopers |
| 6 |
Wins moping competition. |
| 7 |
Gets kicked out of the goth group because
you are too depressing. |
| 8 |
Coma. |
Moping for productivity!
Yes you can be a productive moper. You can write a lot
of depressing song lyrics, and sell them to various talentless
local bands who think they are going to be the next Manson. You
may not get a lot for the lyrics, but you may get a beer or two
out of them.
Moping lyrics
Good moping lyrics are something like "I am too bored to
live, but too scared to die" and "I watch the rain
pour away all my hopes". If you are feeling adventurous,
you could try writing a load of music to go with it. Stick
with the minor key.
