i dnt wanna b too ova thetop wiv gothic stuff, but then it's up to you, weather you want to do tht. But in my opinion no one on this planet is an individual! we all follow fashion-chav,tart, emo, grunger, gothic-what ever!! So i try to dress like a bit of all. Only mre emo and goth than chav!

Raziel the moRtal Slayer
i rarely wear pants,but when i do, thye happen to be men's goth pants. they are big, black ,and baggy with lots of chains. they r very comfortable and go with many tops, not corsets though. i also heart DAni Filth and Rob Zombie. i heart skullz.

Raziel the moRtal Slayer

Danita
Heylo! im 41 i like cats n tee pots bt im also VERY gothic and i would like to say that im love some of the clothes u have pictures of. thnk u from a mature cheddared woman hu is dating marilyn manson (really i am) xxx

devil assoication
i agree with its not wrong. i'm not a wannabe either, but the pcitures he/she excluded don't seem gothic to me, clothing does count and the ones that aren't inlcuded just seem to have an alternative style which is great if u're alternative but not a goth, usher is the wrong alternative u're better off being a hippy to emmi

Randi Ray
Thank god for this website i've finally found the coolest alternative goth shop and i dont have to shop at oasis alt market which has completely sold out and i see more chavs in there than rockers but oh well

its not wrong
i'm 19.and i'm not a wannabe, goths choose to wear clothes similar to those in the pictures then they're not proper ones, they might dress differently but not confident in dressing gothic all the time, u're the7 yr old townie, and emos and townies are not the same, what music are u into if u know about goths so much, it just seems any thing cna be gothic these based on those pictures i mentioned are not gothic as long they have black hair, goths wear bright colours how pathethic do u get whats next jogging bottoms oh please keep me informed u WANNABE are u sure u're not the goths girlfriend who loves blonde girls

Kat sanders
No i disagree with you that goths have become exctinct, and for all the clothes you've mentioned, which you think is goth, makes you look like 12 year old emo or townie, whichever your preference.

its not wrong
out of all the pictures i viewed, pictures 4,5,6 7, 19, 20 and 21 are gothic, the rest of the pictures are cool for alternatives, ignore my comment about townies i wasn't being serious, just exagateering

its not wrong
its good that goths have become almost extinct in birm in partciular since they seriuosly don' t know how a goth dresses l and even townies are more acurate, there is some good gothic stuff here only out of 23, , pictures 4,5,6,7,19, 20 and 21

wrong
most of the stuff onn ur pictures lk like wannabe stuff and not proper goth this should not be goth but alternative

venus

Kat Sanders
