Vivaldi was a dude. Classical composer from the *mumbles* century. Pax hominibus should be the goth anthem!

Use gel or wax. Although, vanity IS more important than the ozone layer.

Being a goth is a state of mind, rather than what music you listen to, though by that form, your state of mind dictates what you like in music, art etc.... though i do believe you must percieve what is "taboo" in a diferent light, death, destruction, and the like, all have a beauty to themselvs that is uncomparable, even in this day and age.
i only considerd myself to be a goth recently, though I still don't think I live up to all my own preconceptions and opinions of this group. I do not have suficient self esteem.

"Being a goth is a state of mind, rather than what music you listen to"

I disagree, partially at any rate. If goth were soley a state of mind then there wouldn't be a perky/mopey polarisation. However, I do agree with the beauty, life, death etc statements. They are major parts of the trend, though it cannot be universally characterised by one of these instances. I think the literature and the architecture are the only sections which can be undeniably definate. And inspired by music, art, literature, philosophy, life and death, existentialism/ romantacism/ metaphysics you begin to think in a gothic way. So it kinda goes full circle.

But hey, you shouldn't be stereotyping anyway!

no i shouldn't it's true, but one cannot realy think about groups of people without stereo-typeing. But sill i apologise. and i do agree, to be a goth you do need the ability to think, and the love of thinking, coupled with an enjoyment of some of the darker sides of art/humanity. In my physics classes there are a number who are, at least to some extent goths, not all of them wear black, all of them think, and not all of them listen to the same music.

Myself, I've only got three classes of music: music I like, music I don't like, and "music" that's a travesty and whose perpetrators need to be tied to the core vessel of a fission reactor.

That said, where would you lot put bands like The Cruxshadows, Seraphim Shock, and Bella Morte?

Oh FFS... Goth is not "a state of mind", it's a genre of music...

I can see where the person who came up with this was coming from, I think they were trying to say that listening to goth music and wearing goth clothes does not make you a goth, but all to often people quote the phrase to say that "I don't like goth music, and I don't look like a goth, but I have the goth state of mind"
In other words, it's just an excuse for wannabes to call themselves goths when they obviously have no idea what they're on about.
