  | | I think Cybergoth's a cool image as my opinion on more or less all Gothic fashions! Not my usual choice as it tends to be leaning more towards futuristic and possible modern fashion ideas and i prefer older goth styles. But the tubing and dreadlocks rock!
I think cybergoths are more generally into parties and clubbing but don't won't about conforming just be you!
mmmm i think the best place to get clothes of any type is charity shops, ebay, etc as it is cheaper and a bit more orignal than just buying all your stuff from the usual Goth shops! Not only are Goth shops overpriced but you see at least 10, 00000 other goths in the same thing when down Camden!
Just buy whatever you like the look of and add imagination and possible the odd spike or two!
If your skillful enough with textiles just get some clothing patterns and buy the fluro fabric!
take care xxx

| | I consider myself goth, but don't always dress as 'straights' would associate goth. Sometimes I wear my long RAF trenchcoat ala Captain Jack, Torchwood (especially when it's cold lol!) with black baggy jeans, boots black t-shirts, etc. other times I wear blue jeans biker leather jacket, rock band t-shirts or black sweat shirts/hoodies.
I also listen to a variety of music, though I do go mostly for rock/metal. I listen to country, classical, blues, electronica, reggae, the list goes on...
So if that makes me not goth or pretend goth...then so be it! But I am what I am and I don't care! lol!

| | So called traditional goths, showing predilection for traditional gothic music and bands such as Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy, don't usually do drugs at all.
The violent (?) and doing drugs goths are usually EBM fans who like darker techno music and their dress code is linked to fetish more than to anything else.
This is obviously a generalisation and those two often intermingle but from my own experience, people listening to The Cure, Clan of Xymox, Siouxsie etc, are unlikely to be keen on doing drugs.

| | I have to say as a 24 yr old and i have been a goth all my life (as parents were goths) that this artical makes us sounds like complete idiots!!!!!!!!
Its not about a statement or standing out from the crowd for me personally i LOVE the clothes and hate all these "trendy" clothes and always have done. I love the music and the atmosphere at festivals. Its not about standing out and being different its my life and what i like to wear and listen to 
I am also fed up with people thinking it is to stand out from every one else and i am fed up of people saying im too old to dress like this and shouldnt i have gown up by now. Its not about being rebellious and no im NOT to too old as its not a flamming fashion statement!!!!!!! its life. I will still be wearing these clothes when im old and wrinkly!!!!
About the vilonce this is rubbish. How many papers do you read where its goths that are in fights????? I mean come on open your eyes. I have both gothic friends and "normal" friends and i get along with every one. I like most humans would only get violent if say my daughter was in danger. Im not a violent person and nor are any of my friends or any of the festivals, pubs i have been to is there any violence. You do get idiots come into our pubs on purpose to cause trouble but to be honest no1 gives a toss and they just get ignored. You often find all goths friendly and people miss judge us just because we look different. At the end of the day we are human to we just dress how we want to dress and no one will tell me how to dress just to be liked by people.
When i go to festival or my local rock club it is friendly and everyone is welcome. There is no violence and no drugs. You can talk and dnace with anyone and we all look out for one another...its more like a big family
If people want to know about goths then skip these stupid articles and maybe just for once try talking to one of us!!!!!! Its not about rituals and no we wont bite you we are human beings. Like the phrase goes dont judge a book by its cover
And just for all you out there i will not stop dressing this way!!!!!! lol
