Hmm. I wasn't sure how to respond, because I'm not quite sure what qualifies as "goth music" these days. I liked The Cure, The Smiths, Siouxsie and the Banshees, et. al. back in the '80s, but I assume today's goth folk are listening to different stuff.

I guess I've answered my own question. I should have just clicked on "not a goth at all".

Not this one. Perhaps I no longer qualify. Hmmm.

I clicked "not a goth, but I wear black a lot." I could've clicked "but I like the music" too, but like the previous commenter, I mostly like the stuff from the 80s. Some of the current stuff is good, but some of it.... Meh.

I also have a problem with certain folks amongst the "scene" who seemingly can't handle a person with eclectic musical tastes. Yeah, I still love Madonna & Rick Springfield. I also love Dvorak & Tchaikovsky. Queensryche & Dream Theater are amazing. And so on, ad infinitum. Me? I like music. *nods*

Add new option!
I am a Sinatra-goth

[sylphigirl.livejournal.com]

i like that option! and your icon

[green-amber.livejournal.com]

You forgot to include "am not a goth but like hanging around with them/shagging them".

[neriedes.livejournal.com]

don't call myself one really, but everyone else does.

goth means too many different things and there is a difference between having goth traits and identifying as one. i no longer identify as a goth, though i strongly did 16-18. however i still wear and excessive amount of black and like a lot of goth music. tisme, who i would class as more of a goth than me, thinks i wear too much black.

i also listen to blues, jazz, funk, hip-hop, classical, soul, motown and have a tendency to wear non goth clothes too.

methinks its a pointless definition

I should have just clicked I'm a goth, but for some reason I'm in denial.

The kids at school think I am anyway, and they would be the ones to know, right?

*laugh*

- in-denial goth
- ex-goth
- nugoth!

lol

You forgot "I was goth before goth was a word."

[xquiq.livejournal.com]

Well, technically I'm an ex-goth and on the odd occasion I go to a goth club I look suspiciously like one. I am however, most definitely no-longer a goth.

Where's the "I am a goth sometimes, but usually I can't be arsed bothering" ? :p

[andrewducker]

Have I ever seen you _not_ in black?

Ever???

Hey, I've seen her wearing blue jeans and a sort of faded blueish shirt. No black at all there.

Unless she was secretly wearing ubergawth underthings. ;-)

[neriedes.livejournal.com]

I've worn purple..twice and I own a white skirt and one red pair of pants. SEE not all black.

I rarely wear black but I do tend to wear the silks and velvets that are frequently associated with goths. I'm not that much into the swirly goth music but I like it wear it overlaps with the techno-industrial..

[cx650.livejournal.com]

I know I've said this elsewhere, but it bears repeating in this context.

According to my very Goth daughter, I am a "dodgy old biker with Goth tendencies."

[octopoid-horror.livejournal.com]

Where was the "Isn't a goth, but other people (WRONG people) say that you are" answer?

l33t r!v3t n0!z forever, baby!

Re: Goths?

[opusfluke.livejournal.com]

Where's the "I'm a real Goth as I sacked Rome/ Built and designed European cathedrals/ am a Barbarian with a distinct lack of culture" option? Yeah, i wear black. I like the music. But I can prove I am not a Goth- I have actually gone into a shop and proudly BOUGHT albums by bands/individuals such as Hawkwind, The Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Simon The Cyclist (so okay, that was ordered free off the Net but I still love it), Fleetwood Mac (EARLY STUFF! BLUES STUFF!)and I admit to loving Weird Al's stuff. Now are The Damned Goth or Punk? There's a question for you! POst yer rants to me on me log. It beats my infrequent rants...
