No Darcy, you didn’t come off as rude. Thanks for calling attention to it; I appreciate it. This was just the first time I’ve ever heard of this crazy magazine!

Hey Viv,

Not quite sure how to take that. I’m not goth myself…more “normal consumer female” like you. Well, okay, I will admit to being goth curious but unfortunately I’m not cool enough to be anything but a poseur so I don’t even try.

Sorry if my post came off as rude. If any negativity did seep into my post it was over the factchecking issues, and not over what subculture you do or don’t belong to.

That girl looks like she got all made up only to get smacked square in the face with a water balloon.

Hey Darcy,

Thanks. I went and updated it. As a normal consumer female who has not embraced the Goth culture, I guess I was ignorant of it’s existence for seven years.

Ummm…Gothic Beauty has been around for a while. It’s hardly “new”. The first issue was released in October 2000.

Um, I was a punk/goth in my high school and college days. This was back in the late 80s/early 90s when I like to think it was still cool, but I’m probably wrong. While I did not dye my hair black, I did love the music and dress style, and enjoyed wearing steel toed boots. Those things are awesome. Like everything else, though, it’s been commercialized. There’s no shame in embracing pop culture, or in pop culture swallowing up as much of the non-mainstream as it can. What’s cool anymore?

Meh, to each his own on that front. It’s defintely not original, but whatever they wanna do!

As a reformed Goth myself, I can tell you that 99.9% of the people who call themselves Goth are posers anyway, so it kinda works

I’m with you G.P., my fiancee was around for punk and the “first” Goth fad and it cracks him up to see the kids at the mall who think they’re “unique” while wearing the same crap he wore 15-20 years ago.

In old lady voice “When I was young I shaved my eyebrows and had an almost shaved haired and dyed my hair black. I got a tatoo at the age of 15. Did drugs, listened to all sorts of strange music and had a great time”

I really did not need to have a magazine to tell me how I wanted to be.

It’s so funny ’cause I have a daughter turning 21 this weekend, and she is doing the same old stuff.
I have a great relationship with her and the guy she lives with, although I see her musical tastes changing all the time.

P.S It was called Punk when I was young.
