also, for some reason, Goth music has its roots in 80s disco, such as Depeche Mode and New Order.


yea, discordianism has its origins in 80's disco too.

What the fuck?  Did they have a time machine or something?  I mean, was Tears for Fears playing in 1959?

Well, from my experience in the dealings with gothlings...

ITS SUPPOSED to be something more than superficial, dramatic, snobbish fucktards.

But most just read and listen to music (or pretend to) that is the "cool thing" within that social circle... which i say defeats the supposed original idea of expression of individuality...

just meh, i could ramble about this for a long time.

Its kind of like if 4channers started calling themselves Really Real Discordians.

All subcultures are this disgusting; Gothdom is just more obvious about it.
