Are there *ANY* Goths left on KB ?

[Ixion]

Just asking. that's all.

[scissorhands]

I think they are called EMO's now. Usually a few in Queen St.

Helmets would be unkind to the hair do's?

From Wikipedia
The Toronto goth scene, the cultural locus of the goth subculture in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the associated music and fashion scene, has distinct origins from goth scenes of other goth subcultural centres, such as the UK or Germany. Originally known as the "freaks", the term "goth" appeared only after 1988, when it was applied to the pre-existent subculture. Distinctive features included internationally recognized gothic and vampiric fashion store 'Siren'[1], a goth-industrial bar named 'Sanctuary: The Vampire Sex Bar'[2], and Forever Knight, a television series about an 800-year-old vampire living in Toronto. In Toronto, the goths did not seek to reject mainstream status, and achieved partial acceptance throughout the mid to late '90s, and in 1998 Toronto was reported to have a higher concentration of goths than any other city in the world.[3] The goth subculture faced public suspicion and the local goth scene declined[4] after allegedly goth-related acts of violence, the Columbine High School massacre[5] in particular.

[Madmax]

[Ixion]

Goths is *not* emos. I know emos, and I know goths. Two very different creatures.

[rustic101]

If they are hot single and willing I do not care if they are a Goth or an Emo, hell I would even settle for Elmos sister

[Ixion]

[Pussy]

Just asking. that's all.

With NO disrespect, Les..... who bloody cares??

[Ixion]

*I* care .

I think Kiwi culture has turned....with the embracing of pacifica, different sub cultures have emerged to replace the old ones like 'Gothic'. But penetrating beyond the look and goth hairstyle, I found them to be kind and thoughtful people, raging out when the apple pie bullshit was really doing their head in. K Road has the 'Misery' scene, and tattooed kids on BMX bikes, seems to be a replacement of sorts

What ever happened to 'greasers'? They are sort of like The Ramones I think, or rockers probably

One girl downstairs from me would be a modern goth, though she would not use that label, I'd say.

CC rider has one in her signature....

You can tell an emo by the way they walk,Goth's seem to walk pretty normal.Perhaps if the Goths perfected a special walk they may get a bit more acceptence?

[Ixion]

Well, it's not a matter of acceptance. They just seem to have disappeared. I just don't see goths around any more.

emo's yes. Goths, no.

[rapid van cleef]

I was in a goth band in the 80s. we had smoke machines, lots of gigs and an album and everything! a bit cringeworthy now, but at the time, i loved it!

[Motu]

Yeah,don't see them around much anymore.I think it's all about walks these days....you can tell what ''class'' of person is coming up as you watch them walk,even before you see the special clothes.I'm trying to get my walk perfected....sort of a stiff left hip and weak right knee thing.

[Pussy]

Yeah... they look like they're trying to chew a Mintie with their arse.....

[Mikkel]

*I* care .

...the goths don't care if you care, unless you are a goth too. (Isn't that how it works?)

[Winston001]

Just asking. that's all.

Ixion,........mmmm how shall I put this in a kindly non-threatening way.......




YOU ARE TOO BLOODY OLD TO BE A GOTH!

Give it up man, it won't work. Get a hairpiece with a ponytail and you'll do "old hippie" just fine. Pair of Levis, tie-dyed shirt and leather boots. There y'are!! Sorted.

[gilly]

Wanna see Goths . . . visit us at Spookers.

[LBD]

cc rider is not a goth......

[kave]

You still spot the occasional goth on K road. They seem to be getting almost as rare as punks these days though. Definitely a far cry from the goth heyday of the mid to late nineties.

There's always Phil Goff.
