Gothic isn't just black dresses of silk and crimson walls and black hair. Goth is attitude. You know vampires are rated 'Gothic', but everyone knows that. Just because you draw a vampire doesn't mean you're a goth. It means you drew a vampire. I say alot of 'goths' are wanna-be's. Real goths listen to gothic metal, they find a beauty in death, not being they want to die, but they just find a wonderful beauty in it, crimson, black, and dark purple are 'primary' colours... But that's modern goth. I would go all oldschool, but it's pointless.

Stop getting the idea in your head that goth is black and white makeup like a domino and black clothing. Besides, labels suck and the term gothic originated from a German group, I believe.

Now, if you don't know what lugubrious means, go look it up. It's not perverted, I'll say that and leave the rest to your own minds.

Now, question me, and since my mood is rather raw... no comment.
