Man, I would have worn something different to work today if someone had bothered to tell me it was freaking WORLD GOTH DAY. Luckily there is still time to stop home for something black/antique/lacy, pancake makeup, and a blood red lip before bellying up at Lovecraft, my very favorite goth bar, and possibly the only goth bar, in the whoooooole city, where according to their schedule, the night’s festivities will be celebrated with a set from DJ iPod—what… dude, that’s hella not… oh, whatever.

It’s also the 45th anniversary of the premiere of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Coincidence?
Oh yeah, it’s also National Maritime Day, but nobody gives a fuck about National Maritime Day.
Oh come on, no Goth Talk?

bauhaus.
I’m at least 30% Goth, and i’ve never heard of such a thing. Who says – the “World Goth Council”? I seriously doubt that such an organization exists. I thought it was just Tuesday.
Fields of the Nephilim stuffing the ballot box, that’s kinda silly.
@4, Bauhaus is probably the correct answer for any decade, although not my personal pick. The best “goth” bands weren’t really goth, just labeled as such (see: The Cure, at least before they turned into a parody of themselves).
My name is Cat & Beard, and I’m a reformed goff.
She looks cold
It’s about time!
DamosA, you need a job.
I already attend school full time.
@DAMOSA: ATTENDING HIGH SCHOOL IS NOT GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT.
“I’m at least 30% goth”
What a fucking douchebag. You and your labels. Gross.
I still call it Death Rock.
Death Rock is a completely different genre!
Damos you are a fucking idiot.
That was the original designation up until the late 80’s.
And before you try to flame me for not having an account what does it matter?
