Not much difference between an employer who slams the door on some kid cuz he's got black nail polish, tattoss and a pierced lip and some goth who tells some girls she's persona non gratas because she's missed a few of the requirements to be a real goth.
Anybody who feels a need to be branded or brand others 'authentic' by any group, goth or otherwise, is pathetic. Teenagers of course get a pass, that's part of adolescence, it's pathological.

Thanks for the long-winded speech Mutt, but there's no need to get all defensive and stupid about it. Really and truly... I was just asking a question. Why? Because I thought since you were tossing the term "goth" around that maybe you had a clue what you were talking about. That's all.
I'm not sure what brought on the rest of it.
