Coming out of the Casket

[Lady_Tenebrae]

I came out of the casket in ohh sophomore year of high school. I'd been wanting to "go goth" for a while, as I'd always loved the style growing up. So I pretty much said "the hell with it" and when my mom and I did my back to school shopping we did pretty much all of it at Hot Topic lol. I gradually became more and more learned in the goth culture, researching it online and buying books etc. I made a transition from mainstream rock and metal to goth rock (so much better) and found more places to buy my clothes.

I was wearing all black and listening to The Cure, Switchblade Symphony, Siouxsie, Bauhaus, the Cruxshadows, and even Dead Can Dance when I was 8, geeze. If that's what you want to call goth, just a fashion and the music you listen to, then I've been Goth since 4th grade, and found the term for it 3 years later.

Of course, my fashion sense has upgraded from a t-shirt and jeans in elementary school, but that's expected: I'm 19 now. XD

However, if you want to go into the introspection aspect of it all: everything is beautiful in the shadows. It's when things are brought into the light that you see how ugly they can be. That's goth for you, if anything can be said for it.

And therefore, kiddos(and I don't give a damn if you're older than me), my casket was the womb, and I came out of both at the same time.

Just so you know, cockroaches are cute.

Lazarus The Resurected

I move to coin this phrase. i'm fed up with the words"i became a goth..." goth is in the heart and thus we have as far as our memory goes always been goth. but to come out can describe when one first started dressing the part.

I agree

From the moment that I picked up my first Marilyn Manson album, I knew it.
A lot of people can't exactly classify the kind of rock that he plays, but you can't help but look at him at first and think "goth".
Too many people say that he gives goths a bad name, and thus that is why so many deject him as so, but his message is clear: nonconformity.
His views are a lot like my own, and in saying that I am pledging that I am a goth in the heart, and in the soul. mrgreen

Manson isnt goth
