If it is I hadn't noticed ... I mean there are other genres (is that the right word?) that look a bit Goth-ish such as Punk, Emo, Metal, Biker & even some Indie's that people might confuse for Goth. As far as I know Goth is a very specific, Victorian almost vampiric look and I genuinely haven't seen many of them around. Just to give an example (me
) although I borrow bits 'n pieces from the Goth look I also borrow from Punk, Emo, Military and others and I have been told I'm a Goth and I assure you I most definitely am not, if anything I identify with Nu-Metal bands and then not all that much ... seems to me that shows just how much the general public knows about what is and what is not Goth.Talking to one Goth on the net I asked what one was and he said Goths were "Seekers after truth" ... me? I couldn't stop laughing and told him so,.
