This is interesting; new study shows goths are likely to grow up to be lawyers, doctors, and architects: http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4828230.stm

"They won't like me saying it, but their lifestyle, unlike the punk scene, is a middle-class sub culture,'' says Dunja Brill, who carried out the study.

Yes but they are also really annoying.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

Not those I knew! They were also great to role-play with.

Nah the ones I knew we're LARPing and god I hate LARPing. I bleed twenty sided dice.

For those not in the know LARPing is live action role-play, the one time I went they all hung around and tried to pretend they were vampires which is kinda hard with only each other to interact with.
