AKA The Black as night Goth Meta-Node
Goth is a subculture, a literature form, an architectural movement
and a bunch of pre-Germans all of which are significate of goth... quite a big job for such a little
word.
Goth

A member of a Germanic people who invaded the Roman Empire in the
early centuries of the Christian era.
(From
Middle English Gothes,
Goths, from Late Latin
Goth ,

History and Literature
WIG*
One of the most popular goth topics... Strangely connection to anything
else baring the same name is often over-looked.
Music
Lets face facts what ever gets included and whatever gets discluded it will always be wrong for someone.
well excuse me all to hell - a big list of bands that needed adding. also
available in gothic music...
As Has been said already this list does not work as Goth Band is a fan concept anyway.
Once rescued please feel free to let me know.
Topics for consideration when writing for or about goths are the lesser know
facts: almost all goths love cats, the goth scene has a huge count of the most fantastically
sexy females, and finally: "True goths" never admit to it (!)
You will of course find that this is sometimes total BS... that's life.
Oh My Goth
A good friend of mine tells a particularly amusing story of a time he and a few other travvled on the london underground to a major goth venue (
Gossips Trad-night if I recall), they were feeling a bit hyper and loud that night and on spotting a really big crowd of goths further along thought to shout out: "
GOTH!
Goth! goth! -
Look at all these goths.
Oh My Goth I'm getting verti-goth!". With the result that all the goths ran away.
With that and less in mind it is with great
mopigothiness that we give you a tiny section of anicdotal goth related 'things'... yeah, whatever...
