goth as fuck.
There are no fake goths, this illusion of superiority that people who don't like Marilyn Manson often portray is, IMNSHO, something that helps them feel like they actually have something original and significant in their lives, and that they are more interested in style rather than substance. It's pathetic, stupid, and childish, and is the same attitude to be demonstrated by KKK members, football players, 3|33+ hax0rs, and other such undesirables.
