AKA The Black as night Goth Meta-Node

Main Goth Nodes: Gothic & Goths & Goth

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    

n.  

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 , of Germanic origin; akin to Old English Gota, and Old Norse Goti, 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.

 

NSRN
Node Shell Rescue Needed

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...
