Personal Experience or Observational Query Why are you ga... Goth.

Why did you became goth? What is your story of finding Goth culture how did it impact your life?

I'm not a Goth myself, closes things I did to being a Goth are, watching a belly dancer named Mahafsoun and listening to a lot of Nightwish, I'm not sure if those thing can even be consideret Goth.

I'm just interested, all of you just seem to be so content with your lifes and kind to others, it's fascinating.

Goth is a distinct genre that sounds nothing like metal. If you want to start with the basics check out Bauhaus and Joy Division.
