I guess my opinion is that both matter just as much - although I can relate more to being a goth with just the music and not SO much fashion atm.

It basically means 'don't mess with me' for the society. When I see someone else like me, I mostly know he/she could have similar opinions and if you talked to them, you could really understand each other very well.<br /><br />You're absolutely right about the personality, because.. I think you can feel it from another goth/metalhead/.. that he really is something what he say he is.<br /><br />With regard to Cure songs, that's totally true! :D Sometimes it's just amazing, when you're watching movie and suddenly you hear the melody by which you're sure you know it and when you google it, it's how you thought - Cure, Siouxsie or some else :DOculushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15312800627195741360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342992335835058617.post-13982174266827628922013-06-27T19:54:45.341-07:002013-06-27T19:54:45.341-07:00Ah!

Since 70% of bats are insectivores and almost 30% either eat fruit or drink nectar (not including the three vampire species), it's most likely that vampire bats are actually descended from an insect-eating ancestor. However, given that goths are deviant from the mainstream to begin with, they could have conceivably descended from the alternate 30% group, which includes fruit bats.<br /><br />(I'm trying to type this without laughing, but it's not working very well...)Lucretiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489662765492879926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342992335835058617.post-19826733341650613502013-06-27T09:39:23.933-07:002013-06-27T09:39:23.933-07:00Not vampire bats?

It is an accepted fact among goth academics that, while punk did actually evolve from apes (specifically hamadryas baboons), goth evolved from fruit bats, which is the reason The Bat Cave was popular as a goth gathering place for so long. ;-)Lucretiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489662765492879926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342992335835058617.post-51371837896938401642013-06-27T02:44:27.173-07:002013-06-27T02:44:27.173-07:00It's funny that everyone, myself included, alw...It's funny that everyone, myself included, always says "it's an argument that will probably never be won". Since, I can picture one day someone saying something so blatantly obvious that changes everything and makes the argument completely non-essential and redundant. :3 We'll all be left saying "OHHH, MAN.

Maybe because I know some goths, who don´t really dress the part, but just because they don´t really lool like goths, I wouldn´t say, they aren´t goths. But I think it´s both - music and fashion together. For some 50:50, for some 20:80 or 80:20...<br />Without the music it´s just...don´t know how to say it... I know some people (but mostly from internet) who say, they are goths but only listen to metal. For me they are metalheads. I don´t mind if there is some goth music on playlist, than that´s okay, but only metal and saying, that they don´t like goth rock (or other related genres)...for me it´s something completely different. <br />But of course I don´t say, that goths can listen only to goth music. That would be stupid :D I personaly like other genres too, like punk,metal, j-rock, classical music and many more.<br />So, for me, the music is the main "glue" that holds the subculture together and fashion comes right along.
