<p>Sometimes, when silence and darkness descend upon the night, I feel a craving, a craving to be dead. I slice my wrist and sign the book of the Black Prince. I accessorize with shiny, metal objects, paint my nails with (shiny) black, and dress in all the leather I can find. At this point I'm ready to venture into my college to communicate with my dead Brothers and Sisters... but all I see are those damn hipsters! What the hell happened to the cool goth kids? Wherever did they go?!</p>
<p>Goth kids were never cool.</p>
<p>you need to get yourself checked into a mental hospital man…</p>
<p>Try harder OP</p>
<p>I never did understand why goth kids get ragged on so much. I’d also like to point out that you’re confusing metal, emo, and goth stereotypes while not accurately reflecting any of them. Fail.</p>
<p>I think goth kids get ragged on because they’re fake… Nobody is THAT depressed ALL the time and just absolutely HAS to show it.</p>
<p>“the black Prince”…I hear ya man, “Purple Rain” is the stuff.</p>
<p>be emo instead of goth. its cooler.</p>
<p>I hate Prince. He took off all his stuff from youtube.</p>
<p>goth is dead

<p>But in the end…it doesn’t even matter!</p>
<p>Goth was to fashion and personal expression what Dadaism was to art. </p>
<p>Then the counterculture became mainstream enough.</p>
<p>An awfully familiar story, repeated since the dawn of time.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>agreed .</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>hear, hear!</p>
<p>You guys have no idea what Goth is. You’re acting like parents who don’t understand there’s more to rap music than what plays on the radio. Not that I’d ever dress Goth, but goth is more than bad makeup and black nails (that’s death metal dress, not goth). See: gothic lolita, which is dominated by bright flowery colours and white.</p>
<p>Of course I know what being goth really is…</p>
<p>It’s a condition of one’s soul, it’s a way of life… It’s not my fault that Wallgreen’s makeup is the only way I can communicate the spiritual within myself to the outer world.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well I draw the line there. Goth is a subculture. That’s it.</p>
<p>Only somebody from the outside can say something like that.</p>

<p>So, WHAT is this thread asking exactly? Are you asking “where are all the college gothic people” or are you asking “why is the occurrence of seeing people in dark/rock-oriented clothing in college so rare”? I’m confused.</p>
