Most know me for my ability to scribble cats (http://www.twolumps.net) or goths behaving poorly. (http://www.flemcomics.com)

I AM, HOWEVAR, MULTITALENTED!

Just something I scribbled. Pastel pencils, ink, Paintshop Pro.

Und yet another, and I guess I'll stop here for now.

Uh..

Jay may have been dressed in all black, did more drugs than Keith Richards on a friday morning, but methinks he belonged to the MANSON family more than the GOTH!!!

This has been argued before.

I still maintain that there are various flavors of Goth, and both the fictional Jay and the non-fictional I belong to the Psychogoth crowd.

YOU MAY BE A PSYCHOGOTH IF:

- You like to dance to Switchblade Symphony or Wumpscut, but if Slayer or Lamb of God starts playing, you'll gleefully smash through the nearest window and light something on fire.

- You dress in all black, but own absolutely NOTHING with frilly bits.

- You'd rather own a Harley than a Hearse.

- Although you hang out in Goth Clubs, you also jam out at Rockabilly venues.

- You've debated who the better singer is: Burton C. Bell or Andrew Eldritch.

- You've NEVER given a shit about how thin or fat you are, and would rather drink Shiner Bock than Absinthe.

- Although many goths maintain the pacifist stance that violence is never the answer, you believe it can be a really damned GOOD answer.

- You've beaten someone down in the street for saying your eyeliner made you look like a fag.

- You've made damned sure the spikes on your leather clothing are reinforced and functional in a bar brawl.

- You absolutely shun the concepts of "poise and grace" in favor of "having a goddamned good time."

The list goes on and on with me and my friends. (Amusingly, Mel is a very straightforward Classic Goth. Many people have puzzled over the enigma of why she married me, myself included, but I'm just glad she did.)

[Crazeyal]

Yeah..

Had an exostential goth moment meself...

I've never claimed to be anything other than just.. me.. But I HAVE dated Goths..

I guess you can claim a Goth moment when your Ex comes into a friend's house, getting ready for a night's clubbing, and the guy she's with looks better in the stockings than SHE DOES!!!

[Ecchi_Kitty]

I think V:tM LARPing gets you automatic honary membership. For some types of 'Goth' at least...

[jameslgrant]

It gets you an honorary membership in geek circles, but I've never thought of it as a particularly "goth" exclusive pasttime.

[madscott]

humm.. I like that list. I'm not yet familiar with all the bands but would it be ok to trailor a harley behind a hearse?

[Drat-Drat]

What kind of a goth are you if you conform ALMOST all of those statements, but you also listen to rap music? And I dun mean any of that juggalo or "underground" rap, I mean Tupac. Lmao

All goths like rap.

It's a fact.

They love hip-hop. But they never admit it to ANYONE. I have never understood WHY.

[Crazeyal]

Hiphop is kinda..happy?

[Mike Taylor]

Then there's horrorcore rap by guys like the Gravediggaz, Brotha Lynch Hung, and Esham.

[Plunder Down-Under]

Rapcore, punk meets rap? Or Nu Metal, rap meets metal? Or just angry rappers?

[Drat-Drat]

Hiphop is kinda..happy?


...Sure, it's happy. That is of course, if you think someone telling you nursery rhymes about how they want to stab your mother is happy. :lol:

[jameslgrant]

If a goth says they hate rap, put on one of the following tracks:
- Down In It by NIN
- Victim of a Criminal by FLA
- Damned near anything by KMFDM before the NIHIL album

Then laugh at them.

[Drat-Drat]

If a goth says they hate rap, put on one of the following tracks:
- Down In It by NIN

If NIN means Nine Inch Nails, then I had no idea that they were a rap group. o___o

[Leffy]

they're not classified as a rap group per se... but yes that song is ... yeah it crosses many lines.

and and and I GOT TO MEET ESHAM! and i just realized thats who i met when i was 9 years old the other day when i was pulling out my old tapes and shit. i have a tape i remember this guy handing my uncle and gabbing his head off about it. oold ass thing. doesn't play anymore though.

and kmfdm is a fucking trip on all the genres they piss all over. its one of those bands i love to hate. because i can't hate them. its just they get stuck in my head worse then "the song that doesn't end"

aaaand thats the end of my half related babble.

[Plunder Down-Under]

The aren't, but a jazz band can play a rock song.

[Drat-Drat]

The aren't, but a jazz band can play a rock song.

I bet that would sound pretty interesting...Probably closer to Prince than anything.

[Plunder Down-Under]

Well I know Jazz Metal sounds good, so Im willing to give jazz rock a chance.

[Drat-Drat]

Jazz...Metal? Tell me more. o___o

[Plunder Down-Under]

Well as of yet I havent found any jazz metal bands but there are some metal songs Ive found that to me have a very jazzy feel to them.

[jameslgrant]

The music you're thinking of is "Ska."
