You can have your opinion-- that's your right-- I don't agree with it, however. I've think that through whatever changes of self I happen to experience in life I probably always will always remain such. It is one of the only things that has never changed about me. I suppose that someone who doesn't have any experience with actually belonging to the gothic subculture and who has absolutely nothing real to base her views of it upon *would* be the one to hold a low opinion. Such people tend to let the Media fill their head with cotton so that they don't have to actually explore for themselves what the subject of their criticism is all about... because it's easier to judge a whole group of people without doing any work to educate oneself. I don't find the need to wander around dissing a group of people for their music or style, though you seem to find in such some sort of reward. If you ask me, *that's* worthy of pity. Gold star for you, annie... > The underlying philosophy is barren... Oh, you think you know what that is? Care to tell me about it? > and an intelligent person can't take it seriously for very long. Not so. I am evidence to the contrary. > I'm certain that you realize that...or WILL realize it, ultimately. Amazing, she can tell me my future too, folks! Your high horse is imagined, annie. Come down from that tree before you fall and land flat on your ass. You've impressed no one by taking such a transparent elistist attitude. You've demonstrated a quaint lack of class for us all. - Talis
