goth

It has been said that the only thing worst than a conformist is the one who conforms to nonconformist standards. In essence, that is what has become of the goth subculture. Originally a sharp reaction to preps and jocks, the goth standard has melted down into a standard that cannot be deviated from. Modern day goths follow the same routine and habits: They listen to metal and death metal music, such as Slipknot and Led Zeppelin; they dress in nothing but black; they wear clothing from the unusual (fishnet) to the bizzare (high-top black leather boots); they have many piercings on their body, including (but not limited to) the eyebrows, tongue, belly-button, and lips; they shop at Hot Topic; they describe themselves as 'twisted' or 'dark'. There are more examples I can think of, but by now, you should have a clear mental picture of what a goth is. We all know a goth; (s)he sticks out like a sore thumb. The goth subculture is burning itself up, because it was originally a reaction to conformism. Now, it has simply creatly a new standard to conform to.

There goes that goth chick, with her leather outfit and mowhawk hair dyed green.

International Superhits!

An album by Green Day that is compiled of their greatest hits - Came out in 2001 - includes hits "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), Longview, and When i Come Around - Doesn't include American Idiot Songs because that album wasen't out then - songs off their albums: Dookie, Nimrod, Isomniac, Warning,

I didn't want to buy all of Green Day's CD's, so I bought International Superhits! so I could listen to their best old songs.
