Get the Goth mug.Forget the meaning of life!
The real question is,what are goths?!
As a goth girl even I’m confused about this.
Well.Here’s a list of everything we are not.
1)Vampires
2)Freaks
3)Satan Worshippers
The most popular belief is that goths are people that wear black all the time and listen to bands such as Bauhaus,The Cure,Siouxie and the banshees.Those are some good bands that you should listen to btw.
A lot of goths are like that.But sometimes it’s different.There is pastel goth and cyber goth and etc.
The other thing is,no goth band or musician actually thinks there goth,it’s just that the gothic community has sort weaseled them in to goth because we like their music.
And yes,we can actually feel happiness,contrary to popular belief.

Get the Goths last hope mug.One of THOSE members of society. You can tell her from a crowd by her black lipstick and Nightmare before Christmas LoungeFly backpack. Something villain-related also helps.
