Goth(s): Classic or Dud

- What I admire about that 'gothopotamus' person upthread, and the other person in the photo, is that the look transcends what they've got to work with physically. There's a dark, glamourous ideal that they're going for, and, whether or not that's a good ideal, the devotion to it against all the odds (short fat male w/ eyeliner for example) is surely Classic.

- Mystery and imagination are precious even in their most degraded forms, true/false

- Goth doesn't age well VERSUS why the hell not be 32, pushing your kid in a pram, wearing a black top hat and army boots

The older I get the more I appreciate sullenness and misanthropy.
