The Innocence of Goth

We believe in enjoying the darkside. We believe in vampires, zombies, and other fun monsters. We believe in pagan music and devil rock, and we think goth chicks are hot.
These days the poor gothic kid is misunderstood and maligned. It's not goths who are going crazy and shooting up schools, the lines of distinction have been blurred. The school shooters are METAL kids. It's a new form of metal, but it's metal all the same, you can smell the testosterone. A goth kid could never shoot anyone, he'd be too sad. Nobody who listens to the Smiths could ever hurt anybody. (If you don't count suicide)
I wish we could go back to the days of innocence when a goth kid listened to Bauhaus to feel superior, and later would curl up in his bed with a well worn copy of Sylvia Plath and dreamily count the days to Ian Curtis' death anniversary so he could go to school wearing even more black than usual. Ahh sigh.
