Goth's Wan Stamina
by possibly noteworthy at 6:00 am EDT, Jun 14, 2007 |
The gist: Goth obviously emerged from punk, but punk didn't last. The same is true of most subcultures: Hippies are old hat; skinheads have come and gone; grunge is yesterday's news. Why does goth alone remain undead?
Some tidbits: If it suits you, you can be a goth all your life. Taking for granted the misery of the human condition, goth turns depression into an aesthetic, a semi-ironic pose — a perfect style for the awkward and self-conscious.

I like her article, but I think maybe she needs to try to see the economic issues that generally cause people to "turn goth". They're about as constant as if the world actually were a big game of Civilization. |
