Need to write more nanowrimo. Am currently listening to a Radio 1 doc on goths, narrated by Tony Head. Most amusing. I know goths better than most. Personally (apologising to most goths I know) - I'm sorry, but this is really what I think - they're sad.
Goth is a case of teen angst that people take up as a uniform when they rebel against the status quo. I hear them going on about 'We want to think for ourselves, blah de blah'. Bull. Shit. You all end up looking exactly the same and listening to the same music. You go from rejecting the cookie-cutter clone of perky and high street to embracing the cookie cutter clone of black lace, spikes, rubber and velvet.
And don't even get me started on the poetry, music, or Anne Rice.

I think being actually original in clothing, whatever 'genre' you feel you're in (or at least vaguely near to), is pretty much impossible. I don't really care if what I wear is stunningly original and unique (hah), or the same as every other person. I'll dress how I want, preferably in clothes that make me go "oooh, I want!". Er, and in jeans. Yes.
