Geek Cruise

Hallo.. These people are Not Goths, they are all conventional normal 'geeks' trying to be something they're not.

First of all.. anyone who calls themself a goth is not a goth,
gothness is not a "costume" it's part of a (goth) person's melancholic nature and worldview.

Goths do not behave like hysterical loudmouthed american louts or clowns, they are sullen softspoken and dignified, often antisocial and misanthropic, and never hyperactive, unlike the shameless oafs depicted in "Goth Cruise".

Goth is from the start a North European subculture, which only North Europeans can legitimately claim as a native subculture, the rest of the world are pretenders masquerading in a superficial gothic facad, often Entrepreneurs trying to cash in on Goth fashion, art and music.

True Goths cannot disguise themselves as "ordinary people", since their whole being exudes a dark radiation which can be spotted a kilometer away, regardless of clothing.

Crossdressing is not a part of Goth, crossdressers are part of the BDSM subculture and not Goth, in spite of wanting to be a part of the Goth scene
because they seem to admire the fashion, Drag Queens are better suited to Gay Pride Parades than Goth gatherings.

Crossdressing is simply Not Goth! Heavy Metalers and Rockers are Not Goth, People who wear Military Camouflage Fatigues are Not Goth, Satanists are Not Goth (Goths are Atheist) Hairy People are not Goth (Goths have hairless clean shaved bodies), and Hysterical Louts who jump about shouting "Look at Me.. I'm A Goth and a Big Freak!" Are Not Goth. No self respecting Goth would behave in such an undignified manner.

Victorian period clothing is the most suitable for Goths since the term "Goth" comes from the 19th century melancholic movement in Gothic Literature.

Goth has nothing to do with Mediaeval Visi-Goths of the middle ages,
and those who parade around in armour or chainmaille are just making themselves look like complete dorks.

In short.. Goths are born Goth, they do not "Become Goth".

The term Goth is more of a convenient label used by conventional people as a generic taxonomy.

Goth music is not a "Genre" or a sub-genre of "Rock" music.
Genre is a marketing tool invented by the Record Industry to target sales.

Goths reject the concept of Genre, and Goth music is a free artform
with the only common feature being melancholic.

Upbeat music is not Goth, The Cure and Souxie and the Banshees are not Goth, they are Postpunk Pop with a Gothy Stage Image made popular in the early 80's by the Batcave club in London, and the band Bauhaus.

Batcave was never Goth, it was an upbeat postpunk subculture.

The Goth subculture evolved as a consequence of the dark image of Batcave,
Goth is never upbeat, it is slow and sorrowful as a funeral procession.

Those who are not Goth - Just Don't Get It.
