That's why I try to stick to the parking lots instead of cruising like I used to. People usually aren't there, and the worst you'll get is a security guard asking you what you're doing. Community college parking lots are the best, because then you can just tell the rent-a-cops you're a photography student, and this is for a photography project. About 80% of my photos are from the Eastfield College parking lot, its in between the ghetto and the suburb, so you'll see brand new Jaguars, Corvettes, and Chrysler 300s, parked next to rusty Toyotas and Buicks held together with duct tape. Its great.

Fine, time to have THIS conversation again...

Never been a big Bauhaus fan, Peter Murphy's voice REALLY grates on my ears, I can appreciate his contributions to the subculture, but that voice is just HORRIBLE.

Not familiar with Of A Mesh, Two Witches, or Rosetta Stone, I'll look all of them up later.

I'm a pretty big fan of The Cure, The Cult, and Sex Gang Children, and I can appreciate Alien Sex Fiend and Sisters of Mercy, and The Church is okay.

My gothic music intake mostly consists of Abney Park, Crematory, Fields of the Nephilim, Type O Negative, Voltaire, and London After Midnight (even though Sean Brennan is a MAJOR douchebag and I disagree with everything that comes out of his mouth offstage), and I do like me some Siouxie and the Banshees, every now and then.

And before the thought even crosses your mind, do NOT argue with me about whether Type O Negative is technically gothic music or not. I'm not in the mood, I'm just not.

Now can I please stop having this STUPID conversation with ever other goth on the freaking planet??? Shits getting old.

Just because I don't fit everyone's mold of what a goth should be, just because I don't wear new rock boots, just because I don't listen to Bauhaus constantly, just because I drive a Camaro to school instead of a hearse, just because I criticize people for liking crappy bands like Cradle of Filth and Evanescence, just because I'm not afraid to voice an unpopular opinion and voice it loud, just because I disagree with you, just because I offend you, just because I don't want to buy whatever it is you're selling, just because I voted for Bush, just because I'm obnoxious, just because I'm abrasive, just because I'm conceited, just because I'm not exactly like you and wouldn't fit into your idea of a perfect world, I must not be gothic, I must be a poser.

I mean, really, am I going to have to get Gothzilla and the Suicide Bombers back together and record that album we were gonna do before we broke up, so people will stop having this stupid ass conversation with me? I mean, you wouldn't go up to Carl McCoy and say "I dont think your goth dude, Have you even listened to real goth music", would you?

Fuck this is getting old.
