- Ah, but this is the beauty of goths. Most subjects that are in 'normal' society are freely discussed and debated
about. Death, religion, magic, mysticism, and many other topics that are only roached carefully outside of the gothic community.
Most goths have realised that fear is only a reaction instilled in us, and once you realise there is nothing to fear from
the topic, whats to stop you discussing it?
- Goths often revel in the fear given to them by society as a whole. Often the behavior exhibited by society to
them based on society's perception of them from stereotypes, rumour, etc are a constant source of entertainment. Of course,
most of the rumours are totally unfounded, goths are people like everyone else, however when you already have a reputation,
going for the shock factor is often far too tempting to see how much society at large is willing to believe (or deduce) with
only a little encouragement.
- This does not totally fall away once you get inside the scene unfortunately, and goths are all too often tempted
to try for the shock factor within the scene (which turns out more tacky than shocking). Goths when you get down to it can
be a rather pretentious bunch, trying for those extra 'goth points' on the gothier than thou scale, but it adds to the enjoyment.
