It seems that Goths themselves have come full circle in this- They will be there dressed in their finest black, each trying to outdo the other in an effort to be noticed.You really need to see the absurdity in why we put on these five "Goth Proms". Firstly, most of us don't fit the "goth" mold. We have geeks, darksiders, punks, posers, festies and others who bunch up at Hard Mondays. If you called any number of them "goth", they'd flinch. And the "prom" nonsense stems from several sources. Most of us are far from high school age, we may or may not have attended our own proms, and we're free from PTA oversight in our decoration choices. We like to see people pull out their finest for the night, sure, but those who go there to be "seen" are as silly as our pairing "goth" and "prom" in the same phrase. Look at this year's event title. It was "Contrivance". When all is said and done, this was a chance to make one night special and lure out more than the usual crowd... and to laugh at ourselves. Don't search for the the deeper implications of the event as it relates to goth subculture. Better to go read a more blogs.]]>5/14/2008 8:48:46 PM2008-05-14T20:48:46+01:00256959http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/61679/1/xml_widget.rss#q225/14/2008 2:01:37 AM2008-05-14T02:01:37+01:00256909http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/61679/1/xml_widget.rss#q21« nickyrocks : Yo, the club I go to is way cooler.

Put yer pistols down.

Here's why I I find Goth Culture (as I know it) to be something of an oxymoron.
At it's center seems to be a desire to distance one's self from mainstream culture, to be different, and to express yourself. Fine.
Most Goths are going for negative attention. Also fine.

I find the irony in an event so celebrated for color, shallow emphasis on fashion, and to see and be seen in complete contrast to whatever values goths seems to prize. (This being the "prom")

It seems that Goths themselves have come full circle in this- They will be there dressed in their finest black, each trying to outdo the other in an effort to be noticed.All fads are based on people trying to be different from everyone else in the same way as everyone else. You aren't cynical about Goths, you're cynical about fads in general; maybe you just don't know it yet.]]>5/13/2008 2:33:17 PM2008-05-13T14:33:17+01:00256612http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/61679/1/xml_widget.rss#q8« CheZ : That's a very close-minded thing to say.

Saw that on one of those "motivational" posters once and it just kinda stuck. :) I know it kinda plays to the stereotype and I'll be the first to admit there are some really (really) hot goth chics out there. But you have to admit, a good percentage of goth women you see fit the mold.]]>5/13/2008 1:23:44 PM2008-05-13T13:23:44+01:00256579http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/61679/1/xml_widget.rss#q25/13/2008 1:14:34 PM2008-05-13T13:14:34+01:00
