I quite agree .... :shock:
(although I do have rocker tendencies in terms of music so i guess that answers that!)

Bleako! Then I personalised it and became some strange hybrid between bleako and Punk.
Where the hell was the goth stuff when I was young enough to wear it?!
Although, next time I wear that black dress, I`m not poncing about in stupid little sandals, if my daughter ever manages to get a pair, I`ll be wearing her new rocks with it! :mrgreen:

I used to be a goth/rocker
I had a different hair colour every other week; pink was my favourite with purple in second place and blue in third place! I dressed in too much black and had enormously baggy jeans with chains on! Used to do the friday all nighters in "Jillys rockworld" when I was only 15! Monday night at the "Ritz" Manchester.
ahh the good old days! lol

born and raised in Goth central! what do you reckon? never did get the hang of backcombing though, so have to say it weren't a great look for me!

Goth can be very sexy if done right.
My daughter does it right surprised

Ahhhhhhhhh Nostalgiaâ€¦â€¦â€¦
I was one of the original Mods, not only that but lived on the south coast (Bognor) and used to go to Brighton (Ya must all remember Quadraphina), as it was the place to go then!!
I had the 1/8th inch bovercut, the parallel Levies, the Ben Sherman, the narrow red braces, the LI 150 series III slimstyle lambretta (later the SX200) and as many mirrors and spotlights that you could fit without the additional weight causing it to stall!
The trip from Bognor to Brighton and back used to cost 1â€™s and sixpence in two stroke (mixed at 25 to 1)â€¦. God the memories come flooding backâ€¦.
Weekends were just one long partyâ€¦. In the summer usually held on a beachâ€¦ just turn up with a flagon of Woodpeckers or a Red Barrel Party Seven and the world was your Lobster! When the beach bonfire got low we would just throw on another beach hut or twoâ€¦ The smell of the leaded paint as it melted and burntâ€¦. Mmmmmmmm.
Never did get into the media exaggerated trouble, in fact I can only recall ever twice fighting, and got the shit beat out of me both timesâ€¦. Once by a group of Rockers who just didnâ€™t like the steeds we rode!!!
But revenge is sweet, I seem to recall about 20 Bikes, being parked up outside the â€œPink Flamingoâ€ CafÃ© in Bognor one nightâ€¦ myself and 5 mates in need of a place to relieve ourselves and discovering that none of the bikes had locking petrol capsâ€¦â€¦â€¦ Oh how we chuckled all the way home that nightâ€¦.. unlike 20 Rockers who I imagine ended up pushing their bikes and swearing. Never did get caught for that one!!!
The stories come flooding backâ€¦.. The Rex Ballroom, The Pier, (mostly under it with some girl or other) Marioâ€™s Coffee House, breaking in to Butlins Camp (whilst everyone there was trying to break out)â€¦â€¦â€¦..
Ahhhhhhhhh Nostalgiaâ€¦â€¦â€¦
Funny, nowadays I am a Biker, and ride a 1340cc Harleyâ€¦â€¦.. Strange how things change![

How to catch a goth
Why catch a goth?
# It deserves it, that devil-worshipping pansy.
# Because you can. (Ethical and moral considerations! I raise my middle finger at you!)
# If you treat it right, it may never want to leave ;-)
# Borrowing its stuff is cheaper than buying your own.
# It bit you in the neck.
# For sport, why else?
# Goths taste like chicken.
# Because of the lack of natural predators, the population must be culled periodically, or there will not be enough speed, and many will have to actually sleep- it's a humanitarian thing, really.
Trapping
* Step 1: Plant your area with large rose bushes. Make sure they produce black or red roses, and have long, sharp thorns. Let the bushes grow out of control, until your area looks overgrown and romantically neglected. This is the bait.
* Step 2: When your prey walks by the trap, he will feel an overwhelming desire to write poetry about it, or should he not be poetically inclined (gasp!), sit in the middle of it and contemplate death. He will approach the roses, leading you to...
* Step 3: The fishnet, lace, or other material worn by your prey will catch on the thorns, rendering him motionless. If you leave clove cigarettes within reach and pump Bauhaus into your area, you can keep your goth fresh until your semi-annual goth harvest.
Hunting by Stealth
* Step 1: Dress in your best blaze black and carry a baseball bat. Drive to an area with a high gothic concentration and mingle with your possible prey. Find a member of whichever sex you may be attraced to. Lower its defenses with Jello shots or other mind-altering substances.
* Step 2: If you can lure it outside with offers of sex, do it. Otherwise, knock it unconscious. Tie its wrists and ankles with its own dog collar and bondage bracelets and sling it over the hood of your car. Tie down securely.
* Step 3: Go home, point to the thorny brambles in your yard and the bodies hanging from them, and say ominously, "That could have been you." This will convince your goth to stay.
Surprise Attack
* Step 1: Go to your local Goth club. Use any means necessary to get close to the DJ. Have someone create a diversion while you replace his CDs with Spice Girls, Hanson, N Sync, and the Backstreet Boys. Put in your earplugs and wait for the fun.
* Step 2: When he plays the switched CDs, everyone in the area will fall to the ground in pain. They will eventually become limp and comatose. Walk among them and choose your prey.
* Step 3: Put it in your car and revive it with Sisters of Mercy. The bubble-gum pop experience will have had the effect of a frontal lobotomy. Goths caught in this manner are extremely docile, with a tendancy towards drooling.
Congratulations! You've caught a goth! But how do you know it's really a goth? What if it's a Spooky Kid, Mansonite, or Quantum? Here's a handy test to see if that vision in black really is a goth. If your quarry meets these specifications, be happy (or forlorn, if you will), for you have caught yourself an authentic!
* It is sickened by the country-style decor in your kitchen.
* It points out the window at all the other goths caught in your rosebushes, and gives you a longwinded speech about how they are NOT goth.
* It is NOT goth.
* You may not be able to ascertain its gender from physical examination.
* It just won't shut up about all those 80s bands.
* Ankhs, ankhs everywhere.
If, however, your prey is more similar to these specs, put it back on your rosebushes to starve or be picked up by its mom.
* Wearing any Marilyn Manson clothing
* Ugly, ugly, UGLY makeup.
* Gives a long explanation of what Goth is, with contradictions all over the place.
* Is wearing blue jeans or khakis, or anything from the (shudder) Gap.
* Is a girl scout, salesman, or Jehovah's Witness. (Don't put the trap in the front yard, people!)
It's very pretty, but what do you DO with it?
* The obvious- sex slave.
* Glue a lantern to its hand and make it a darker sort of lawn jockey.
* Diminutive Perky Goths make excellent garden gnomes.
* Goths with big hair can be used to dust those high, hard to reach corners.
* Film your own sequel to Edward Scissorhands.
* Pretend it's your offspring, you get to be on talk shows!
* It'll make a good test subject, as long as you are willing to inject him with drugs.
* It'll introduce you to all the best people.
* Improve your trap- put it in the yard with a sign that says "Goth Babe/Boi of the Week" over it.
* Send it out to buy you that bondage gear you've always been afraid to shop for.
* It'll make you feel reassuringly normal.

Is this why there were no mods in Northern Ireland??? Didn't want to ride around on a scooter with a target on their back?

Venus, I loved your post how to catch a goth!
Sounded just like me! I think I used to be the kind to be picked up from the garden by my mom cos I had blue jeans from The Gap!
The rest was from Afleks Plaace and the Collesium!
Neil, we'll have to meet again and chat about all this ex-gothing we did. Maybe relive a few terrible clothes days?!!! lol

Silk and Big G;

I had long hair and rode my first bike at the age of 17.
As I've got older, my hair's got sparser and sparser and shorter and shorter (actually it's all migrated further down my body), but I still ride a bike......
Does that mean I'm now a Mocker ????? Or am I a Rod ? dunno

I go to the Ace Cafe on occasions, still see old time rockers there. Lot of memrobilia on the walls, rememberance of the 60's. It's not the little caravan it used to be, much larger and grander now.
