So You Want to Be a Goth?

.

Before venturing into the live report of The Mortal's tour (which will be coming, by and by), by popular demand, we have posted a new article on This is NOT Greatest Site, entitled, "So You Want to Be a Goth?" Explaining the entire goth subculture in the space of one tiny article is probably impossible so we probably failed, but y'all seemed curious about gothness, so we have thusly endeavored to deliver you some education on the matter.

But if you haven't got the attention span to read the full article, this is how to be goth, folks. This, right here.

I'd say more, but it's almost dawn here in the Land of the Rising Sun, and I must be getting back to my coffin.

After all, there's Peter Murphy's thong to consider.
