Post Succinctly Goth
If you were asked to summarize the concept of "goth" using only THREE words, which three would you choose? Which three words conjure up an image in your mind of what "goth" encompasses?

Dark, delirious, and damned-good-looking.

Hope that last one counts as one word.

Probably not my three, but I think it's important...

Sense of Humour

Dark and Beautiful definitely...
I think there's also a necessary element of Sadness... not a morose/mopey/glum sort... but a recognition/acceptance of loss and regret... a celebration in the face of mortality... a happy face on a tombstone. The Japanese concept wabi-sabi is similar, kinda.

So... for me...
Dark
Beautiful
Sad (seems like there should be a better word but I don't know what it is)
