- Fear that people won't stare at you oddly.
- Show surprise that your favorite bands don't always dress in black, some in blue denim even.
- Your old VHS copy of "The Hunger" is in pristine condition - except for the first five minutes.
- You would rather live in an old plague hospital than a modern apartment with all new mod cons.
- Thank Apple that the nano comes in purple or black.
- The only one in the pub reading and not watching the sports (Songs Of Experience, Blake).
- Find it funny and tragic when 'Hot Topic' gets described as 'Goth Gap' (urbandictionary.com)
- The white thread in your sewing kit is unused.
- The occasional lust for color is limited to lush fabrics and rich patterns, not disposable fashion.
- You have typed 'graveyard tours' into google (another reason to visit York, Dick Turpin also!).
- If you timewarped back to 1850, only your lack of a beard would be commented upon.

You know you're Goth if...when you take your clothes off, anyone standing within 20 feet of you gets snowblindness from your deathly pale skin.

...when you go shopping for clothes, you start moaning at the lack of black available.

- Your theme somg should be Paint it Black (The Rolling Stones) but you prefer White Lies (The Cure).

- You repeatedly fantisise about Alucard, Dracula (same guy), any Anne Rice vamp, and go on to name forty five other proper vampires being let loose in Forks (Land of the Cullen) to wreak havoc.

- You think Lidia fom Beetle Juice is pretty.

- You go through the whole black section in the fabric store and leave empty handed because nothing was black enough.

- Plastic bats hang on your Christmas tree.

- You feed the spiders in your school locker (if you're a student).

- You've gone up to a non-goth friend and sadly muttered "life is an abiss" (or somehting to that effect) and then burst out laughing.

- Everything you've put in this thread applies to you.

Guilty as charged.

Thread winner.


- You know you're goth when the only thing you know about Dresden is the band "Dresden Dolls"

- You bow before David Bowie's statue in Madame Tussand's museum. (That's what I really did, my parents were all "WTF?" altough they are goths as well)

You know you're goth if you have the voice of Dr. Nightmare downloaded onto your GPS.

Nephele - that's awesome! Almost enough for me to want to get a GPS. Lol.

I'm so glad I bought a Nuvi. Needed a software update (webupdater) and reboot to work though.

@Stargazer, now I feel bad for poking you with a stick in another thread, Oh the humanity!

That's because they don't remember that the Addams Family wasn't on TV until the 1960's

I know, you're referring to black-and-white television.

---->Harpy, whose family hung onto their black-and-white TV until the early 1980's
and who only got to see The Addams Family in reruns

It's my man's GPS, but downloading Dr. Nightmare was my idea. Dr. Nightmare has quite a personality -- and he gets very chatty (in a darkly goofy way) on long road trips.

It's weird, but I sometimes find myself replying to Dr. Nightmare in the car.

You know your goth when... you can use goth blend!
What? Haven't you ever seen Goth Lyfe??? Rofflez

I so wish that I had Goth Blend...very handy

I have another...

You know you're Goth when you name your children after vampires.

I can think of several more appropriate words for this--I'm afraid most of them are rather less flattering than "Goth", though

That's a pretty good cartoon! they don't take themselves too seriously.

Yeah, but the rest of the episodes are really annoying though. =/
