Life is inarguably so short. Go see the Cure. Start a band. Start dressing in a way that the teenage version of yourself would be proud of. Wear wild makeup. Drink a beer with a friend at 2am. Talk about things that matter. Share your love recklessly. Someday you'll be dust.

You can always tell when people don't know about the music history of "goth" (and post-punk) music, because they gatekeep SO hard, it's insane. The term "goth" is so egregiously nebulous and formless. Hell, no one even called it goth in the early 80's.

I’ve put a lot of skin in the game for the USA- 15 years of service in the Army, ALL of it infantry. 5 years as a paramedic/firefighter. I’m also well educated, formally (BA in Religion) and on my own terms. So I say this in no uncertain terms: this country is a total scam.

Athens Goth Night is going to institute a very mild dress code: no blue jeans, no khakis, no athletic wear. I want people to feel comfortable wearing whatever, but a bunch of frat bros from UGA came last night and were clearly there to hit on goth women. Fuck that.

Goth is an extremely nebulous term that is more of an umbrella of music based culture than a technical definition of sound. Most people who nit-pick over whether bands are "goth or not" are not musicians and can't even articulate in technical terms what makes it so.

It doesn't matter if it's the headliner or opener, whether you came for that band or not: if it's a smaller venue and the artists are talking about the meaning of a song, you should probably stop talking loudly or go outside. It's unbelievably rude to the artist and other fans.

Bands: please, PLEASE learn stage etiquette. If you're a middle band on a bill of three and you DEMAND both the opener and headliner remove a shared drum kit, and then go on stage late- you're showing everyone else that you're an asshole that doesn't value anyone else's time.
