He already nuked half the planet into oblivion. And his ship, Antioch, is gorgeous. My friend actually does the animation for him in the new season, and she designed Antioch from scratch. Kudos to ye who guesses the origin of the ships name..
Funny, I started hating them and failing to relate to them culturally by age 12.

I'm goth, but I just like the style. I dont go with the whole angst thing cuz Im goth, tho I do have black feelings at times. it doesnt relate to the outfit tho. I have a trenchcoat, but dont really take the whole culture that seriously. I listen to music totally unrelated to it, and go with what looks good. I am currently going for black and silver jewerly, skulls and celtic crosses for the most part, as well as a red beret and blue flame belt. I tried lipstick for a little while, but got over it. still have the fingernails.kojikun wrote:Its a personal thing, hemlock, and its fucking annoying when people start dressing like that for the sole purpose of "looking cool". Well, really I think it is that people who have an emotional issue (be it break up issues, etc) get it into their heads that they hav to change their entire style to show this. They say "oh, my boyfriend broke up with me and im sad so I'll dress black and hang with a crowd i dont know yet just to make myself feel like im worth something."
People like that are annoying. Me, I wear black. Why? Because tis an elegant color. It goes with anything too. Why do you think formal wear is almost always black? Granted I dont wear formal wear, I wear wide leg jeans, but I like long flowing garments. I'd have a trench coat if I could find a Matrix style one. And a floor length leather kilt, Peace Keeper/Scarran style. But I dont' wear these things because "its cool to be depressed". I wear these things because they appeal to me. I don't listen to "goth music" (such as souxie and the banshees) i listen to metal. I don't think about death except when it comes to ways to avoid it.
To sum up my opinion on the pseudogoths I rely on Lord Maddox..

I only wear a sweater if it's freaking freezing. I only look ok in them.Darth Garden Gnome wrote:[teenager]Oh yeah! Well I hate YOU! I HATE EVERYTHING![/teenager]
Ugh, everytime I hear one of those little whiny bitches going on about how life sucks, they wanna die, ohhhh feel sorry for poor angsty me; I just wanna...grrrr....
I dunno whats with clothes anyways, style has never appealed to me. I wear the same combo of clothes everyday, that is: a pair of jeans, whichever one I happen to pull outta the drawer be it blue, black, or the occasional green. And a sweater if its cold, or a T-shirt if its warm. I could give less of a damn what they look like. Just mah two cents, anyways.
It took you until you were 20 to dislike them? Hell, I started disliking them back when I was a teenager.RedImperator wrote:Isn't amazing how quickly people find themselves hating teenagers so soon after they stop being teenagers.

The difference is, back when I was a teenager, I happened to like certain other teenagers--myself and my admittedly small social circle. Frankly, if I went back in time to anywhere between 1996 and 1999, I wouldn't like me at all. I had this, "I'm not like other teenagers, so I'm obviously better than everyone" thing going. A good ass whooping by a slightly older, wiser, and fatter me would have done me good back then.GrandMasterTerwynn wrote:It took you until you were 20 to dislike them?

I had the same 'I'm better than everyone else' attitude, but I wouldn't like the teenage me either.RedImperator wrote:The difference is, back when I was a teenager, I happened to like certain other teenagers--myself and my admittedly small social circle.

You think it has anything to do with the Osbournes? You're right there wasn't the Osbournes in the 80's and early 90's but there were always hordes of Identically dressed Teenagers (whether it be dressed as Goths, Punks, Techno, etc), trying to find a group of teenagers where they Aren't arranged in like-dressed groups is the real hard taskinnerbrat wrote: ALL these girls were dressed exactly the same - something that I've never seen among people even my age.
And there were very few teenygoths in the nineties, becasue the Osbournes wasn't on telly.

. The same can be applied to 99% of Piercings, tattoo's, hair-dying/styles, etc. 
Which is why tatoos are only available for the over 18s. By then, hopefully, people know why they actaully want them.Rob Wilson wrote:The same can be applied to 99% of Piercings, tattoo's, hair-dying/styles, etc.
The ageless mantra of the teenager "I want to be an individual, just like everyone else."
Actully tattoo's seem to fall into 2 huge categories and 1 tiny one.innerbrat wrote:Which is why tatoos are only available for the over 18s. By then, hopefully, people know why they actaully want them.Rob Wilson wrote:The same can be applied to 99% of Piercings, tattoo's, hair-dying/styles, etc.

Isn't that there for the youngsters that want earrings?innerbrat wrote: I din't get any piercings until I was 18, and I think the same law should apply to that. Or at least, scrap the 'parental permission' for the under 16s.
Hmmm. Does wanting one because it's pretty and yet having lots of friends with tattoos count as 1 or 3?Rob Wilson wrote: Actully tattoo's seem to fall into 2 huge categories and 1 tiny one.
In decending order.
1. Wanting to look cool like their friends, be part of a club/clique (all of whom have copied it off of the pop/movie/wrestling star de jour).
2. Drunk and wake up with it.
3. Actually wanting something for personal reasons.
Yes, but then they've got gotes in their ears for life.Rob wrote:Isn't that there for the youngsters that want earrings?innerbrat wrote: I din't get any piercings until I was 18, and I think the same law should apply to that. Or at least, scrap the 'parental permission' for the under 16s.
