I don't wear black cloths (well, not completely but always there is some black..don't answer...) but, am I a goth? I must confess I feel myself in that way for several reasons:
1) because I am atached to romanticism culture, novels specially, but also painting, music, sculpture and other arts.
2) Because I love gore, black or horror themes in novel, cinema, etc.
3) Because my way of thinking is individualist. Individualism understood, not as personal selfishness but as a conviction that the human being can only be realized and be happy when he thinks, lives and acts under his personal responsibility and not under that of a group, collective, State or Nation.
4) It would turn out that, therefore, the Human Being can only be free, and guarantee the freedom of his fellow human beings, when he thinks, lives and acts individually (not necessarily in solitude).
5) No need to say that, moreover, I love Medieval Stories (and history)... celtic spirituality, castles, knights, turkish warriors that conquer Europe and some Valakian Sire uses impale them... and things like that...
And you? Do you consider yourself as gothic? And, if so, why?
