Perhaps the lady you saw was actually a vampire who still wears the funeral clothes she was burried in in the 1650s because she has no reflection and can't see how new clothes look on her.

Can a vampires clothes be seen in a mirror? How about makeup? Maybe all these goth people are actual vampires and they wear the makeup so they can see themselves.

What age do you consider to be the cutoff for someone holding onto a "lifestyle" such as that ?

Hey, look at me! I dress like my parents did and judge other people because of it!

Seems kinda silly to judge people about what they wear, you know. Especially because a lot of you guys are getting up there and are posting on an internet computer forum. I wonder what outsiders would think?

People wear what they wear because that's how they want to be looked at and judged. I don't get the other part your random spewing. Did you hear someone say that on TV and thought it sounded cool or something?

The more I come here the more I realize that most of you are just a bunch of insecure assholes.

And no I am not goth.

You mean goths are insecure assholes, or normal people who don't like them?
