Subject: w00p w00p fuck goth culture
y0 wussup... This page rocks, gives me an excuse to laugh at spewky lil
peeps every month. sure i listen to some goth (not alot cause most of it
sucks) and alot of industrial i have become fed up with the whole
fucking lame goth sub-culture. What the hell is its purpose? to sit
around and be spooky as fuck, these are people who have no real lives
outside of their clubbing and speed habits. I mean sure maybe if i feel
like it before i go out i may kinda dress up (my extent of dressing up
is tucking my pants into my bewtz so blah) anyway some of these people
just get this huge ego because they look more goth than thou and im
fuckign tired of having to deal with stupid depressed cunts at clubs
whom when u accidentaly bump into them u get soem stupid "get out of my
gothdom" look. I completly understand why outside groups mock the goth
culture, because it has becoem everything it was never intended to be,
just a stupid fucking fasion show full of superficial people and lame
egos. If i wanted to deal with that shit when i go out i might as well
just go back to high school. Im not sayign all "goths" are like this
(even though personally i belive limiting yourself to a specific group
or culture is lame, stupid, and superficial) i know people whom r goth
as fuck but r still cool. too bad the majority has to be a bunhc of
wannabe blood sucking, angst/sarrow exploiting, black cothes and too
much makeup wearing lamers whom are onyl doign what they are doing to be
different when infact they are just promoting nothing but conforming.

Hi Kittyporn, I am still laughing at your fucking cool and extremely funny letter! Hahahahaha! Damn it, I should copy your letter to alt.gothic because I bet that the people there would blush at it, even through their damn white faces. You are really a grim goth hater, aren't you? Hahahaha, I am not antigoth at all, I am just anti-fakegoths (even though the alt.gothic goffs will never understand the difference). Come on, I want more letters like this one from you!

I love this page, it is my favorite. But you really had
me die of laughter with this Feb Goth Goose. What a COMPLETE FUCKING LOSER. I am
28 and I can't believe anyone his age would let themselves be seen like that, let
alone think it's cool. He looks like an 11 yr old "spooky" kid.
Keep up the good work.
Love,
Hi Me Myself! Thank you very much for your very nice compliment! Letters like yours make me feel right when I upload the new geese. Yes, my current Goth Goose is like a sapphire, a timeless beauty which we have to adore and worship. Mau Bast did a good job by nominating Cryptie, don't you think? Cool to know that you know what a real life is! I hope you will be a long time fan of my fan (and maybe you will submit a Goth Goose like Crytpie one day).

It is amazeing ye who clames of such darkest soul can exist truthfully as a

while goths are non judgemental when faced with such small issues as "fashion"
you are yet.. to feeble minded to attend to your TRUE human nature on the
outside, afraid to express any emotion that would be classified as ( Pure

dye my hair black, I don't mean to be depressed but I sometimes am, and I
wear a lot of black, but it's a t-shirt and jeans thing-sorry, no lace for

Hahahahaha, of course I can recommend some good goths bands: Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Type O Negative, Bros, Umbra Et Imago, Lacrimosa and Spice Girls. To help you finding out what goth is I can also tell you: You are NOT goth if you do not use cheesy black clothes and 1 kg white make-up to pale your face. Besides you must have red, kiss-proof lipstick and the MOST important thing is: You must be deep into vampire stuff and always repeat painfully: "Uhhhh, sunlight! It hurts!!"

Hehehehehehe, what a funny letter! Thanks for yet another e-mail, Draekal! Let me know if you need money for your research. I will do everything within my power to help you. But in my opinion it must be a virus and not a gene which brings us all these goth geese because I cannot find another reason why they populate the earth that fast (and are so fucking resistant against our efforts to get rid of them...)!!! They are making babies faster than rabbits. These goth geee remind me pretty much of the film "The Body Snatchers". They are nothing but an infiltrating, ugly, alien breed. Hehehehehehehehe.

Friend Straylight,
My God, but that was funny. I hate to say it
but it would still be funny if some dull Sunday morning I
woke to find myself here. (OF course I'd hate to share a
page with the likes of such silly skin-Goths as you've
managed to collect, but the satire is so sweet I'd grin and
bear it. Even if I do resent sharing a cultural tag with this lot.)
At any rate, keep up the fantastic work. I sit back in my
comfy chair well content that someone else can draw the line
between Goth and Freak and that I am not alone in my dislike
of poorly done skin-Gothicism.
Most Assuredly Yours,
Suzi
Love,
Hello Suzi! I'd like to thank you for your nice e-mail. Hehehehe, let's have a good laugh at those silly idiots who mix up goth with freaky look. It is cool that you show a sense of humour when you say that it would be funny if you woke up to find you here. A sense of humour - this is what I miss when I see most of the fake net goths... But it seems that you do not belong to them. Okay, if you are sick of sitting in your comfortable chair get up and send me a pic of yourself so that I can upload you ;-)

Subject: Goth Or Snot?
Been at your web page several times now;
I must say that it's very amusing; Looking at all these 'geese', and reading
your comments causes more than just a smile...
and then I can't help thinking; They can have it - Pathetic brats!
I still wonder exactly what it was that became the reason why I dislike
g***s, but I do, however, have my own little story...
Read it, and decide whether i'm a goose, g*** or not. ;)
In summer 1994 I was 15, coming on fourty-something.
It wasn't in any way a some kind of awakening, it rather happened step by
step, and one day I suddenly found that reality had finally came crushing
into my life. The effect was devastating.
Earlier that year I had found The Sisters Of Mercy. Everything was still
Glam Trash Boogie back then.
Just a matter of a couple of poor months in between these happenings, but
anyway it took me long before I heard what the Sisters were supposed to be;
G***. So i thought, OK, The Sisters are g***, and when I hear them,I get
this feeling of having found something I've been looking for all my life
without knowing what it was, so...I suppose I'm a g***.
And nothing could have been less complicated; Not a thing did I know about
the vampire business and gloryfying of death and angst;
For me, there was only the Sisters, and the fact that I was deeply down
below...
Today I'd rather not label me, and referring to myself as g***, would
honestly only be a lie...
Okay, so I dress in black. I like black , and there's nothing more to it.
Okay, so maybe my thoughts aren't of flowers and happy joy all the
time -Then again who's constantly happy (Oh, that guy in my school is, but
he must be one of a kind, hehe)
If I was g*** though, I would not be ashamed of confessing it, 'cause when I
read your statement about what True Goth is, I realised, that maybe I truly
was a Goth that time... Just as you said; A state of mind...
Yours sincerly,
Katya Gryphon Lindblom
Yours,
Hi Katya, thank you very much for your long letter. Well, I don't think that you are a goose because you seem to know how to see things in the right light. I don't know why you dislike goths since their music is still awesome (only if you talk of some real goths) but it is true: A black dress does not make you gothic but a certain attitude towards some things might do so. I know what you mean when you speak about the Sisters. And I know what you mean when you speak of the vampire shit......... I am really not antigoth although my URL indicates it but I am antigothcult, antispooky and antifakegoths. Well, I should specify it: I am against these disgusting endless shows they are putting on, against their annoying behaviour and against their arrogance. But I am pro-realgoth (whatever this may be, hahahahahahaha). With their lyrics, music and shows the Sisters have influenced a lot of people and they have been goths but since everything changes they are not goth anymore. I think you know what's the meaning of a real life and this is a great thing because most fake goths don't know!

Hi Brian! Toc Toc Toc... Is there anybody at home? McFly? Brian??? Of course my comments are cold. Did you expect anything else? Should I praise goth geese? Tell them how serious they look? Tell them that they carry the spirit of true goth? Fuck you! This award is not a copy of anything existing, it is my gift to real goths (since I love goth, really, I do). And no, I do not have a lot of time to run this site. But instead of wasting my rare spare time by putting lame make-up on and choosing what lame dress to wear this night I study chemistry because I will have a real life after this while most of the goths will be some poor hobos then... And I have enough time to listen to some good and true gothic music. So you must be right: I am the real looser goff of the month.

While your page actually had me cracking up (despite knowing Purp personally -
although, it was some of the archived "gooses" that had me really laughing), I
can't help but point out that you appear to be just about everything you claim to hate.
Moreover, I find the 4 page rationalization of your McJob most amusing.
Non-bloody, garlic kisses!
Hi Ron! You got it! I am a depressed, white paled ass-fucking goff and I wear cheesy cloaks. Besides I think that a goth is goff only when he uses stupid make-up like red lipstick in a white coloured face. Damn it. If you don't use makeup you MUST be a fake goth... And yes, Rozz invented goth, Americans invented goth and moreover I am an arrogant moron (like all fake goths) because in clubs I ignore all other people (I know the only reason is that I am too shy but I let other people think that I am just too cool for them) and I never laugh in the public as I have to show my dark and shocking face. Yes, Ron, you really got it. I appear to be just about everything I claim to hate. Hehehehehehe, and... McDonald's *IS* goth! :-)

I see "goff" idiots on the web all the time and it makes me
thankful for pages like this. There are goths out there who

it than you? But I hate to say it, but *sigh* a goose hunter's

I just have to say: i love goths. No matter how "phony" or "pretentious" or "goofy" or whatever they might be. What kinda
subbacultcha can ridicule itself so effectively? I laughed, I cried, but hey, it's free, so I'm glad I came. Fortunatetly, it's not old enough
to be redundant or repetitive, just good clean fun. Speaking as an individual (an' today, i use that term losely) whom has been
accused of being 'goth' an' has a bonafide goth-fetish, I like what you're doing. You could be criticised as having an elitist viewpoint,
but it's your page, so . . . so . . . why would I be responding to this? Criticism? Outrage? Encouraging? Acknowledging? Whatever it
is, I'm still not sure. Maybe just so when I come back, I'll be on the mailing page (which has an excellent soundtrack). My personal
sub-genre gothic terms are "Goothick" an' plain old "gooth" (or goofy goth, the former being a goth-hick - they're out there).
Well, i enjoyed. I shared and enjoyed.

I think you are just panting for attention if you want to be on the mailing page and - shit - I would have never thought that people like the Christian Death midi I use there. Ack, if Rozz with his puppy voice is "goth-sick" (just to beat your word creations) then I should better use a funky Joy Division tune or (even) better Backstreetboys midis. You are a cool dude!

Personally, I don't want to throw what I feel within myself into everyone's

these gothic performers putting on their endless shows. It's like seeing
South Pacific 19 times in a row without intermission--only substituting a
true gaggle of geese--a bunch of confused kids trying their damndest to be
individuals. Hell, I got picked on in highschool as much as anyone
else--but I still don't claim to drink human blood--nor do I ever WANT to.
Some people make goth a joke--and I just wanted to thank you for making

Hi Carla, I am absolutely not a "twisted vampire sucker" (or even worse: vampyre) but I have a very large superiority complex. On the other hand I MUST have it because otherwise I could not stand all these disgusting assholes who call themselves gothic by wearing stupid clothes, using ridiculous makeup and telling so much shit like "Welcome to the dark..." in their homepages. With every new pseudogothic homepage I see in the net my hate grows more and more. I can really calm you down: I love good gothic music, I am not a twisted soul and I will make clear (so that everybody knows) that most of us hate "these gothic performers putting on their endless shows".
