My Goth Name

A touch off-topic so forgive me but, Caver, I've said it before and I'll say it again, American Goth must be very different from English Goth. Let's put it this way, you seldom see a female Goth without a fellow on her arm.

They dress medieval 'Romantic' with a hedonist twist so it's layers of lace, embroiderie anglais, ruffles and frills with spike heels (or New Rocks in some cases). Sensual as anything - well to me at least, which is why my missus is a goth :D.

We have a strain of them over here..All that I've seen are drop dead hotties...
 
my name is also Gilded Crotch.

How do I change my username on MT, I want it to be Gilded Crotch or maybe Gold Member LOL :p

A bit off topic, yes, but I think it fits here with the subject matter. Your description of English Goth is quite different than what I've seen here in America. This link: What is Goth? may explain a bit more of the origin, history, and thinking tendencies. The pictures I uploaded here are of the American stereotypical Goth. Do you have photos of what the English counterparts look like?

A very interesting link that I shall read through a bit later (Age of Empires LAN night tonight).

I think my description may have mislead a little because I didn't append the colour palette Goths tend to use but American Gothic (couldn't resist, sorry :D) seems to be more heavily laden with the Black motif followed through to the extreme.

Brit Goths were much like that about ten or fifteen years ago but now colours other than black are permitted - as long as they are at the dark and Imperial end of the spectrum (purples, reds, blues) :lol:. I suppose the best description is post-modern Vampire chic :D.

Also, the trans-atlantic Goth cliques seem to be much more morose, depressive and self-absorbed whereas our lot are much more into the flamboyant Byronesque elements of the 'culture' - less sulky-whiny more brooding and thespian.
 
I was about to say...

If some goth person came up to me and said their name was Starlight Sprinkles, Id....... I dont know what Id do but it would involve laughing a lot

Indeed. Are you sure that isn't your My Little Pony name?

LOL! Actually, my goth name is Liquid Fantasy and not Starlight Sprinkles.

My 'My Little Pony' name is The Aristocrats.
 
Beautifully Chaotic. What the...?

But hey, I don't know if this is Visigoth or Ostrogoth, so I'm discounting the whole thing until more substantial info is provided. :D

Come to think of it, I'm 100% Celtic extraction, so how do I have any kind of Goth name? Those Berber-ians...or maybe Vandals. ;)
