Gotta lock down that inVisigoth "look", is all. Mysterious & ooky in the sheets, and ...just not appearing "in the streets". (so please, stop asking/calling/texting) 🦇🤘🏼
But then Gary Numan would have to be Andrew Eldritch - and since you can't get /more/ goth than Drew, where would /he/ go ? He'd have to come out the other side and be Jason Donovan.
Wasn't it crazy 'ol Eldrich who started the goths not being goths thing? I would hardly count his opinions as law other artists have to follow.... Actually perhaps Bowie was poking fun of exactly that. 🤔

I wanted to be a Goth but I learned in European history that I would have to be from 3rd century East Germany after migrating from Scandinavia. 😔

Or you could be part of the 12th-16th century architectural style ! You don't get to sack Rome, but you might get a "flying buttress" !

Except for absolute beauty, does the flying buttress give any structural advantages?

I dunno. It's just really fun to say, tho...

If Bowie had gone goth, he’d be Gary Numan.

Or Numan would have just ended up settling for being the BDSM one from Depeche Mode.

That's the most goth thing I've ever heard

I loved that rumour, that Bowie was also lead singer of The Sisters of Mercy… sadly, it seems it has been lost in the dark corners of time.

That sounds like an awesome rumor. Too bad there are not memes of it, that it might live forever.

The most stereotypically goth people I've ever met denied it and said they had no idea why people kept calling them goth. It was rather silly.

You are saying a big tiddy goth gf could be any big tiddy gf?
