I was in school during the emo times, so you either had that or trenchcoat creeps who liked Marilyn Manson too much. I got to feel cooler cause I was punk as fuck (still am, just no one cares now).

I wish I had been cool enough to be a goth kid in school.

I just wore black because I was overweight and was sad all the time. I became defacto goth but I didn’t really mean to

I hung out with the goths but I couldn’t be arsed to do any of the styling. They were just very into Tim Burton, menthol cigarettes and HIM in my experience.
