Goth Curiosity

    I've been into the web for a little while (while for me means a year) browsing for cool stuffs and such when a picture of a lady in a Victorian dress captured my attention. That was a year ago, actually. That's when I first encountered the Goth culture. I don't know why, but was, and still, fascinated by these people. From then, on, I started reading a lot about them and the culture itself.

     I was chilling over the cold weather last night when my curious mind started to do a crazy brainstorming about random questions and suddenly an idea pop-out of nowhere. I had written once about my experience about being a goth to improve myself in Goth enlightenment: The light side of the dark chasers. I know this is crazy, but I want to know I other feel the same way that I felt when I choose to be one.

    I hope there would be someone who landed in my page (aside from those who I sent invitation to answer my freaking idea) by accident and answer my curiosity.

1. What does Goth culture and being a Goth means to you?
2. People mostly believed that the Goth culture is into dark and death, etc. If you have a chance to shout something in their faces about the POSITIVE things that Goth culture had brought to you, what it is and why?
3. What positive and good things does the Goth culture had brought to you that change you as a person?
4. Why did you choose to be a Goth?
5. Does being a Goth is another way of self-expressionism?
6. My parents said: "Goths are cool. But, please stop playing funeral songs." Do you agree in the first sentence?
7. My sister says: "Goths wears cross. But, they're into dark things and such... Do they believe in God?" Do you? 

     I hope I don't offend any from the culture by my questions. And, if by any chance, you spare a time and post an answer, I will send my gratitude in advance.
