Where are the people with dark style/macabre tastes, who don’t blindly follow the cartoonish goth/emo culture?
Question by Mr. Addams: Where are the people with dark style/macabre tastes, who don’t blindly follow the cartoonish goth/emo culture?
I think black is a lovely shade that should be used as prevalently as white is currently; I enjoy a darker style in my wardrobe (though I always try to maintain class in what I wear); I value pale skin and black hair; I prefer things like Victorian antique furniture, Second Empire style homes, and graveyards; I possess a taste for the macabre, the morbid, and the grotesque; I have an admittedly gallows sense of humor.
Yet, I find the entire goth/emo culture repulsive, uninspired, and childish. I’d never set foot inside a Hot Topic, I hope I never have the misfortune of seeing a Twilight film, and I see no value in writing bad poetry and cutting one’s self. I find the merchandise covered in chains and straps and little pictures of skulls or spiders to be embarrassing, and the kids who try to dress like they’re straight out of some monochromatic Victorian era (think Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice) are just screaming “I need attention!”.
Where are the people who have a “dark” disposition, who favor the color black in their home and wardrobe while still being classy about it, and who have a taste for the macabre and bizarre, who don’t blindly follow the clowny/cartoonish goth/emo culture? Where are the people whose tastes are just legitimately unique, and who aren’t just imposing some sort of goofy pre-packaged persona on themselves while they wait to grow up?

We’re here, but just don’t like to leave the house other than for food, alcohol, and concerts.
There truely has not been a good vampire movie since the original Lost Boys. This whole vampire trend is almost enough to make me change my style just to NOT get lumped in with the posers.
I understand what you’re saying.
One crowd you might want to check out is called the “antiquarians.” There are people out there who have a great interest in European culture and antiques from the Victorian/Edwardian/Second Empire eras. When you get into stuff from this era, you’re inevitably going to come across a lot of stuff like old creepy furniture (I think there’s actually a name for this: “dark nostalgia”), grotesque taxidermy items, interesting potions/tonics/poisons, etc. A lot of the people who appreciate this kind of stuff will inevitably have a sort of dark, old-fashioned style and almost inevitably have an appreciation, or at least a good tolerance, for the macabre and morbid since–let’s face it–19th century Europe was a pretty macabre place. Hooking up with people like this who share your interests might be as easy as going to antique shops or shows and talking to the people selling/buying the more bizarre items. But beware of some of the sillier role-players or so-called “Wiccans” or Victorian-goth kids–they’ll probably be a little too corny for your tastes, and are going to be more of the Hot Topic/Twilight type than folks who just happen to have dark class and an off-beat sense of humor like yourself.
Another crowd of folks you might get along with are classical music enthusiasts. The brooding style of Tchaikovsky, Samuel Barber, Mozart, Beethoven, Poulenc, or Schumann is apt to cultivate a darker persona in the listener. It’s difficult to listen to minor-key organ or harpsichord concertos and not feel a little like a character in a 1920′s silent horror film.
The kind of acquaintances you’d like to meet are going to be among the more well-read, cultured, and successful crowds, not the mall-rats, metal-heads, and occultists, who take more pleasure in getting attention from other people than just enjoying Second Empire style homes and a Charles Addams cartoon.
