“I’m here today to talk to you about Goth Awareness. It’s important to know these simple facts. Being a goth isn’t just about wearing black or eyeliner, it’s not just about listening to the Bauhaus or Sisters of Mercy, or frightening churchgoing elderly when we wave hello. It’s about cultivating the darkness in your soul and finding nourishment in the inevitable heat death of the universe. Goths are kind people, and usually quite happy. We don’t wanna eat you or your family, haha. We don’t worship Satan, hahaha. (Aah, Satan.) Goths are people, just like you. The difference is we embrace the darkness so you don’t have to. So remember, when you next see a goth, don’t splash them with holy water. Thank them, for making all those asshole protesters at ComiCon feel uncomfortable and slightly aroused.”
