You don't see.

[Capacity]

You don't see many 50-year-old Goths floating around the towns do you? This would imply that all Goths grow out of being Goths. Just a thought.

[rachie004]

no they just turn whatever age they turn when its time to stop being an angsty teenager :thumb:

[rockerchick]

dont about 80% grow out of it when there 18?

[JsT]

By the time they reach 21 they realise they look like a fucking prick and revert to normality.

[PinkFeatherBoa]

There's a guy on my course at uni who is 37 and a goth. Plus I saw a gang of 50 year old goths in a pub the other night.

But yeah, most grow out of it!

[Lil Laura]

My auntie and uncle are goths, and are like fifty-somethings. They have lots of gothy friends of similar ages too.

You know how I hate to disagree with you Tum, but y'know, had to be done. ;(

[Shogun]

Not really, you might see the odd goth though but they wouldn't really be classified as a gothic though, they'd be more of a hippy just with long hair and 'hippy' clothes, not all black clothing and black makeup.

[morrocan roll]

i stood in a busy nottingham street a couple of years back waiting for someone to come out of a shop.
suddenly about fifty elvis presleys appeared and not one of them was under 40.
oh my fragile mind ...

[PinkFeatherBoa]

[Replicant]

people who are goths may be goths when they grow up, i mean old people dress like old people cos that's what they wore when they were younger, right? :confused:

[lucifer devil]

I think there are, but they tend not to dress in the same way as the younger ones might. They have an old person image to uphold and have to look smart. Or something.

[Bri-namite]

It occured to me earlier that you get some relatively pretty goth girls going out with (assuming that's what all the holding hands implies) a lot of ugly, hairy, greasy goth guys.

That implies that a lot of ugly (male) weirdos turn to gothness because they can't get a shag any other way.

You also don't tend to get a lot of ethnic minority goths either (unless pale white counts as an ethnic minority), and I've never seen a disabled goth or a single parent goth either.

I wonder what this tells us?

They've probably finally succeeded in topping themselves after 50 years practise.

Or perhaps Darwin was right all along.

Who knows.

[Capacity]

That ethnic minorities are generally more attractive than 'us'?

I was in the pub the other night when about 20 Elvis Presleys Walked in with an Elf - apparently they were on a stag do.

[SuzyCreamcheese]

i was just looking at a website of a local goth club round here actually where all the old skool goths hang out.
they do look a bit dodgy, bless them.

[Tim the Enchanter]

There was a goth night in a my student union about a month ago and the place was filled with loads of old goths with big bellies and match stick legs. I had a dance with them...

[Kermit]

Ah, fat old men on Harleys.

A truly splendid sight.

[Zella]

I see lots of people who you really wouldnt expect to be goth.
I saw this guy in a wheelchair all gothed up he was cool and managed to get two very hot girls he didnt know to push him around camden.

Quite a few old people round and about.....

Oh and awww I got my mum into new rocks and she's like 100

[Hellfire]

Camden has alot of older goths,

I know a few older goths but yes they're arent many but when was the last time you saw a 50yr old townie/chav in burbarry?

You must be walking around with your eyes shut.

[Ilora-Danon]

Try having a look around london pubs before you make generalisations about 'older goths' not existing...

The Eerie Pub Co. specialise in pubs for 'goths' - go in an Eeerie pub any time of the day and you'll find goths of many ages. Particularly over the age of 25.

I'm mates with a 30 something yr old single parent goth too. So maybe you're just not looking hard enough...?

Did he say they don't exist? No? STFU then heeb :)

Besides, he doesn't even live in London.

Even if he did live in London, why in Gods name would he want to go into an Eerie pub? Goths drinking a depressant really can't be a good mixture.

Find where I said any of that, fucker.

I seriously hate people like you. People who think that they are somehow more educated on matters than the more normal ones amongst us 'who can never understand'.

What good is a 30 year old Goth to me when I'm practically aiming this towards OAPs?

The first Goth I ever listen to and/or take any notice of, and I end up regretting it. Time to go write a poem about my experience.
