THE
*METROGOTHS*
*METROGOTHS*
LIVES MATTER TOO!
They who are not sure whether they are
bloodsucking vampires, make-up aficionados,
poor porphyria-stricken saps,
ghouls, zombies, witches, wiccans, weirdos
or quite simply anemic, slightly evil palefaces...

TODAY, ON MAY THE 22ND,
IT IS THE GOTHS' TURN IN THE... SUN?
(... although they're celebrated on every other
occasion: Valentine's, Halloween... Christmas?)

Once again, for the record -and right off the bat-
the only "goths" that we will ever acknowledge
in these luminous parts here
are the Visigoths and the Ostrogoths
--- capisce?
(This in spite of what they did to ROMA!
A barbaric twist on Veni, Vedi... Vinci, eh?
Well - we forgive... but we don't forget!
Don Luciano will *never* forget...!!!
But... Hmm... that is another story.)
Modern Goths are...
just not the same thing at all.
Now, we've gone over those sad details elsewhere already;
on that certain other blog of ours (no, not ludicrous!)
(But... yes... on the ludicrous blog, too!)
... where we define what the Goth is, how it goes
and why it has to go...
We coined the term "Metrogoth" there, also!
Not as rough as an Ostrogoth,
on that certain other blog of ours (no, not ludicrous!)

Not as rough as an Ostrogoth,
nor as tough as a Visigoth...
Just a Metrogoth!
Could be a slogan - or a tee!
No? Never mind...

No matter which way you look at it now...
The Goth lifestyle is very much alive
(lest it is... undead, really?)
It runs the gamut from the bloodletting
wanna-be vampires out there...
... now, they may not look like it just like that,
but those are the harmless ones, in truth!
... to the borderline cross-dressers
with very strange taste in music:
...but never mind those sordid sounds anyways!
LET'S MOVE ON!
And what better way to wrap everything up here
than rounding up all the usual suspects
(as we simply love to do - you know it)
in an attempt to beset the plague,
extirpate by exposing the bad weed
and circumvent any further propagation...
perhaps?
Hmm... Worry not, we are not so deluded
as to think a single man -or single blog-
could possibly ever be able to...!
We can round them up, though -
that we sure can do!
Et les voici... And here they are...
(as seen on Twitter -
as the dozen or so above the videos were!)
I am absolutely certain that the odd ones
over at the United Kingdom of Englandshire agree that
... this World Goth Day didn't fall on a Wednesday this year;
eh? Too darn bad...! It had #WCW written all over it...!
Aye, ultimately... it does fill my heart with sorrow.
Aye, it really does.
For the *metrogoth* is but the saddest of
night creatures ---
they put on a brave face, especially on the 22nd of May,
but deep inside their dark hearts... there is loneliness.
Anguish. Sullenness. Fear of rejection - or,
worse yet, of contempt.
They fight all those feelings off with this front
that rejects conformity and embraces oddness.
Yet all they truly want is acceptance...
It is all very... sad. Aye, it is.
It made for great tweets, though;
one must admit!
The best, by far:
And the second best:
