Description
Now don't get all hardcore on me... I may be wrong, but this is how I see it.
Judging by the blank stares, I should mention that Robert Smith is the lead singer of The Cure.
Not pictured is the Gothic Lolita - it wouldn't have fit the joke, and is kind of different anyway.
One thing I think the young folks have forgotten these days is that the whole Gothic thing was meant to be FUN. I mean, look at the Addams Family. They looked like they were having fun...
If anyone remembers the short-lived program "That '80s Show" it had a punk / Goth character named June Tuesday. Hmm, come to think of it, as I post this, it IS a June Tuesday.........

I remember when all this "Goth" stuff started, and now my kids call it 'Emo'...i dont quiet get it, but i like this picture and i will show it to my oldest, she will get a kick out of it
lol gotta love the addams family...:D excellent work
Yes, the original Addams Family was terrific. And remember, they started out as a set of extremely odd cartoons by the talented cartoonist Chaz Addams (hence the name of the show). The movies were so-so for me, but that's because I saw the original show first. Just my opinion, of course. And yes, the goths I knew in college were doing it for fun as a conformity/non-conformity thing. I don't know about the Emo-thing though. I must be too old. :) BTW: The Penn State Library has a huge painting done by Charles Addams of one of his cartoons. I doubt he really worked that large normally.
