Chiunque puņ essere Luther Blissett, semplicemente adottando il nome Luther Blissett

Goths dress in black and have long hair like this, but metalheads dress in black and have long hair like that.

Back in the 80s there was a big difference between the two subcultures, but they've blended together a lot. The emergence of goth metal in the early to mid 90s both drove and reflected that development.

I remember being late teens in the early 2000s, and we all identified as "goth" but what we actually liked were mosh pits, smoking ditchweed while lying around old church cemeteries, and having fights with the other teenagers who'd do laps of the town on their learner mopeds

Later I met my ex's sister and her boyfriend, who were 24/7 uncompromising goth lolita and throwback post-punk respectively, regardless of context or ability to afford life essentials that weren't Louis XVI's wig or Terry Funk's pants, and so occasionally I'd end up on a log flume or at a hockey game with Petticoats Darkly and the bastard son of Sid & Siouxsie, where it was considered imperative that I play this entirely straight at all times

In conclusion, goth is a land of contrasts, and chiunque puņ essere "goth", and so on and so forth
