We're getting tired of people posting about it so this is the thread we are going to refer people to. No book has ever had 5+ posts in a month in r/goth.

These links have been posted previously. Here they are again so those who haven't read the book can get some insight into what it is about and join in the discussion.

Some quotes people seem to be focusing on the most –

“It’s not really a fashion,” he says. “It’s more of a philosophy in a way of being, a way of approaching the world. And I think that ensures its longevity. It’s malleable, but it’s sort of basic premise is always the same.”

“My life in Goth served as a kind of communal reverse meditation,” Tolhurst writes. “By exploring the darkness of books, films, music, and paintings together, we escaped for a brief moment to better understand the place we all found ourselves in time and space. We kept floating but now (were) a little more liberated."

We have had to remove a few comments and posts using this book to attack people. This will not be tolerated in this discussion. Keep it civil please, be critical and debate but don't insult. Remember the sub's rules.
