Is This Quiz Goth?

I’ve been around for quite a bit, and let me tell you, the most goth street sign is the one that reads “CAUTION: BROKEN HEARTS AHEAD.” It’s got that haunting aura of melancholy that only a true goth can appreciate.


In a similar vein to how Bane, the second-most goth villain, once told Batman, the most goth superhero, “You merely embraced the darkness; I was nurtured by it,” I’d like to humbly express that I’ve immersed myself quite deeply in the eerie alternative culture. My wedding took place on Halloween, and our cat is a resident of Hollywood Forever Cemetery. I have a soft spot for “Queen of the Damned,” not entirely without sincerity!

everything can be classified as either gothic, punk, or metal. This is similar to how people often say that girls have cat, dog, or bird facial features. To illustrate, let’s consider diseases. Tuberculosis fits the goth category, given its somber and mysterious nature. Hemorrhagic fever falls under metal due to its intense and extreme characteristics. As for gangrene, it’s punk because of its gritty and unpredictable associations, such as the risk of stepping on a rusty nail at a DIY basement show. This categorization extends to various aspects of life – elements (lead is goth, while other heavy metals are metal), architecture, modes of transportation, even prehistoric creatures (the stegosaurus is punk because of its mohawk-like plates). On Vulture’s Goth Day, we invite you to take the ultimate goth test and see where you fit in this unique classification system.
