I love black and red together and dark colors +1
I don't like piercings, pale skin, black hair dye, or black nail polish (at least not for myself) -1
I like some tv shows that aren't dark at all -1
Balance +8 Someone let me know if I made any mistakes.

You know, there's no law against not wanting to be pale with black everything.

I (sort of) knew that since (most) goths are quite individualistic.

Goth is like any other subculture: On one hand, everybody pays a lot of lip service to the concept of "individualism", but I doubt anybody would take it seriously if, say, Paul Weller kept the same cloths, and made the same music he always has, but suddenly proclaimed himself to be a "goth" one day. There are not only the common stereotypes of the subculture from the outside (such as, in Goth's case, pale skin, black hairdye, black nail varnish, etc...), but unspoken rules within it. It's generally acceptable for those within the subculture to subvert, bend, and on occasion even break the "rules", as long as it stays in-line with a certain aesthetic and/or philosophy --but displaying a clear ignorance of them will not get one taken seriously within, and only contribute to outside confusion about what the subculture is all about.

Individualism in any subculture is only apparent when compared to the mainstream / overculture --but to those within any particular subculture, a level of knowledge of the rules and thus conformity is expected. It's one of the reasons I don't stick around with any one "scene" or another too strictly, because sooner or later, some-one's going to get "all up in my grill", as the kids say, cos I'm "clearly not [subculture] (enough)". Approach a strict adherent to any subculture as a true individual, and you'll see how fast that talk of "individualism" goes out the window.

Harboured certain details of the above as a personal shave for the last two years, because of activist friends and residual Catholic guilt: -2 (Goths shouldn't be ashamed of this sort of thing, and should laugh in the face of Catholic guilt)

Mad Mad House (assuming you mean the Sci-Fi tv reality series that originated in 2004 or so) is a good show. My only gripe is that while I later became a fan of him - Don Henrie the "vampire" makes the whole vampire scene/culture look like all we are are a bunch of Anne Rice fanatics.

I meannn, I am and totally would dress more *Victorian* but also throw in the occasional medieval cloak into the mix, but I hate how Don makes everyone who identifies as "vampiric" into a cliché.

There needs to be that sense of separation between "goth" and "vampire." Just because both scenes have in the past bled into each other in my opinion, rather WELL doesn't mean they can't exist independently of each other.
