The choice of a personal Goth is a very individual thing. You should choose carefully and follow your instinct and your heart. Remember, you don’t have to make any pacts, but once you do you should not break them.

  • Think carefully about the aspects that most resonate with you. Remember that a personal Goth is not a copy of you, nor is it an inspiration to aspire to. They are a parallel whose aspects influence your life or, more appropriately, your approach to life.

  • Not usually, no. Remember that you do not have to swear any oath to a Goth right away. You can commune with several Goths for a while, even as long as a few years, to make a decision on which one is right for you.

  • No. There are no specific rules.

    With few exceptions, any goth are open to anyone, regardless of their vocations, personalities, or interests.

Below are some thoughts for you to consider as you begin to choose which Goth you might commune with.
