Gothiness: 8 Sweatiness: 4
An ordinary poolside scene; children playing, mothers chatting, old men hanging around in the bushes looking out of breath - but hang on, what the Dave Vanian is that? Goth ahoy!
I think perhaps you've overestimated the sweatiness a wee bit. I'm guessing there's a 60/40 chance that Goth is female, & since she's not wearing a top, that has to knock off a point or two.
A friend sent this to me today...and holy crap do I ever LOVE this site. A HUGE thanks to you! I was a wannabe Goth in the late 80s (high school), but the hair only ever made it to duck yellow. LOL I had a number of friends who were much closer to Gothness than I in 1987, and going to the beach with them was confusing. Boots, leather jackets and jeans...at the beach! Gah.
Haha!! I actually know where this is. it's in a town in Germany called Bad Berka. I was there last year for the death metal festival Party.San open air. and yes...a lot of guys with long black hair and pale skin. not really goths, but the joke still works... ;)
I thought goths were afraid of water! I love your site btw.
