What do you suppose the gothic subculture does for a living?

Question

Where do goths hang-out, have fun at, ...

Answer 1

They provide hours of laughs and entertainment for the "normal" people out there. No trip to the train station would be complete without checking out those freaky people.

As for what to do for a living: Circus freaks, Medical experimentation and testing, tattoo parlor worker, dishwasher, ditch digger (pretend they're digging up graves!), etc.

Answer 2

Corporate goths
Though some goths gravitate toward workplaces that allow a great deal of personal expression, or simply do not care what employees look like, others work in the corporate sector where certain dresscodes are enforced. They usually add a gothic twist to their ensembles; some would say they wear corporate gothwear, which satisfies gothic tastes in fashion without alienating more mainstream and conservative co-workers, as well as keeping with management policies. Corporate gothwear varies based on individual taste, though a David Bowie influence is often prevalent, as well as 1920s through 1960s styles. Examples include, but are not limited to, a black pinstripe suit and burgundy shirt for men and a black turtleneck and skirt or suit with silver jewelry for women.

A recent study by Sussex University suggests that goths are likely to grow up to be doctors, lawyers or architects, and that goths are usually intelligent, refined and sensitive, and keen on poetry and books

Answer 3

Usually goths hang out at industrial clubs or coffee shops, but those are stereotypical. Goths usually enjoy the same things as those who are not in the subculture. And yes - even sports.

Answer 4

It depends on the type of goth or age, etc.
They definately hang out at industrial clubs.
Anywhere their is industrial music.
If they are hardcore then it wouldn't be somewhere that easy to find.
If they were not that hardcore then they would just be involved in a lot of alternative stuff.
And it depends on their age because if they are older then they understand that they can't hold a decent job, etc by portraying their gothic flavor so they just keep that for afterhours, if they are younger and don't work, they just walk around trying to get attention by dressing freaky and listening to the Cure

Answer 5

originally goths were normal people living normal lives and didn't try to be someone they're not so if you are one then what ever your doing is the answer however the one thing goths had was that they were doing their own thing not trying to copy anyone and now its a fad copied by millions and it really upsets those that were dressing "Gothic" before it became a fad that now they have become sheep like the rest of them.
