Interesting article someone brought to my attention today:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/n.../03/20/ngoth20.xml

Would any goths care to comment? 

Hmm...

/me checks date of article to see if it says April 1st... nope.

Oh well... I guess there may be some inaccurate stereotypes, but I'm glad I don't know any of those weirdoes.

That article, is largely incorrect.

BTW Manson is not part of a goth culture, nor is his style of music.
Manson and his band are actually "Industrial"

I hate the way people label themselves to be honest Why can't people just be people? Not goths, chavs, trendies

To be fair though, most goths that I've met have been okay (if not a little apathetic)

some goths i met  are rather nice...

I didn't say the way we label other people .

People are like, "Yeah I'm a modern-aged new punk goth" (someone said that to me once, I was like wtf).

So you hate people labelling themselves, but you don't mind labelling people yourself? I see.

Bah, I'll explain:

If somebody labels themself, then I think it's a little bit pathetic when they're like "yeah i'm a new-aged rocker on speed". They are what they want to be, so if they want to be called a rocker, I'll call them a rocker.

The only people I don't care about labelling are chavs

I don't respect men who wear makeup.. hell.. I barely respect woman who wear makeup!
