My dad's definition of Goth

So I painted my nails black and my dad asked me when I went goth. I thought in my head, "I'm not goth, I just like guys who wear black." Lets face it, people carry a certain style for themselves and also to attract a certain type of person. Your personal style (even if you're not trying) says "this is the kind of person I feel like I am inside, if you think you can connect to this, let's be friends." Besides that, I could never claim my style as "goth" to any extent. It's pointless to label some styles because the "definitions" are constantly changing. Black finger nails 10 years ago would have tied you with a "goth" style, whereas today it has become much more mainstream. Does anyone remember that short point when Carson Daly had a select few nails painted black on TRL? When he did that, a lot of people thought he was trying to be hard-core or "goth" in some way. Today, black nail polish is more "acceptable." Anyway, I still did it cause I always wanted to even when it was "unconventional" but was too afraid of what my mom would say. Here's to not being afraid of my mom anymore...whoo! Hahaha. That's silly.

Anyway, they didn't notice the black dye in my hair....
