“subcultures are liable to influence extensively the everyday lives of participants in practice, and that, more often than not, this concentrated involvement will last years rather than months”
― Paul Hodkinson, Goth: Identity, Style and Subculture

Jennifer L. Armentrout
“Do you think he looked for the house that was already decorated in black and white? I asked, wondering how we ended up with angel-palooza.

Probably. He needed a place as deep and dark as his troubled thoughts. Arum are goth like that.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, The Brightest Night
