   • 1998, "apriori", 1000000 Washington Wacko Lunatics voted down 676 (on newsgroup talk.politics.guns)

     Well, yes, 'normal' people _do_ recoil from me, although not because of my views on guns. They avoid me because I'm a goth...a pale-faced, long-black-haired, facial jewellry-wearing, fishnet shirt-clad leftist darkwaver in black lipstick and boots.

   • 2004, "DJ Brian UK", The Darkness (on newsgroup alt.rock-n-roll.metal.oldschool)

     When they first started, they wanted to trick all the goths, mansonites, ebmers, darkwavers etc etc into coming to their shows, therefore chose the name to confuse them, so they could unleash their "RAWK" assault of insanely high falsetto vocals, kickass guitar solos and mind bogglingly catchy songs about girls, love and sex.
