So I may not have had a gothic childhood, but childhood makes its own gothicity.

I had a gothic phase, and now I'm more edgy chic.

I'm not really into gothic music, it's not really my type of scene but each to their own. I listen to pretty much anything.

I wouldn't consider myself Goth, but I love Gothic pieces.

I'm definitely incredibly attracted to the aesthetic of what is typically deemed goth stuff, but. A lot of my experience growing up was in being around that kind of thing, and it's just what sinks into a person's brain.

When I look back, it was a strange period in my life, looking at my childhood and then my teenage years and forming Slayer when I was still 17, not out of high school.

What I've absorbed of the gothic or paranormal has come mainly from films.

As a kid, I was obsessed with myths and legends and the haunting beauty of gothic stories.

I was a fan of heavy music - first metal, then punk, then hip hop.

Southern Gothic is alive and well. It's not just a genre, it is a way of life.
