I went through a phase of wearing black a lot,
although not as exclusively as other people seemed to think (it seems you only need to wear one black thing on most days for people to say that you only wear black), and I never really got into anything else related to Goth culture even though a lot of my friends were into it. I've got a few CDs by The Cure mind you.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 13:03, archived)

I used to wear a lot of black,
But only because I bought a lot of Band/Show t-shirts and they all seemed to come in either black, white or pink.
(theneet began to cut her hair and long for balls, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 13:07, archived)

I wore black jeans about half the time,
and had a black coat, and I was never that into following fashion. I think that's enough to make you a Goth in most people's eyes. Most of my tops were in all different colours, though. I've never owned a band t-shirt.
( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 13:12, archived)

I used to get that too.
I did have a pair of black jeans and various band t-shirts, but never put in enough effort to be a goth.
( my other username is a porsche , posting shit pictures so you don't have to, Thu 18 Jun 2009, 13:15, archived)

I had a black leather coat
It was a lovely cut, it wasn't in the 'Goth' style, it looked a bit more like a business coat but I still had shaven-head oiks yelling "GOFFF" at me.

I only had Queen band shirts. And one of The Who's shirts. So not really 'Gothic'.

I had a boyfriend who got dreadlocks once
And had the same treatment, but it didn't look good because firstly he'd done it himself, and secondly his hair was short, and pink where he'd lightened it and then tried to dye it red straight away.

He looked a bit like Animal.
