Meme rant
Someone asked what meme stood for. The worst meme I've ever seen attempted to determine how "Goth" I was. Gothic enough to know that Goth is fucking NOUN. The absolute peak of it's failure came when it asked me who my hero was. And gave names. I chose Andrew Eldritch. Partly because I respect Andrew, I think he's intelligent, frank and genuine. And he uses the same Operating System as me. But, mostly because I had no damned idea who any of the others where. . My hero is Linus. And what would I bring with me to a graveyard? I live in a fucking VICARAGE. I don't HAVE to bring stuff to the local graveyard. I can throw it there beforehand. If I ever decided to kill myself I could JUMP INTO AN OPEN GRAVE FROM MY WINDOW. And as if I would go to Christian land. I don't even intend to be BURIED in a graveyard. Even overlooking this, my actual choice (sketchbook and pencil) NOT LISTED. So, this test attempts to decide what kind of Goth you are, but the questions FLAUNT the opinion that all Goths are the same. Goth's aren't even SIMILAR. I'm mainly hippy FGS. The best meme ever is "Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?". Partly because you can almost always find an option which suits your mentality, but mostly because they gave me Sephiroth and Kuja. The other problem with memes... "which Angel are you most like?" I DON'T CARE. Find me an "Are you really Gay?" or "Where do you come on the Autistic Spectrum" meme. I'll take that happily. Or I could make some of my own. "Which of the Sisters of Mercy are YOU most likely to get sniffing up your leg in a hip party in the middle of Berlin?", "What kind of MAILMAN would you make?", "What kind of GOTH should you avoid most?". The Great thing is the same answer works for EVERYONE!
