## - News of the GOTH :: Headlines :: OFFICIAL :: Edinburgh Goth Scene
Attracts Numerous Mentally Ill Teens. Research says "Most self-harmed
before becoming a Goth, suggesting they chose the subculture
because they felt their emotional distress would be understood...."

# Goths 'more likely to self-harm?' Self-harming is a strategy for
coping with serious emotional problems Teenage Goths are more likely
to self-harm than those in other social groups, a study has found.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4905898.stm

# MRC Glasgow Study by Bob the Vampire
Prevalence of deliberate self harm and attempted suicide within
contemporary Goth youth subculture: longitudinal cohort study
http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/rapidpdf/bmj.38790.495544.7Cv1
- it must be true, a vampyre researched and wrote it up!

[This story contrasts with the latest GOTH RESEARCH by Dr Dunja
Brill and may account for why the goth scene in Edinburgh is so
poisonous. I have heard stories that troubled impressionable teens
at the Sick Kids YPU meet there and decide to join the goth scene.
Add manipulative gossips, evil promoters and older loonies and
you have a recipe for a crap scene. See 'Upwardly Gothic' at ::

It seems likely that the new generation of disturbed teens will be
drawn to EMO and will hopefully leave the goth scene alone. The atmos-
phere in the Edinburgh goth scene is poisonous enough without any
more malicious 'care cases' on prozac, putting on black t-shirts
and causing yet more trubble in it. Nightnews comment ~ all

## - Nightnews says Alternative Music is changing :: Post Punk,
New Wave, Experimental Burlesque and Punk Cabaret is the way
forwards. EMO will capture the emergent Youth market. Clubs that
don't play the latest in their genres will wither away. New
promoters will replace crap old promoters. These are some of
the new clubs Nightnews will be supporting in the months to come.
Healthy Goth Culture will persist and grow into a massive counter
culture global market inaccessible to mainstream music corporations.

# Gothy Etiquette
http://www.gothic-charm-school.com/
Remember kids, putting on a black t-shirt in Edinburgh, waving
glowsticks and saying you are a goth does not make you a goth nor
does it give you free licence to be a malicious little f*cktard.
In fact it could be really bad for your karma.
