I respectfully submit that it seems to me by suggesting this is inextricably linked to a cultural phenomenon which has it's origins (in an equanimical sense) in the 19th and 20th centuries, it is you who is being somewhat fanciful...
I happen to agree with Tentacledead and Silverflame that the artists ideas are rather trite, and that if she is a person of character, she should appreciate the fact that people enjoy her work for whatever reason.
The only valid reason I can see for her to view a connection to goth people unfavourably is if she is actually daft enough to believe all that rubbish about Satan worshipping and suicide pacts being the norm in these circles... |
Lesson #1: "architecture and the like"... which covers a broad range of things. I figured anyone with some common sense would take that to mean anything to relating to art.
Lesson #2: Garg started this thread stating that "gothic" people claim the term as their own. I supported his statement by saying that there is a difference between the true gothic style/era and the things that assimilate the name nowadays. I never said this is linked to a cultural phenomenon in ANY fucking century. Quite the opposite, in fact.
And what does equanimity have to do with anything in this conversation?
Get back to me when you know what you're talking about, bub.
