Question for you Emo/Goth peeps

[Laststop]

I recently saw a Goth person in fiction. Oddly enough, it was a comedy. But the Goth person was talking about suicide. Making it out like it's a common trait for a Goth person to be preoccupied with suicide. Can you Goth/Emo people, past and present, say if that's really a common thing it the lifestyle?

Arent these subcultures nearly dead anyway?

While it's prob a little over the top in movies and such it does fit with their philosophy

I thought the same thing. But the source I saw this from is older. Late 90s, or early 2000s. Maybe they still exist somewhere? Like NYC. Maybe they never changed, and the fad came and went, but it never made a difference to them? I remember seeing some of them in the early 2000s. The city I live in gets very hot in the summer, and a small group of them walked past me when I first moved here. I wondered how they could stand wearing all those layers of black clothing? They didn't last here long, and I haven't seen one in a long time.

They don't have to wear the clothes to think suicide is edgy and be preoccupied with all things morbid. I don't get it personally it's about a million miles away from where I am
