"And for those of you employees who proudly wear all the little piercings, dye the hair 15 shades of puke purple, men wearing the makeup, so and and on, one you are not Gothic and do not comhprehend Gothic. It is not wearing leather belts and having 25 holes in one earlobe. It is not sporting the same tattoos that 500000 in your state have, not writing the same pathetic attempts at poetry, not listening to the same music that your mother is listening to. Face facts, goth is about individuality, getting the same piercings, tatts, listening to the same exact music is not unique it is conforming. In reality you are all wearing little uniforms of conformity and are embarrassments to the real sense of Goth. Its not about what you wear, what you do, its about who you are."

Obviously, hemlockboy is saying here is that jobbing at Starbucks isn't TRUE bartending in the dark. That might well be true, but I wish I could hear the story behind his realization.
