I seem to remember Hellfire and Almighty Bollocks Monkey going to a goth shop of some kind in RYL documentary.
I also recall a lot of talk about "chavs" beating up goths (who were called "gofic" - to make fum of them I think?). Then that topic got banned - and there was once talk about banning posting about "emos" as it was deemed unfair somehow by Typsee who had some personal angle on it I never got.
There was a lot of goth style art by members on deviant art. I had a lot of them on my account (its my second fav site) If I was 12 and my mother broke into my dA account and saw what the people I was watching posted she would get upset lol.
For better or worse I recall various RYL eras by the music going around at the time and I dont remember anything as popular (in that temporary pop way) as Evanescence. Then again the Olsens were real popular at the time too. Remember when like every thread had 3 Olsen sigs in it lol?.
