It's a Deathrock thing. Safety pins, buttons, torn shirts, deathawks (kinda like mohawks but wider) and eyeliner. And various random 'just plain weird' stuff.

Kinda like this (only the eyeliner got a bit worn out by the time the photo was taken):

Surely you were prettier, not to mention more makeupy in your Goth days. :lol:

It would have been so much more fun if you came dressed like that on Gulan's promotion of SRP...
I would pay gooooood money to see his face then!

Oh, come on, that's pretty much straight* (as in normal). He isn't even wearing a corset, nor a skirt. And where are the New Rock boots? Even the haircut doesn't look girlish... Peasant! Mainstream wannabe! Corporate whore! OK, I'll stop.

It's a Deathrock thing. Safety pins, buttons

Is it just me or does the concept of Deathrock lose any sense of dignity when put in the same sentence as safety pins? They were designed to hold nappies together right? Surely, in the name of credibility, you should use really unsafe pins? Or at least just pins...

He'll just come along and say that safety pins are sooo Punk and everything Punk is sooo cool (kewl even) and that he is sooo proud of the whole Punk-Deathrock connection.

But honestly speaking, nappies as such are an immensly awesome concept. I mean just think about it. It works on so many levels.

As a fashion accessory, safety pins gained popularity amongst the Punk crowd when Sex Pistols displayed that God Save the Queen flag where the queen's mouth was sealed shut with a safety pin. It was used prior to that stunt but I think it was that flag that sealed it forever as a universal punk accessory.

Also, when you're wearing safety pins, you're broadcasting to the world a very important message - I hate the system and I am ready to change baby diapers to prove it. If that's not hardcore I don't know what is.

hardcore is when you use sign language instead of the usual "voice" talk because someone just may be listening around the corner...

thats hardcore :P
EDIT: on the other note, what happened with the "real men wear eye-liner" proverb?
