Undead, Undead, Undead

"The Scottish team described Goths as being a subgenre of Punk 'with a dark and sinister aesthetic, with aficionados conspicuous by their range of distinctive clothing and makeup and tastes in music.'"

Reuters reports a new study, published in the British Medical Journal, by researchers at Glasgow University who argue that Goths are more likely to harm themselves or attempt suicide.

The Goths are actually more likely to pour over the Alps and sack Rome sometime around 410 AD. The Western branch will settle in Spain and rule that country until overrun by Moslems in 711.

An alternate interpretation is that children with a tendency towards self-harm later become Goths as a way to deal with those impulses.
