1. patchouli isn't awful, and I smell of it right now. it is in my nightly bath oil.
I dont know if that is the scent you are after though. Generally a mix of tobacco, cloves, and herby booze is acceptable goth stench. I suppose patchouli could be part of the mix.
You could try carrying off a whiff of roses and moss though..

NO. it is not. has not. how ridiculous. emo evolved from one kind of music and an image reliant on retro sweaters and nerdsville tight dark blue denims to a look involving some mish mash of glam punk goth. Probably an image created by some guy in a fancy chair, somewhere.. who decided it would sell.

no, not really. Maybe just less conspicuous since it isn't such a popular media image right now. There are still hardcore old school goths, at least where I live.. all 'subclasses' and whatnot. There are those that don't dress to that 'scene' anymore, but are still a part of it. There are young ones that are just as involved in the same classic goth night/clubs as the oldschoolers... In all honesty it's probably better this way. I'm no hardcore goth, but I much prefer hearing 'nice boots!' to 'what the fuck are they?' The only time in public I wouldn't get the latter, is if I was in a group. I only dress up when in the company of similar minded dressers now. Maybe I'm boring. My weird magnet never really eased off and it's tiresome to explain and glare after years of raised eyebrow looks.
