Get some tattoos too.

Goths always want to be different so they look like all the other goths.

They all look like tickey tackey and they all look just the same!

I live in New York City. Everyone here wears all black. Grandmothers, people at the gym, I’ve even seen black baby strollers. It’s been that way all my life.

Are you also going to get some sunglasses and a pen that flashes a red-light too?

You are now banned from the League of Nonconformists! (Just like all the others…)

Reminds me of the old slogan, “Anarchists of the world, unite!”

Good thought, Skylar!

I have a lot of black in my wardrobe.

A rebel with a cause.. be-cause everyone’s doing it.

I could never fit in with them, especially in the heat of summer….

You’ll be conforming to the nonconformists who are nonconforming noncomformists…

It is amazing how garb meant to project your iconclasm quickly morphs into a tribal display.

Even nonconformists like to fit into a group. It all depends on if that group defines its actions and beliefs far enough from the main stream. Besides, how does one become a nonconformist in today’s world. You’d be paralyzed by trying to different from all the freak shows out there.

So all the agents in Men in Black goth?

I just tuck my shirt in and wear a belt. Leaves everyone else in the dust.

“Just remember that you are unique! Just like everyone else!”

Skyler will stop wearing black when he learns what happened to the 4 and 20 other blackbirds.

Skylar’s going for the “Johnny Cash” look!

Dad advised that his tailor advised Midnight Blue, ’cause Black looks ashy under florescent lights..

You’re unique, just like everyone else.
