My high school had what I believe to be THE ORIGINAL goth guy. The one that started it all. This guy was goth back in 1987. The guy had this long black hair down to his waist, he wore a black cape with black pants and shirt. However, the freakiest thing was on one hand he grew his fingernails really long, like 2 inches. They were also painted black, but only on the one hand with the long nails.
Keep in mind, this was 1987. Nobody had even heard the term "goth". We just called him Count Dracula (actually nobody called him anything because he scared everyone, even the jocks were scared). Damn, I'll have to post this guy's yearbook picture when I get home.
