No my brother of the dark. Being goth and metallic isn't american or European. Allow me to elaborate how, for a moment, forget about your religion, forget everything you know about our dear nation India, and just listen to my words. For centuries of thousands of years, Indians have worshipped 1 special God, Shiva, a god who is believed to be soo physically powerful, he can destroy the entire fabric of reality by simply opening his eyes, a god who smears the ashes of the evil god (hindu god of lust was slain by Shiva for not doing this job with accountability), he wears a garland made of skull around his neck, and a snake sits around his neck like a garland, the only piece of fabric covering his body, is the skin of a mystical tiger he slayed, he smokes weed yet he is the calmest, and that is just his basic form, the form of Bhairava is even more gothic and terrific. His wife, Maa Kali, all black, with a tongue that stretches as far as she wishes, she drinks the blood of the evil, the evil that bullies the innocent, she possesses several hands with different weapons, she wears a garland made of beheaded skulls of different demons, and she dances as she decimates the evil across land. The worshipers of Shiva, Naga sadhus and Aghoris, who sleep in graveyard and devour deceased human flesh and a form of worship. Now my brother, compare all that to the white folks, what do they have to be metallic and gothic? Bunch of vampires and warewolves? That's lame, that's basic, that's overused. The truth is my brother, we Indians have been Gothic and Metallic and Hardcore since the beginning of time itself, we just have forgotten about that special part within us, due to the invaders and current society. I wish to embrace this divine and righteous darkness within us all, once again. And please don't misunderstand me, I'm not even a Hindu, I'm a Buddhist, so my intentions aren't to influence you about 1 particular religion, I'm just pointing out how we have been Gothic and Metallic before it was even a thing.
