    How could you obtained one. Isn't it supposed to be a secret document...

    Actually it's not a secret doc . . .it's a book currently in print too . . so u can buy it if u want, online websites like amazon sells it openly . . .also there are downloadable ebooks around.

    Actually the satanic bible in my opinion is a parody of the bible . . .what made LaVey to write this is the experiences he had in his childhood and his dejection about the activities of the church. I'm no satanist . . .but this is a work of art which can be appreciated.
    BTW I've got no comments about the church of satan which LaVey founded.

    As I think and As I experience, Goth and Emo are not personnal qualities. They are Fashon statements and Music Trends.

    I think u'r contradicting u'r self :P

    A sub culture is not just how you dress up and makeup. Let me explain how wide a lifestyle can span...
    Fashion(Dress, Makeup), Music, Dance, Literature, Religion, Medicine (Drugs), Foods (recipes), House Decoration, Automobile, and finally Sex and Behavior.
    It could mean the whole life for someone.

    I believe what u said earlier . . .same as for every subculture . . it's not only a fashion statement and music . . .(i admit music plays a large role) it's a lifestyle . . including personal qualities. . an emo will try to absorb the mechalony in the culture to his/her soul and try to appear depressed . . .so what u express outside is what u got inside. :)

    From History: Goth is an ancient Baverian (German) tribe. There were two tribes of them VisiGoths and OstroGoths. They fought against the Vandals. They contributed to the pre Victorian architecture greatly. Goth culture originally had a beautiful romantic literature which gave inspiration to the modern day Goth lifestyle.

    The goths were the ones who finally defeated the roman empire. They originated in scandinavia as far as i can recall, and they settled in current germany and austria. What they brought to central europe is the scandinavian tradition. They sure had a beautiful culture and tradition.
    But in current context gothic architecture refers to the central euopean architecture . . and gothic literature is the pre victorian and victorian literature which used gothic (cental european) locations, traditions as backdrop. egs are Frankenstein and Dracula. The mystic nature of these backdrops and the admiration about a lost culture gave a horror like quality to gothic novels.

    What we have as a subculture is nothing near the original culture of the tribes of goths who lived in central europe. What we have today use the backdrop of victorian gothic literature to express a sense of doom and depression while thinking deeply different from the "rational" world. Today's gothic culture has surely absorbed some elements . .but it's not the historic goths. What we get today is something modern . . .it's qualties are the hate for the stramlined sense of today's world . .Goths prefer the roughness of the earlier ages where u are your own god . . .it's opression which creates a goth out of person . . he/she wants a new lease of life and gets it through the subculture.

    Actually if alternative subcultures were nonexisitent . . the sucide rates will be much higher. Alternative cultures help to keep the balance of the society and prevent rupture of the "normal" society by let's say mass suicide due to utter depression.

    My first idea is about the whole collection of subcultures as they were.

    The second statement is about these two specific subcultures in nowadays popular culture context.

    It is not contradiction but two statements on two different contexts.
