I'm an autistic(Asperger's syndrome) alternative/emo guy.

Never too old for that.

I'm 39 myself. But I look mid-late 20's. I don't normally feel comfortable saying my actual age.
I'm healthy and I don't have any noticeable fine lines yet...And no grey hairs yet either.

I don't dye my hair anymore,and I don't wear makeup either.
And my hair isn't in my face as much anymore.

But I still have a swooped fringe hairstyle which I love.
I wear graphic tops usually Black Craft Cult clothing,or Drop Dead clothing.
Dark skinny jeans,Nike SB or Vans high top shoes,studded belts,wristbands,hoodies,beanies.

I'd attach a pic if I knew how to.

I don't actually 'dress' goth (I've never had a sense of style) but I do like a lot of gothic art and music if that counts?

I like stuff like Saetia and Orchid, if that counts.

I've grown to appreciate some of the music rather late in life. I don't know any goth or emo people and the friends I do have complain that I'm listening to "glue sniffer music" :P

I'm not gothic. I don't know what I am really. I think I'm just working class common.

I don't know any goths but I've always liked the aesthetic of it. I'm always very appreciative of groups who make an effort to stand out sartorially. We used to have punks and mods and hippies and skinheads, they all had their own uniforms. Now everyone seems to dress/look more or less the same. But the goths are still going strong.

I liked the band Placebo in the late 90s. They were sort of goth.

Nope, I am not alternative, emo, or goth.

"Emo culture" was very popular back in the 2000s, but IMO, it could be making a comeback.

I suppose I'm alternative, I'm an aged punk rocker.

I'm not any of those things, but when I was 11-13 emo was still kind of "in" and I liked to pretend that I was emo. :lol:

My 11, almost 12 y.o. cousin mentioned having emo kids at her school, so apparently it's making a comeback! 8O

My sister is what I call "perky goth". Just like the character Abby from NCIS. :lol:

She wears black leather jackets and dresses and black boots and dyes her hair funky colors, has multiple peircings, and tattoos covering her whole body. But she has the nicest, funniest personality of anybody i know. :)
