It can be problematic, though, in terms of who gets to display such signs.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And it could be awkward trying to figure out who was in legitimate mourning and who was just a goth.

Well, I honestly did wear a black armband for a while. Or a large pin on my lapel with torn black ribbon, or a lapel pin vase holding one of the blossoms from the many floral arrangements people sent.
Not to mention that I feel there's a pretty obvious difference from someone in gothy black and someone in mourning.

The problem is the poser Goths, the ones who would think that it was party of the subculture.

Wearing memento mori is part of the subculture.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
From a no-longer-dressing-the-part-goth: mourning clothes are different. Gothy clothes are ornate, fancy, often distressed. A non goth wearing their only black dress for a week, or rotating through a handful of black tops is very noticeably different than a theatre person or goth who normally dresses in all black, especially if you have any familiarity with that person at all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A touch too soon, methinks.
