EGA = Elegant Gothic Aristocrat. You could Get an explination here, but it's in Japanese.

Interesting that there are EGLs and EGAs old enough to have kids--I always associated the style with teens/early 20s.

Your task is to imagine what a sub-culture based on them might be like.

For a brief moment, I read this as "Gothic Lolita Bible _scams_," which would have pushed the whole business right over the edge into high weirdness.
