Helllooo!!! 🙋♀️💌 Yesterday was World Goth Day and i wanted to make a forum about it for @Chantal- but i forgot it!!! 😬😬 By the way: i am NOTTTTTTT a goth even when Chantal wants to make me goth for fun but is ONLY allowed if i can choose HER outfit and hairstyle!!!! 😃
But if u are goth and ALSO if u are NOT goth this forum is for u because it is just for fun!!! 🙃🤭😋🤪🤪 And here is more about the World Goth Day: https://nationaltoday.com/world-goth-day/ if anybody maybe likes to read it!! 🙂
Questions:
1️⃣ What do u think is typical for looking goth?
Honestly, I really dont recall the whole "Goth" as a descriptive until the Columbine School Shootings, but I didn't hang out in that scene so that's possibly why. The people who dressed in that fashion back in the day were just punks like us.
That said... all black and brocade? The look when i was young was black or grey.. leather jackets and berets. The girls wore sateen or crushed velvet skirts with fishnets. I also recall short skirts worn over leggjngs with black chucks or Vans and love & rockets t-shirts. The whole loon pants with mesh shirts wasn't a thing yet.. thank God.
2️⃣ If u are goth what else do u think is from that lifestyle?
I'm not and never was, I into the whole hardcore, street punk, skinhead thing. But DC's scene was small enough where everyone mixed. I went a lot of Madhouse and 9353 shows. I guess you could say they were our local "Goth" bands.
3️⃣ How would u look like a goth and what can we do to make u one (so like WHAT is allowed)? You must choose at least 3 things that we can do!!! 😛
Oh lord. Do my hair up like Robert Smith. Get me a black beret and paint my face white so I scare the sh*t outta my neighbors.
4️⃣ Do you have friends who are goth?
Hahah. Yaaa.. there's a girl I chat with in India who is into that stuff... bandmate is into that kind Death Punk stuff too.
5️⃣ What do u think are things that people often misunderstand about being goth?
All the "goths" i have known were awesome people to hang with. I did recall one girl who was really morose and did a lot self harm... but she was tye exception to the rule.
➡️ New question from @Dracula: Gothics are often connected to depression and vampires, is this true or not?
Drac and I are close in age. Back in the day, the vampire thing was part of the look...it's been overplayed now. See my above comments about the so called depression. We were angsty, not depressed.
➡️ New question from @Dracula: What are ur fave gothic bands?
The Cure in their A Forest and Killing an Arab period. Christian Death, 45 Grave, Madhouse, 9353, Death in June. B-Movie, Rubella Ballet (back in their prime, absolute joke now)... Skinny Puppy..and, course, Bauhaus.
➡️ Do you maybe have a nice goth question for the list?
Thank u very much anybody who wants to answer the questions!!! 🙏🙏🥇🏆 It is just a mini forum for fun!! 😊🥰
no cares about us skins 😅😅
