Discuss goth music, makeup, fashion that you love. People you admire, gossip, news, etc.

I’d give anything to go back and live in the late 90s/early 2000s. Felt like the perfect time to be a goth. I cant stop watching and reading goth stuff from that time period. It’s too late for me now but that nostalgia….

Are there any goth women that are tomboys/butch or dress androgynous?

>But overall my sentiments align with >>445483 where I think a lot of the stuff look too tacky and costumey for me to fele to ever wear them which is funny because as someone who likes the romantic look, I've fallen for the trap of trying some of their pieces that look romantic only to not feel confident or comfortable in it at all
That's why I can't shop online. The reason I bought the Romwe top is because I could see and feel it. It hits the Romantic vibes and I think if I saw it on the internet, I wouldn't buy it. It's too much of a gamble for me, and I don't like to waste money. I'd be crushed if I bought something that looked romantic and find out the fabric was cheap or it didn't look right. The advice I can give anons who were scammed like that; get an unpicker and buy some material that you like. Unpick the shirt or whatever, and lay that garment over your chosen fabric. Cut out around the pieces and sew a new one. That might seem like a lot of effort, but if the style is right but the material is wrong, it's worth it. Trads did that in the 80s and 90s and I appreciate their dedication. I know it's easier to buy a few things from Shein or Killstar, but I feel like they enjoy scamming us.

I think we tend to romanticise these eras. If you got picked on or harassed for being goth, it wasn't fun. Yes, the clothes were cool but they were expensive. I didn't like Christians chasing me down the street with a Bible to repent and come to God. There were better things like people didn't spend all their time looking at their phones. We actually hung out with friends. The music was ok but bands like Slipknot and Korn were lumped in with goth. You were still the outcast even among alt kids because goth was seen as the extreme end of the spectrum. Goths usually stuck together and it was a relief to see other goths in places because you knew you had something in common.

Even if you didn't get outright picked on, you probably got excluded for being "scary" at some point. It's also nice having easier access to music and zines nowadays, even if not everyone takes advantage of it

I've always felt this way too. Better music and films, usenet groups, concerts and clubs, my favorite era of video games too. Also a higher chance of meeting another "goth" kid even if they were a bit of a poser. You often see groups of goths or at the very least Marilyn Manson fans from the 90s, but I was the only vaguely alternative person at the high school I graduated from a few years ago. Sure there was bullying back then, but I was bullied too anyway and it would have been nice to have a slight chance at meeting at least one similar person. Nowadays most people who dress alternative are boring vapid egirls or pandering to 'big titty goth girl' fetishists

I second that. Music wasn't easy to come by unless you knew other goths. Sometimes it was word of mouth, mostly it was magazines. But obscure bands were hard to find because they weren't picked up by magazines. That's why sites like Vampire Freaks etc were good for people to recommend music that wasn't mainstream goth. And I like how easy it is to access music. I remember it took ages to download an MP3 file with dial up internet.

Late '90s early '00s as being good era for goth music? Maybe if you were all about Sisters of Mercy clones. I can name only like five bands out of top of my head from these times that did not sound like ripping off SoM and side projects of it's members. I don't count bands that started in the '80s here.

Despite all the shit Spotify pulls, being able to find rarities and compilations in a few clicks and listen instantly is pretty great

It's more of poking fun at idea that you have to be of specific features to enjoy gothic rock.

Agreed. I'm happy I can hear music I wouldn't find otherwise. Singers who are unsigned to any label upload their songs to Bandcamp or Spotify and we get to hear them. That's really cool because they aren't pressured to be the next Robert Smith or Siouxie. They just make music for the creative outlet.

There have not been a better time for gothic rock - you can start a band in South America and get listeners on another continents the same week. Unheard of in earlier times.

Why does it even matter to you? There is no obligation to wear or to not wear anything specific. Can't you people just stop caring and just be yourself? It's about music, not the look.

>My favorite ever skirt came from a renaissance festival stall.
I've bought some cool jewellery from Ren faires. Some do leather belts or leather under bust corsets. We can make ourselves unique without looking like Killstar clones.
