Teen Gothic

Heard a couple of songs and wasn’t feeling pink turns blue latest album. Anyone recommend their favorite off the album.

Hey all! Today I was pursuing my copy of Goth: Identity, Style, and Subculture by Paul Hodkinson, published in 2002. It's an ethnographic study he did as part of his PhD, based on surveying folks at Whitby Gothic Weekend in 1997. Towards the back, this table caught my attention and made me curious about several things.

Now, this sample size is very wee relatively speaking, so I'm not sure about the veracity of this data. But still, it's curious to me that things like thrift/charity shops/hand-me-downs aren't explicitly called out here, with how much people emphasize this method of building out your wardrobe these days. Is it possible that secondhand clothing could be rolled into the first category? Near where I live, there are goth-oriented flea markets where people set up tables for secondhand clothes, which is why I wonder.

Additionally, the segment accounting for DIY is tiny. More people seem to not bother with the clothing at all, rather than make it by hand. And to that point, I don't know if "handmade" is meant to indicate completely making something from scratch or modifying something pre-existing.

Any opinions of any sort on this are welcome. Especially if you remember this festival from around this time period. And if you know of any sources of more updated information, I'm very interested in that.
