Teen Gothic

In today’s age goth is labeled as cool somewhat depends or in early 2000s people would get bullied for being from the norm . but in the 80s how was that life like . And I know bands hate being labeled but I’m talking about the bands pov. What did they think a goth was in there time that, that name had a bad rep . How would they be described

The only thing I have conjured a small detail which is funny

Andrew : ME GOTH how ?I wear pyjamas or shorts in my house

That’s was a funny statement from Andrew

Would he think goths wear there garments at home ??

How did bands perceive typical goths in 80s

Hello, I’m getting around the checking out Red Lorry Yellow Lorry and don’t entirely know where to start!! Please provide your favorite Red Lorry Yellow Lorry tracks. Thank you.

Or menace to the system ? I personally found this dumb to judge or stereotype an entire community for what they wear. I feel like society was made for everyone to blend in and be normal and when someone goes out the script who was planned for them they are treated as pariahs. The darker part of clothing also shows a face of life that most people wanna deny, but goth people seem to embrace it to the fullest.

After all clothes often represent who you are as a person since its the first thing that strangers sees on you. But most normies think that dark style equal depression evilness and other negative feelings. Even if some goths can be in a bad place mentally. i would argue that its more about embracing the darker side in a healthy way.

To conclude, goths and other alts arent scared to show their individuality and embrace everything about the underworld in a positive and healthy manner. I wont say that im a baby bat because i have my own style but as someone who also into the dark and vamp culture goth clothes still play a toll on my style. Anyway just to say that clothes define you as a person, in a external way, but dark doesnt equal evil, most goths are the most beautiful people on the inside.

I’ve got two GA tickets to the Echo and the Bunnymen show at the Rialto next Tuesday the 11th, but can’t go because of work. Free to any fans who will use them, hmu.

Please delete if not allowed. Long time stalker, new poster and I need some help. I’m currently working on a zine about the band Vision Video (Goth Dad’s Band!) and I have a couple questions to help guide my research. Firstly, is the permanent band Dusty and Emily, and if not who are the other members? That sounds fake fan-ish, but I’ve had such a hard time finding that information. Lastly, do you have any recommendations for interviews with them, particularly interviews with Emily or about Emily? Again, there’s not a lot I’ve been able to find.

Have some art I made a long while ago during my nightmare finals as a thank you in advance!

I was watching Urban Legend and the goth character is portrayed as someone who is manic depressive and promiscuous. After watching this movie, I started thinking about other goth characters in movies and tv shows and how they are viewed and seen as “crazy” or “mentally unstable”. You see Nancy Downes in The Craft literally go insane with power and ends up in a mental institution by the end of the movie, you have various movies and tv shows with goth or alternative characters where they are seen on social rejects who are prone to insanity. The only accurate portrayals of goths I have seen in media is South Park’s Goth Kids, and Abbey from NCIS. It’s just a thought I had while watching these types of movies where people assume that a goth or alternative person is “crazy” whenever it comes to media. What do you guys think about this?
