Teen Gothic

Tonight we dive into the dark underworld of Gothic Rock! Rising from the ashes of late 70s punk, Goth Rock mixed the batwing style of Bram Stoker's Dracula with bizarre sentiments, black humor and a big beat. This classic episode (part of the Night Flight Series 'Twenty Years of Rock N' Roll Style') is a tour de force of goth bands and their myriad solo offshoots. Fittingly kicking off with Bauhaus' "Bela Lugosi's Dead," this episode also features music from Peter Murphy, Love and Rockets, The Damned, Sisters of Mercy, Fields of the Nephilim and more. Hope all you post-punk ghouls enjoy!

My dad, uncle and their mates all grew up in the 70s so you can sort of see where this comes from. They would have admired kiss when they where about 10 before growing out of it. They all took turns posing with me and making gene Simmons faces for the camera and I didn’t know how to take it lol. It got me wondering, would you guys take it as a compliment or feel belittled like they see your style as a costume?? Its the first weird encounter I’ve had due to my clothing so it was quite unexpected heheh
