it is genuinely funny when tumblr users suggest combining types of fashion that they think are totally disparate and it’s something goths have been doing for decades
This goes deeper than you’d think…a lot of the time when tumblr throws together an outfit out of like a Victorian blouse and a corset and strappy pants and boots. Or something. That’s just what goths might wear to the club, black really isn’t the only color on the goth palette…even that wizard outfit post with the robe and the thigh-high boots is something you could wear to a goth club without looking out of place
All those posts from a couple of years ago joking about “teehee goth cowboys uwu” like Fields of the Nephilim didn’t make that one of THE standard looks for masc goths since the mid 80s.
Pirates? We’ve done it. Combined with our ethnic dress? We’ve done it. Candy colors? Done it. Anything historical? Overdone at this point. 1920s? Also seen it. Hippie? Done. Rockabilly? Sick of it. Fantasy inspired? Extremely done. Futuristic? Extremely done too.
Circus? DOES THE 00s DARK CABARET AESTHETIC MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?
80s? THAT’S HOW IT STARTED.
