Hey btw idk who lied to some of yall but just to be totally clear you absolutely do not need to be pale or do pale makeup to be goth. You also don't need to be thin or young. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is just some bigot and they're not part of my subculture.

You don't need clear skin. You don't need to be white. You don't need to be pale. You don't need to fade your freckles. You don't need an hourglass figure. You don't need expensive clothing. You don't need to hide your wrinkles. You don't need to lose weight. You don't need to conform to some set of gender roles. You don't need to be able-bodied. You don't need to dress up all macabre and elaborate every single day and put tons of effort into your appearance or wear anything that causes you discomfort.

You don't need to act a certain way, you don't need to look a certain way.

Just listen to the music and follow your heart from there and you're in the club, it really is that simple.

Yeah, I spend a lot of time in my local goth scene, and I've gotten to know its members quite well. It's a large and thriving scene with lots of locations and events that always have a big turnout; in short, it's what most of us hope for.

And most people there don't look like goth influencers with pale, perfectly smooth skin, skinny physiques, and perfect hair and makeup all the time.

A lot are older; some have been goths for 40 years. Plenty of people in their 30s and 40s are in bands that goths of all ages, even kids, even ones who've never been to our city, love and respect as much as any artists in their 20s. A lot aren't white. A lot are visibly queer. A lot more than you'd expect have physical disabilities, autism, etc. (The goth autists in my scene have a running joke that goth wouldn't exist without autism). A lot are fat. Almost none of them are "all gothed out" 24/7; some of my friends run some of the biggest events, wearing elaborate costumes, and then go out for hot pot in jeans and t-shirts. Sure, a lot also look like "conventional" goths at events, but even when everyone has spent hours on elaborate looks for a vampire ball or a fae masquerade, there's a huge amount of diversity in our appearances - and we all look fantastic!

I know social media has a tendency to make us very self-conscious about appearances, especially when it comes to subcultures with very distinctive looks. But I promise like 99% of goths don't care what you look like and are just happy to have you along. And the 1% who do care aren't worth your time, nor are they liked by the rest.

It is not just listen to the music, and it is not simple. Because the music itself is not simple. How did we come from complex existential philosophical, artistic, subversive mindsets, to "just listen to the music ". As if true music was a "just". As if the sentiment/thought that spawn them was simple. As if there was nothing more to it. By saying that, you are vulgarizing what could have been an artistic current to just a party night with disguised people that are no different from common people at all. And that is why the Gothic subculture is stagnant and dying. There is a meaning behind the music, and there is a meaning behind the aesthetic. Just listening is not enough. There must be understanding and affinity.

(With this I'm not saying you must be white or young.)

I'm not saying that the music doesn't have a meaning. I say "just listen to the music" as in "enjoying and caring about the music is the one main requirement for being a goth, not buying expensive clothes or fitting a set of beauty standards". I don't think anyone is or was ever saying that the contents of the music are unimportant or shallow, you seem to be reading into subtext that isn't there.

Similarly, when I say "you don't have to dress up elaborately every single day", I particularly want that message to reach people who can't afford to dress elaborately, or people with disabilities that prevent them from doing so (both physical and mental). It's not to say that dressing elaborately doesn't have a place in the subculture; it's that it shouldn't be enforced on people who may not have the option to, but care about the music and the artists just as much or moreso than the people in black velvet and 20 layers of killstar.

Finally, I want to re-emphasize the last part of what I said: Listen to the music, and follow your heart from there".

As in, when you want to find your style or you want to figure out where you belong in the subculture, reflect on what you love so much about the core of it; the music. Take inspiration in your fashion and your art from the bands and the lyrics you love. You know. The opposite of the sentiment you seem to be projecting onto this post.

Goth isn't dead: there are TONS of small music artists out there waiting to be discovered, full of passion and creativity and making new goth music every single day. Bandcamp is a goldmine. That's like. 90% of the reason I made this blog, to spotlight those smaller artists when I can. And the last sentence of my original post was supposed to emphasize that you should take the time to discover those artists, let their work impact you and think about what it means to you personally, rather than worrying about the superficial idea of what it means to "look like" a goth.

Hope this clears things up for you.

Her mom taught her the ancient lore. This is good.

I learned dances like this from a book.

[gothiccharmschool]

Oh Voltaire. A delightfully silly man.

(I am An Old, and learned these dances by observing the other goths at the club.
