About being 𝔤𝔬𝔱𝔥 & what it is for me

Dear friends,

my mom was a goth in the 90s Germany. She still dresses somewhat dark, listens to the music but is that what makes her goth?

For me being goth isn’t only the music. Yes, the substyle was created through music, through punk. But for me that isn’t only what goth is.

So many people on social media today always think it’s only the music. No. Did people dress goth before the music existed? Yes. Did Emily Brontë wrote Wuthering Heights with Siouxsie and the Banshees? No. Does the Addams Family listen to music? Probably not. Does it make them less goth?

Being goth is not the music, not the politics (only). Music enhances what is already there per mind. The love for everything dark, the interest in anything that isn’t commonly liked. The romanticism that comes with it.

In conclusion I really wanna say, though I am a baby bat, I was always goth at heart. What makes you goth is mind and not body or music. It enhances what already is there.

Yours, your dearest Ophelia 🖤

To all my bats and goths :

as a baby bat where did you all start building fits? Any recommendations for goth stores or second hand stores which aren’t choking me with high prices?
