I love meeting elder goths because they’re so excited and impressed when you know like The Virgin Prunes or Corpus Delicti. It’s so cute

A talk with Parisian elder goths: 

“And in the eyes of Parisian goths (and French goths in general, of this I'm sure) what makes one goth is NOT ONLY the music, it is the combination of a bunch of things : music, clothing, participation in the scene / lifestyle, a taste for the macabre, dark literature, and certain personal inclinations.“

If you’re a lover of classic literature too, we can be friends.

What's the eldergoth scene like?

Tired, a lot of the time. We’re lured out of our tired, hermit-like ways for big fancy events, or for reunion tours of favorite bands. A lot of us want to go out to club nights more often, but work schedules / family life / chronic illnesses / budgets make it difficult. 

But given a chance, we will flock together in dark clusters, talking about bands we’ve seen, books we’ve read, clubs that no longer exist, and makeup and fashion tips we’ve figured out as we’ve gotten older.

I hope I speak for the rest of the eldergoths when I say that we also love watching the newer members of the subculture learn about things. Seeing folks newly-giddy with enthusiasm helps rekindle our own dark joy.
