Whatever Happened to Goths

[(Anonymous)]

I remember as a teenager finding them attractive in an alt androgynous kind of way, but you don't seem to get them anymore.

Re: Whatever Happened to Goths

[(Anonymous)]

I thought this said what happened to goats.

But goths just kind of fell out of fashion, I guess. Kind of like hippies.

Re: Whatever Happened to Goths

I thought they evolved into emos.

Re: Whatever Happened to Goths

[(Anonymous)]

No, goats didn't evolve into emus. They're completely different classes.

Hee! XD

IDK, I was friends with goths and punks in high school and my step-brother was emo for a bit and they all swore that they were distinct entities.

So goth is to emo as dinosaur is to bird, and at one point after the split they were still existing together, but then the dinosaurs all died.

Cultural Appropriation

[chardmonster]

You know all that worry about cultural appropriation and how it's going to literally destroy cultures?

Pity the Gothick people, pushed out of their lands by Hot Topic posers, closeted until Halloween, clutching Monster High dolls and sobbing, sobbing, sobbing

Re: Whatever Happened to Goths

[dethtoll]

goths -> emo -> scene

apparently this means we are progressing as a society? beats me, bring back joy division

Re: Whatever Happened to Goths

[(Anonymous)]

They(/we, on occasion) still exist! Mostly, they grew up and can't really do the whole goth thing at a job, and so dress up and stomp around on weekends at goth clubs. Which are still a thing, at least in CA. I have at least a couple of friends who are still pretty hardcore about it, and do the full-out goth thing in day-to-day life outside of work.

But yeah, it's not a thing that "kids these days" really do, so you don't generally see it outside of dedicated spaces.

Re: Whatever Happened to Goths

[(Anonymous)]

lol someone posted this question on AskReddit just now.
Now I'm laughing wondering if it's someone who read it here and thought to ask there or if it's a random coincidence

Re: Whatever Happened to Goths

[(Anonymous)]

Link?

Re: Whatever Happened to Goths

[cbrachyrhynchos]

they discovered beige, glued some gears on it, and became steampunk.

Re: Whatever Happened to Goths

Damn you, now I'll have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

Re: Whatever Happened to Goths

I love how everyone in this thread is just assuming that the whole scene is gone, one way or the other. It's still kicking around, same way punk is, and every so often someone poodles along and says 'punk is dead' or 'all the goths grew out of it' and we all come out of the woodwork to shout at said person.

That said, most of the community I know of is online now. It's a hell of a lot harder to find a good goth club or even a club that has a goth night, and most of the alt stores in my area have shifted their focus from Tripp clothing to psychobilly and corsetry. But yeah, goth's still there, crossbreeding with lolita and rockabilly and steampunk, biding its time, awaiting the return of the Great Old Ones. (Hey, if the Backstreet Boys can get back together, then so can Bauhaus.)

Still alive here in Germany. Or undead. Whichever you prefer.
