Having been an Industrial/ Fetish Goth for several years I felt I should reply and explain why we look the way we do. Act the way we do and so forth. But what I think Jah is really after are what Makros so perfectly describes as Mall Goths. And since Makros basically covered it, no need for me to ditto his response. These kids seem to be the ones who starve for attention and make asses out of themselves. Hot Topic was made for them. Real Goths don't shop at Hot Topic. Real Goths probably wouldn't go to a mall for clothes. Real Goths probably wouldn't walk around all sad and gloomy starting shit with someone for no reason. So I think, Jah, it's the Mall Goths you want answers on.

 

I will say that how a person feels or acts in your presence should be of no concern to you if it in fact it's not harming you in any way. If it's "visually" bugging you, look the other way. If you find that that's just not an option... then maybe you should deal with your own ignorance first. Then deal with theirs...

okay...i personally do not know WHERE "goth" started...but i do know it all started in the medeval period.

 

as you know...there are gothic writing syles (real writing not graffiti writing) as well as gothic buildings and other archeitecture. these exist because they were originally created in the medeval period or time.

 

now thats great, but what about gothic people? well...REAL gothic poeple are basically very much in love with medeval times. REAL goths will often wear attire that shows medeval influence. thats how that ties with the time period .not all goths wear necessarily DARK clothing, but its not really bright either. its all influenced by the medeval period...who the hell wore bright colors back then? haha. not even sure if they existed...but whatever.

 

somehow, im necessarily sure, but somehow this influence also became making sadness a lifestyle. i dont know why exactly sadness became the lifestyle, but i can guess at why. look at the gothic buildings and the other stuff from that time period...looks rather gloomy and down woudnt you say? this may have not necessarily changed peoples mind to become sad, but maybe that was what attracted to the time period itself. a person may be incredibly sad over something..maybe like the discovery of how fucking miserable the world is creates this sadness...maybe something else...im sure it depends on the person. this may also be why they choose rather dark clothing...usually black...because it is emotionless...its dull...theres no life to it because the person wearing it feels dead inside or reletively sad. so thats that...sadness is the lifestyle.

 

the music...the gothic music is usually depressing and involves gothic melodies from the medeval period. the world is fucked what can i say.

 

the blood, gore, skulls, blah blah blah...well look at the medeval period...torture and death were like night and day. maybe this is what makes goths so immune to this kind of stuff..or at least appear so. i dont think many real goths are too down with this shit, but im sure there are a good handful...it makes sence.

 

NOW THE MALL GOTHS...(as i call them)...

 

oh jeez mall goths should be baptized in acid...

 

mall goths are what infected the goth culture like violent cancer spreading faster than diararre in a babies diaper.

 

they wear black clothes, shop at commercial stores (like hot topic), listen to shitty mainstream mall metal (or sports metal haha) like korn and disturbed (which in my opinion isnt really metal...its more like poo poos on rap music). they also think they got the world figured out and they are above all when in fact they are fucking retarded. they develop an attitude that is incredibly unessesary. their friends are the main focus on their life because they are nothing without them, thus showing their insecurities. they also like to try to be sad and white incredibly cliche poetry and act is if their life is so incredibly miserable because they dramatize fucking everything. MERDER THEM.

 

As for goths of today....

 

goth, somehow, got morphed and fucked with. i think its proper to call goths industrial and/or rave goths. somehow, people were branching off of gothic music to industrial music. industrial music got more techno like and thus making rave goths. so now at lot of these "goths" are all about raving and making websites because they think they are special and want attention or whatever. look at this. raving as compared to medeval times. what the fuck? NO. IT DOESNT WORK. raves didnt exist back when people were getting their heads chopped off for stealing bread. so here you see how that all got fucked up.

 

FETISH SHIT...

 

pornography is incredibly popular with people these days...fucking disgusts the shit out of me that this happened...but whatever...

 

as you way have seen...there is some pornographic material with dark themes and this gets mixed with goth a lot. this isnt about being goth here...its about having dark desires. now...i dont know about this..i mean...i think rather dark, but i dont see why i would want some girl in tight black pvc shit tying me up and slapping my in the nuts and dumping candle wax in my ass while she whips me in the face with the tail of a dead horse. but then agian...we have people in america who also like seeing people have sex with animals and other fucking garbage...so i dont know much of what else to say exacept...fetish shit isnt goth...its just dark thoughts and fantasies.

 

Gee thats about it i guess...any other questions?

 

(also...where are the gothic writers...i dont think many exist if any...)

 

so you cant be a real goth if you shop in certian places and listen to commercial music? Can I have a goth track that you would recommend, so i could check it out on MP3 (or is the 'real' stuff way too underground and backpacky!?),,,

 

:confused: :confused: one of the things i love about graffiti is that its not one of those 'cultures' or lifestyles that you need an image or have to listen to a certain type of music to be 'down' with... Its what you make of it.

 

anyway...

 

All I can really understand about a goth (correct me if im wrong) is that they are 'kind of' reinacting the past? like historians but actually acting the erra that they are intersted in?

 

I dont get the wanting to be depressed bit either... I think everyone realises at somepoint that life is pretty fucked up, but why mope about man, just fucking get on with it and try to enjoy it... become a train painting alki :idea: :crazy:

 

please endarken me more...

you've ever thought to yourself 'wow man, thats one bitchin wizard'

 

you've ever desired to change your name to anything with a Z or an X in it, ie: azerian, xenaxa, azreal etc...

ya know, i totaly know the rule, i just type so fast (roughly 75 wpm) that i dont really think about it. its the same reason i never use apostraphys. cause i just dont care enough to take the time to reach over and hit the key. chalk it up to lazyness....

real goths can show and listen to whatever they like...but i can almost guarentee they dont like commercial shopping nor music. a lot of goths just make their own clothes. i would say that if you dont dig goth music, dont like gothic clothing, dont like anytihng really about the medeval times, and dont feel any sadness...you arent goth. thats the thing with labels...they constict you. a lot of goths dont like the label thing and dont even say they are goth. those are the truest ones i beleive. the ones who flaunt it are kinda asking to be ackknoledged as "i listen to DIFFERENT music and i like DIFFERENT clothing and i am overall DIFFRERENT." well sure..maybe they are different from mainstream society, but flaunting your difference is a flaw in my book. dont flaunt anything.

 

as for mp3s...i never really liked a lot of pure goth music...so i cant really remember any...i do like some gothic metal. tristania is some good gothic metal i like. ancient is another gothic metal band, but i dont like them.

 

just go one www.besonic.com and search the gothic category...chances are you will find some real shit. you will know when you hear really depressing music with a guy singing all worrysome. haha. thats that.

 

farewell.

Okay, I am not trying to be disagreeable, or start anymore beef. That said, I think everyone missed the core of the question in the post. What exactly is goth and where did it come from? I don't know much about hip-hop, but it is debated so regularly that I have a good idea of its origins. Same with reggae, etc? I think most outsiders have a hard time understanding the premise behind goth, the core beliefs, why so damn dark, etc. I would be curious to hear from someone in the goth scene to try and explain this as well.

 

thanx. that was more of the point of the question than its relativity to graff. but i always end up not wordin my shit right and comin off offensive and yea that was my fault.

 

 

k..666. thanx for the info. that clears things up quite a bit. the only picture of goth kids i had were the stereotypes (mall goths). either way, seeks right that it shouldnt matter even if someone wants to be a mall goth, its just not really rational to me. but ive learned that that doesnt matter so fuck it. but one more thing. i always saw old pictures of gothic cathedrals and chruches and stuff from the medeival era so i dont understand why goths always are sayin 666 and whatnot. even u. whats up with the devil worship man??? not raggin on u it just never made sense to me (mainly cuz of the whole church thing).

 

 

peace

goths dont always go on about 666 and "the devil" or "satan". Thats mall goth style. Why do i use the 666 thing? Well i havent been throwing it around anymore like i used to, but i basically tossed it around for fun because people, like you, are like "whoa what the fuck is this shit". it was basically for my own fun to see people getting weirded out by a fucking number. Seriously...if you get weirded out by the number 666, then you must laugh at yourself. Look at the logic behind that...it is a NUMBER. THAT IS IT.

 

As far as this devil worship you speak of...pfff i dont beleive there is a devil. The devil is a creation of religion. The devil is supposed to be this evil entity that punishes you if you dont obey the guidelines of the religions that claim there is one. Basically, if you dont do what the religion says...you are punished for all eternity or whatever. Gee thats a bit restricting. "Dont live your life...do as we say or mythological creatures will devour your soul and slave you for eternity." Garbage. Well like i was saying...devil worship...no. Dont beleive in the thing.

 

Some people do the devil worship thing and claim to be so fucking scary and unreligious...hahaha i laugh in their face because they are worshipping something that 1: was created through religion thus making a contradiction and 2: its mythology. You dont see me getting nervous about swimming at a beach because i didnt give a proper sacrifice to Posidion the Greek god of the ocean. Its myth. Blarg Blarg.

tight. i have a whole new respect for goth now. and i see where ur comin from with the number theory but its somewhat irrelivent because its not the number that people are wierded out by its what it symbolizes. and the thing about religion is that its just a symbol as well. true, most religious people blow it way out of proportion but its used as a tool to promote peace and good morals. a lot of religions have been twisted to make people act (ive been sick lately and my minds clouded so i cant articulate what i want to say as well i usually could so my choice of words arent perfect but its the best i can do right now) according to what other people think is right. i believe god is really just our conscience pretty much. when people say that theyre gonna go to hell for certain things its pretty much just sayin that those are things that are better left undone. so true, the devil is just a manifestation of the human mind but there is meaning behind the word still. dig? ok. thats why i dissaprove of the devil worshipping. but again, who gives a fuck what i think???

You guys must be fucked when you want to goto the beach. you will loose that lovely pale tan and have to loose the dark clothes. oh no, your 'cool', empty and dull image is gone!!

 

 

Fuckit man, you really have not expanded on this goth stuff in much depth other than slagging off 'unreal' goths. Which has lead me to belive there is no real depth to being a goth.

 

Sorry to shit on your parade, but i guess your quite used to that in your 'sad' little life.

ya,it is a fun time........

I'm glad the explanation was given about the difference between mall goths and the real goths or whatever you call them. I have a friend that is goth, she dresses in dark colors, black hair, listens to siouxie and the banchees, the smiths, and all that crazy industrial shit. But this girl is cool as fuck.. she's not all about blaming the world for her problems and scowling at everyone who's hose dont have runners in them. She's just a normal girl, funny as fuck, not overweight tryin to shove a fat theigh in black vinyl.. she doesn't only talk to and hang out with other goth's, she's into indie rawk and she was all stoked on a BELA FLECK cd i played for her the other day. I got off track, sorry. My point is, she's good reguardless of if she dresses darker or listens to darker music, she's still a cool fuckin person.. Most goth people just make it really hard for me to like or respect them even the slightest bit. But then again, most goth people i've seen or met are the mall kind makros666 was talkin bout.

Seeking, yeah, I do listen to Marylin Manson. I like his music. I don't care much for his attitude or his morals and his image I can sometimes do without. Although at times I'm envious.

 

The only true Goths I can think of are the Bauhaus lads. I think that was actually the beginning of "recognizable" Goth music as well. But I'd say Dead Can Dance and Elijah's Mantle are deep rooted in the scene whether they want it or not. Their music is definitely on point for that culture's "era". Even bands like Death in June, Sixth Com and Current93 are heavy Goth bands. Most of your Mallrat Goths wouldn't know what the hell you were talking about were you to mention any of those bands. Mallrats like the Slipknot, Dope and MM shok-rock. It's a far cry from what Goth once was and still is in cities like LA and San Francisco.

 

I'd say real Goth is what you seldom see. Real Goths don't flaunt it. Don't advertise it. They just are. For the same reason you may be in to Hip-Hop or Hardcore. You enjoy the music, the scene and the people associated. You feel the lyrics to the songs. It's a mood you can associate with and understand. Something that you can be apart of and feel right. The outer shell is something that comes with the territory. Like FUBU or Bomber jackets for those cultures I mentioned earlier. Goth isn't something you try to understand. Neither is Hip-Hop or Hardcore. It's something you feel. If you don't... move on

 

Makros is on point about making their own clothes. My old girlfriend made all her own shit. She even studied with this woman who made corsets. Crazy shit. Hell... she was crazy so I guess it worked out...

I'm down for whatever. I like the goth look, like the black clothes and stuff, on girls. I think it's pretty sexy. Not the low self esteem high school girls that walk around the mall with shirts that say "normal people scare me", but like some girl with the cute "mune" haircut and pale skin and some fishnets and stuff. Throw some tattoos in there...no tribal. That shit looks damn good.

I didnt bother reading his gibberish so correct me if im wrong. Why do you assume hes white? And whats with "white kids such as yourself" sounds like you say white "kids" or maybe "people" are ignorant or somethin. I guess im just in an argumentive mood...
