Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: GUEST,Matt_R Date: 25 Apr 01 - 10:26 AM Truth be told, Goths scare the Hell out of me! |
Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: English Jon Date: 25 Apr 01 - 10:03 AM Hmmm... Obviously more goth in folk than I thought. Anyone ever do goth stuff in folk clubs? Hastily rushing off to learn "last exit for the lost" on the concertina... English Jon |
Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: hesperis Date: 25 Apr 01 - 09:55 AM Challis - I love that site! I found it when I was looking for the meaning of hesperis. Here's your blue clicky to MAlice's Gothic Garden. I'm not a goth, but I've had friends who were. They said I would be perfect for it, probably because of the unhealthy colour of my skin, lol! But unfortunately, I never could see the benefits of giving up bright pink and orange. I love too many colours to be a real goth, though the music is cool. Also, I have a slight philosophical difference - I recognize that the darkness of life is rich and varied, but I like the bright side too. I go into the darkness to create, but I don't want to live there exclusively. I prefer to integrate the dark and the light, rather than choosing one over the other. Jessica - ROTFLMOLWSGJOTK!!! I am going to have to tell my friends about this! It's perfect! ~*hesperis*~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: Wavestar Date: 25 Apr 01 - 09:35 AM Sometimes I'm a Goth. Never hardcore. I'd look bad with balck hair. Got accused of it a lot in high school though - thanks, whitebread world. I like the music, I can appreciate some of the clothes, but the angst... no thanks, I'm done with angst. If you're Gothic and you know it dress in black... If you're Gothic and you know it dress in black... If you're Gothic and you know it then your clothes will surely show it If you're Gothic and you know it dress in black If you're Gothic and you know it be depressed If you're Gothic and you know it be depressed If you're Gothic and you know it and then your angst will surely show it If you're Gothic and you know it be depressed. If you're Gothic and you know it slit your wrists If you're Gothic and you know it slit your wrists If you're Gothic and you know it then your scars will surely show it If you're Gothic and you know it slit your wrists If you're Gothic and you know it, kill your friends If you're Gothic and you know it, kill your friends If you're Gothic and you know, then the body count will show it, If you're Gothic and you know it, kill your friends Now please, no one get offended... I alwsys thought this was really amusing when I was all Gothed up... my friends and I used to walk down the street singing it. -J

Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: Fibula Mattock Date: 25 Apr 01 - 09:32 AM Hmm, I went through the wearing black phase (now I'm just into archaeological hippy-grunge scruff), but was more of an industrial goth (nine inch nails as opposed to nephilim). I have a friend who's still a goth at the ripe old age of 29. He hates other goths and calls them cliquey and snobbish. He refuses to be categorised as one, despite the fact that he gets up in the morning and decides on which shade of black to wear for the day. We went out to a Hallowe'en fancy dress night at a club a few years ago and all he did was stick on a wizard's hat. He has gorgeous waist-length black hair. Everyone thought it was attached to the hat, which didn't go down to well with him as they tried to pull it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: wysiwyg Date: 25 Apr 01 - 09:25 AM Hey Goths, help me out. Is an adult Goth involvement kinda like a Ren Faire thing, in terms of time spent, it being a sort of second persona, etc.? That sounds interesting and largely fun and positive. Here in the US though, the very young preteen and teen Goths... are into general negativity, actively. It's not a separate reality for them as much as the main reality... Can you help me sort out the US and UK and/or age differences? Firecat, can you help me see this? PMs are welcome, if not here. ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: Louisa Date: 25 Apr 01 - 09:21 AM I'm not a goth (although I do wear black a lot) but my friend Ant is a folky and a goth and will be at Whitby this weekend! He has long blonde hair, and likes eating sweetcorn out of the tin. If you ever forget what kind of festival you're at, then Ant's your man - just look at his clothes - black for goth, green and purple tie-dye for folk!

Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: Bagpuss Date: 25 Apr 01 - 08:59 AM I was always told I should be a goth, cos I'm pretty pale, and I read Sandman comics. Could never get into the scary music tho, and I am rather too fond of nice pretty colours. Anyone remember a sketch in a comedy (Big Train perhaps?) in which goths had a rota for hanging around the cemeteries and looking scary? Bagpuss |
Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: Dave the Gnome Date: 25 Apr 01 - 08:58 AM Oh - and if you want further info on the weekend itself, Dita, try This Clicky (If I got it right! - If not it's www.whitby.darkwave.co.uk). The youngsters would love it. I took my twins - or rather they took me - when they were 14. Had a whale of time (Scuse the pun, those who know Whitby). Whitby is such a great place. Good cheap accom usualy available as well - except at this years Folk Festival which clashes with the Regatta! Bagdale Hall has some very reasonable family rooms (sleep 3/4/5) which we stopped in. Enjoy DtG |

Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: Dave the Gnome Date: 25 Apr 01 - 08:44 AM I suppose I could combine the folky/goth thing. Hows about singing "The Sisters of Mercy, they are not at the concert tonight..." Dave the Gothic Gnome |

Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: Firecat Date: 25 Apr 01 - 07:47 AM ME!!! Well, I used to be. Im an ex Goth. I still wear black most of the time but I don't wear black lipstick and don't have black hair anymore. |
Subject: RE: BS: Any Goths outthere? From: Orac Date: 25 Apr 01 - 07:18 AM I'm going to Whitby (Moor and Coast Festival) too. I didn't know anything about Goths until I got there last year for the first time and saw all these strange bods wandering about. Unfortunately one of the poor sods fell off the cliff last year and was killed, so lets hope nothing happens like that again. Its a bit cool at this time of year for the camping but well worth it. |

Subject: Any Goths outthere? From: Dave the Gnome Date: 25 Apr 01 - 06:40 AM Whitbty Goth weekend this weekend. Anyone there from the Mudcat? I'm not 'proper' Goth myself BTW and don't go to the concerts but after stumbling across this festival some years ago I have always enjoyed going. Probably because I like Whitby. Or is it because I like wearing make-up....? (But that's another story! :-)) Cheers DtG |
