According to an unofficial website for the festivities, World Goth Day came about after a BBC6 Music weekend celebrating different genres of music, with 22 May happening to be the day BBC6 focused on the Goth movement.

Since 2009, World Goth Day has expanded from a British venture to a worldwide celebration of all things Goth.

How many goths does it take to change a light bulb?

None, they just sit there in the dark and cry.

Most don't qualify as real Goths.

Emos - skater kids with American accents who listen to Linkin Biskit or whatever tha fuk are about as connected to 70s/80s goths originating in Britain as Jedward are.

smash

Ah they arnt attention seeking enough they now need their own day .
Hey everyone please look at me Im not conforming pugwash.

There can never actually be a official goth day as joining in in any similar group activity would cause a goth to consider them-self as being 'the same as everyone else' or one of the 'sheeple'.

Goths don't conform, and to prove this they conform by wearing the non-conformist uniform of the goth community.

If they don't wear the goth uniform then they aren't conforming with goth rules and are thus not part of the goth community and a considered to be a part of contemporary society , i.e just another conformist.

Was Emo not in Sesame Street?

cloptrop

So they are not becoming a societal group by becoming a societal group.
Your just another demographic get on with it and put down your das razor blade.

Either you've got too much time on your hands or you need to go out and celebrate your day.

Ruralyoke

Goths.

Meh.

Must be the most annoying sect around. Most self consciously "different" and they can't even agree on what their music constitutes half of the time. Also the most pretentious - hardly any of them are actually that dark or miserable.

Is there much of a difference between a goth and a curehead ?

starbelgrade

I got some goth wallpaper the other day.

It's fantastic stuff - it hangs itself.

cloptrop

How come you rarely see older goths. Do they all sell out and conform or do the suicide thingy.
Maybe we are just experiencing the rise of the goths where the older ones have finally got the youths onside.
Do goths get into gothing as a group of friends or do they just cast aside their friends, put on some eyeliner and go sit at the central bank and make new friends.
Never have sex with a goth , if anyone asked her how it was shed give an unenthusiastic response , none of her friends would give you one then .

I'm not a goth. But thanks for taking the time out of your busy day - on boards - to tell me I've got too much time on my hands.

flutterflye

Emos and goths are completely different, and both have co-existed for decades.
The newish emo trend is just an extension of what was already there.
Not entirely sure what scene is though - I think it's a mix of emo and skanger?!

Musically, Cureheads are generally just massive Cure fans while goths are into heavier, rockier bands like Fields of the Nephilim & Bauhaus. Goths also tend to be more extreme in their dress sense & are more into tattoos & piercings.

Generally though, there's a good bit of cross-over between the two.

TeddyTedson

Goths are long haired black wearing oddballs. Emos have shorter styled hair, are bisexual and cry. They like colour too.

Freaks the lot of them

I hung up my Tall Boots and Long coats a long time ago when I bought
my Firearms. Guns & Goths dont mix well when it comes to Public perception and media. Did not want to be venturing into the countryside scaring
all the country people all in black looking like a gun crazed nut case, and
certainly did not want to look like a serial killer while calling into the Local Garda station for an interview......so the black clothes went and in came the green and grey. and brown's.

Still have an Ankle length Leather Jacket and Knee high boot in the attic somplace for nostalgic value, something to show the Kids/Grandkids on how silly you looked in your youth.

Actually the Goth scene is largely considered a unique social dynamic because the entire scene is aging. Most young folk don't become goths anymore, you have the Emo's and the Metalers but few making the move to Goth territory.

There was an interesting article about the phenomenon in The Guardian recently.

No, he's more of a hipster. He's got some scene hair going on, or used to but now he's wanna be Indy. Probably bisexual and a lot better looking than a goth.
I think he went through a wigger phase too.
He's probably gone too old to be an emo though and goths aren't in fashion so hipster is probably what he's going for. That's trying to hard to look like a nerd and kind of Indy at the same time.

candy-gal1

ah well every day should be a goth day, or just a live and let live day!
Apparrantly in most generic scanger type areas if youve got black hair, arent wiping brown stuff from a tube/bottle/spray on you and pretty much yeah like darkness, dark/dramatic colours, black etc and are your own person then your a "godth" , you have to put a d in there for the authentic scanger way :rolleyes:

So, yay for me, im happy with that title

Happy World Goth day all!

You sound more like an emo. Post a pic and I can diagnose you

Cant seem to post thumnails or images in this thread weird.

Anyone remember this Irish Band. Had not heard of them growing up
but aparently they were gothy'ish at their time bought their single
on ebay a few years back. (The older Dublin Goths might remember them,
the rest of the country might not!)



Also a few Pics of some Picture Discs that might bring back some memories from yesteryear(not all goth)
