Sence there is a Lolita thread, I thought it would be a good idea to make a Gothic thread.

I have been trying different styles but my physical apperance is so horrible that it made the pictures small. :[
(I don't like the way I look... if you were wondering what I meant.)

well you don't look THAT horrible ***you over exaggerate things***

hahahahaa sorry I can't spell :unsure:

yes It's about time there is a Gothic Style thread here! ^_^

Hehehehe now we just need someone to post some real gothic style pics

I would if I could *looks at broken Camera*

ohh well

WE NEED TIGHTLACERS!

AND PEOPLE WITH CRAZY EYECONTACT LENSES!

:D

Well as soon as I get access to a good scanner I could post some old pics of me... when I was goth (that was back in the 90's hehehe)

ohhhh

in the 90's

I reckon the gothic clothes were better and less low life you could get them cheaper

and you didn't have to order them from the internet!

at my favorite opp shop

it has all these gothic clothes from the 90's even more so than the glam and 80's wear and 70's jeans etc.

people around my area throw them away heheheheheheee

and thats why I'm getting that sexy wedding dress for "Unknown" purposes lol

there is this place called Newtown

well it's not new the houses are Victorian

it sells gothic clothes and the like

the best shop has to be Gallery Serpentine

http://www.galleryserpentine.com/

The best thing was to shop for clothes in normal stores and fetish wear shops or get a few vintage items depending on what style you preferred (I liked to mix both) but if you didn't want to bother shopping around you could always go there:
Cruella

I still shop there for some accessories or shoes but for the rest it's mainly Moitié hehehe

ohh sexy I like it I havn't visited that site before thankyou :love:

You're welcome! The owners are really nice so I like to promote their shop. I used to play bowling with them (hehehe yeah a bunch of goths playing bowling...)

And btw I agree with you. Gothic style was better in the 90's (or the 80's). Back in those days we didn't see kids wearing cake makeup and reversed crosses pretending to be vampires. I think the medias ruined it all (like tend to do with everything when it comes to underground styles or fashion). It used to be elegant and tasteful while being dark but not morbid. I hate how people mix up goth and emo now. THEY HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON!!! It takes maturity and good taste to be goth without looking like a freak. I stopped being goth cause of what it has become now. One thing really pissed me off. After the shooting in Columbine.... what we could read in the newspapers (one of the reason why I don't like them... cause of the misinformation) was that the guys involved in the shooting we goth. What???? Those guys had nothing to do with the gothic subculture!!!! Wearing a black trench coat doesn't make you goth! Yeah gothic people can seem weird to some but they don't go around shooting people!!!! You'll never see a fight in a gothic club (never hear of that happening here... the worse I've seen is a guy being slapped in the face by another guy cause they were fighting over a girl XD)....

And last year the medias here started blaming the goths again cause of the shooting that took place at Dawson College. The guy who did it was wearing black and was a member of vampirefreaks.com so they started blaming goths again... they just needed a scapegoat... and it really pissed me off!

Ok sorry about that rant but I really had to cause it has been bothering me for years....

Now I really have to find some pics to post to get back on topic hehehe...

fantastic xD
and very sexy xD xD xD xD xD :P

I've also NEVER seen fights in gothic clubs. People think that goths are very strange because of their dark style. Sometimes people just ask me, if i am a satanist or such, because i always wear black clothes. I hate such questions actually :anger: ... Many goths are really friendly and normal people, almost all my friends are goths and to talk with them are more interesting than with "normal" guys... if you understand what i mean :D :mana: .

I don't like that emos. They are just emocional teenagers. Nothing more.

I also heard about how the media were targeting the goth culture, which IS bullshit. They were also blaming Marilyn Manson for Columbine. There was a documentary by Michael Moore or whatever and he actually interviewed Manson. Ok, I know Manson is totally not goth, and it pisses me off that he get blamed for alot of things, but he defended himself quite well. Moore asked him if he could say anything to Dylan and Eric, what would he say? Manson replied " I wouldn't say a thing. I would listen to what they had to say, and that's exactly what nobody did."

Not to mention that Dylan and Eric didn't even like Manson. :K2:


Aside from that, Goth will never be the same. Most people don't even listen to old school goth anymore ( Joy Division, The Cure, Siouxsie, etc.) ok, maybe the Cure.

And what REALLY pisses me off is that people think goths are metalheads. I could seriously fucking strangle anybody who assumes that. Sorry about my choice of words, but i've had bad experiences. Yet, don't we all? </3

I agree and I had bad experiences too...

Yeah, I believe that too. The golden age of the goth subculture seems to be far gone, and this new age just isn't as alive as it used to be I assume. Although I wasn't goth back then, seeing as how I was either really little, or not conceived yet. XDDD

Also, I've been wanting to listen to some of the old school goth stuff, in an attempt to get closer to the subculture and solidify my roots. ^_^

And not everyone knows that there are different variations of goth, which is sad. I took this interesting quiz once, and it told me I was "Industrial Goth". I was quite pleased. XD

Well if you want to learn more about old school goth... I'm here! :D

Totally. I'd love to know more about it, and hear any cool stories you have. ^__^

i've never been goth, (but to tell the truth my friends always tells me i'm some kind of...'closet goth'? hope u know what i mean :unsure: jajajaja) though i totally love gothic style, clothing, literature, make up, these baroque and very much elegant style, art, i really luv it!!! :heart:

but...well i'm not sure of this, if you know please correct me, in here (Mexico) there is two ways of 'goth' style, (or at least the 2 most popular in a 'goth' style), maybe it's the same in the whole world, maybe not, i don't know...

one is the Goth subculture that is about elegance, medieval art, and everything you see in yr mind when you think about Goth art, it includes operistic and clasical music...

all these elegance and goth art are mixed up with 'dark' :ph43r: things (not the dark style i'm talking down), i mean horror, blood, malice and all these kind of things...(things that totaly catch me and the reason of my nearly title of psychologist *yes i'm mad and i know it and it makes me happy * :lol: ;) )

the second way is called 'dark' subculture and to tell the truth i don't like it too much, cause their ideology (in agree of what i learned from talking with too much people) is like emo...jajaja, yes, they love to be depressed all the time and they only wear black outfits because of the mourning they feel in their soul, they think society sucks and everyone is bad with each other just because 'it is so' and they're like 'suicide' persons, and blah...blah...blah...the only thing that have in common with Goth subculture is the appearance, and this is very bad for the Goths, jajajaja, they totally loathe people call them 'dark', and 'dark' is actually most pupular than Goth, so it happens frequently...poor them!!

Well all this just to say i love Goth, but i think i'm not a goth girl because there is too much things i love very much asides the goth (i'm some kind of weirdo that mix punk, grunge, hippie and goth appearel :blink: :huh: ) jajajajajajajaja :lol:

Well you know where to find me ne?

I love the classic Goth style. It's so classy. :P

Saw this site the other day and thought it had a number of cute things on it. Too bad they're kinda pricy and in the UK. :unsure:

Click ~~~

I love this outfit. *A*

I would love to wear something like this, but I don't think I could pull it off. Whenever I try to dress in a unique way, I always get strange looks. :( Recently I wore some slouch socks and I decided to wear them stretched out above my knees with a cute dress (that's past my mid-thigh, but above my knees), and some people looked at me like I was a streetwalker. -_- (Makes me afraid to wear my plum colored lipstick I recently bought in public.) I'm jeans and a shirt usually, but when I try to wear a dress and feel feminine, it just seems to backfire. Thanks to Mana, my new year's resolution is to be more feminine, but it can be so hard to be confident.

How can girls in anime pull off tall socks with a mini-skirt and knee-high boots?! How can Goth girls wear pvc and look cute and awesome?! :o

GAH. x_x

heeheee I love Drac In A Box Anyone heard of Heavy Red is good too! :P

When i get looked at like you say you were... I try to tell myself if its a guy looking at me... he wants me but too stoopid to show it and if its a girl i try to think she wishes she could dress like me :D

I always get the stinking looks off fat girls... its like jeez lay off the pizza's then!

It's good you have a lot of confidence. ;)

That's the jerk syndrom. :P
If we (i.e. us guys) see a really beautiful girl, then we immediately just give up, since we know we don't stand a chance of achieving anything else but a cold shoulder, since the girl in question would just consider us a jerk.

I have to really tell it to myself or i'll end up believing that i do have a second head that i can't see XDDDDDD

Well, it depends on what type of girl it is. If someone can't like you for who you are, then that's their loss.

@Isumi: XDDDD

Awwww... Sid said he felt like that when he first saw me.... and now we're engaged (and we're been together for almost 9 years now....)

:lol: jajajaja

well i think if there are boys out there looking at my weirdo :huh: appearance, then surely must be very much guys that would look at you!! :D the most if you dress in a gothic style, gothic girls look very interesting and has an aura of mistery, elegance and evilness at the same time, and that is very sexy i think, well, just look out Mana-sama!!!!! :mana:

even if he is a he, when he looks like a girl, he's sweet, sexy, misterious and evil and the same time...the most when he wears handcuffs!!!! :P X( :heart: :mana:

so yeah, Izumi is rigth when she said guys are stupid and girls are envious, because when you simply atract everyone gazes, that only can means yr looking good!! (jejeje, even if yr a weirdo like me!!! ^_^ )

This story was on the news today here. Its so horrific. This is what makes me hate being British. This is what makes me hate my heritage. This is what makes me hate people.
I fucking hate the thug culture here... its like... whats so fucking cool about being horrible to people and hurting them for being nothing but good people?

I wish there were no stupid treaties that protect prisoners and stuff i think if you commit a crime you waiver all your human rights and you can have whatever the hell society sees fit as punishment.
(i say this because recently, in britian its was announced that criminals actually break in to our prisons now...)

God that's terrible. DDDDDX

Disgusting really. Why would anyone do that?! >______<

I've seen lots of horror movies with plenty of gore and they didn't didn't faze me...

But what those teenagers did to that couple, really made my stomach turn.
It gives me chills too.

The cruelty that mankind is capable of can be very brutal and gruesome.

To be killed simply because you look different just isn't right; it's absolutely sick.

That was...sorry, I'm completely speechless. Words cannot describe how much hatred I have for humanity right now. Fuck, I'm shamed of being human. Thank you for making my day worse than it already is. Now excuse me while I throw up now.

oh!... :o :tears: that thing is simply so SAD! T_T it's simply unbelievable that we're on 21th century and things that happened in medieval age (like witch hunting) still happens today... Thank you, 'cool dual moralist society' <_<

So sad to say it...but similar things happend just weeks ago here in Mexico, but not with goths, it happened to the emo boys and girls; a crowd of young people almost lynch a few emo boys just because they were 'emo boys', they beat them and if cops doesn't come right on time..they would be dead now... T_T

Since then, if you walk on the streets, and you 'look' like an emo (use that hair, dress in tube pants, etc, etc, etc) yr in risk of being assaulted by another person, or even get shouted shity words or that someone throw something at you... :anger: :/

It is a total shame that this is happen to people that look 'different' than you aroud the WHOLE WORLD!!! -_- i'm a totally peacefull person, and it's horrible for me to live in somewhere with violence and hate :tears: so, the big question for us is..(as Linda Perris sings one day) WHAT'S GOING ON??????

*sorry the extension of the comment, i just can't contain myself when i'm talking of thing like this*

There is a man campaigning up in the area where this attack happened, he too is also into the goth culture, and he's campaigning for the term "hate crime" to be extended in meaning, because this clearly was a hate crime, but the current definition does not include being attacked etc on the basis of how you choose to look.
He also had a petition with over a 1000 names to get this definition broadened. I really hope he achieves it, because the attitude here really does suck.

When I was younger, i was heavily into the goth culture, I went out with white skin, black eyes and lips, chains etc... and I've been pelted with missiles from cars, spat at, pushed over, ganged up on, I had a bunch of "wanna-be ghetto" boys (I say wanna-be because ghetto culture isn't a British thing... WE DON'T HAVE GHETTOS HERE! GET OVER IT!) who must have been between the ages of 17-24 all stand around me just staring at me when i was 13 - never been so fucking scared in all my life!
Even going to the local store a few streets away... I can't walk past the "gang" as they like to think they are who stand around outside it with out having "hey its not Halloween yet!!" or "Love, with you fuck my friend goth style??"

I hate it! I really hate the stupid attitude of other people... if like, we were gay or of a different race and they said something about that, then we could do something and be taken seriously... its a sad existence when you wont be taken seriously unless your beaten to death like that poor girl.

D: God....that is awful..poor girl >.<

I really dont understand where people get an attitude like that from. Idiots...why wont they see that we are all just humans and that makes us all still the same. And stop being like: LOLOLOL GOTH LETS BEAT HER!! Just because its 'awesome' if you beat someone up who looks different than you do. - -'' People like that really piss me off.

Got the same type of comments from "wanna-be ghetto" boys (and yeah we don't have ghettos here either!). But that was when I was in college... so we were about 19 or 20!!! How can people who are supposed to be adults can still act like that??? And how can you judge people based on how they look when all you do is hang out in front of the vending machines .... GET A LIFE! I might look weird to you but at least I have one and I don't need to harass to feel important cause I like who I am! And there was also older (not gothic) people who went to goth or darkwave nights thinking it would be easy to pick up a girl there cause they had it in their heads that goth girls were all into s & m and purvey stuff. YOU'RE IN THE WRONG PLACE! If it's just sex that you want go somewhere else where I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

Poor couple...that's so horrible. -_- I never knew stuff like that happened in other countries.

that happened to me too when I was 13

It's horrible

There are alot of wannabe ghetto's here in sydney too

and now I just just sexually abused by rapists


It's ironic that they acted as if I was another creature when I was 13, Now they act like I'm a delicate whore girl/actual pedo toy lolita girl

and I'm really really tall :blink:

I'm not used to getting hit on and crap


and I know I don't look absoutley drop dead gorgeous or anything like that

It's disgraceful that they couldn't tell the gender of the victums there

Assholes like that do it to look good in front of their mates

the goths here are also sorta dangerous

(they crap on about how hardcore they are)

(the teen one's that is)

and the Newtown prositutes

are anything but ladylike

and they also sexually harrass me and all

some of them do deserve to get bashed actually (not brutally)

because they use the fact they dress goth to sexually abuse me and all

it's not how you dress it's how you act

alot of elders respect me actually

they don't call me a stupid satanic goth girl :heartbeat:

Wow thats sad. I hate ppl who get so worked up because the see someone who is different.

a girl at my school used to be nice to me but when I went goth, they where very mean to me.
I ignore them but most people at my school either don't care that I'm goth, or think it's really coolXD

This other girl at my school said Mana should be killed because his is/was a cross dresser. All I could say was , just because someones different doesn't mean they deserve to die or get hurt (no one dose really)

It's annoying when ppl are like that.
I hate stereotyping too.

yr wrong, she deserves to be hurt because people that think like she do, make wars in the world T_T

:love: I respect you now and always :unsure: :heart:

hahahahaaa that was a good call
