NarcissusEcho Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Mostly goth on the inside now though I still have my goth on the outside days as well. My favourite style is EGA though I don't really have the money to maintain it. :( Link to post Share on other sites
SpiritGrove Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I have an identical twin sister who is goth. She is kinda a combination of a Victorian Goth, Romantic Goth, and Perky Goth. Link to post Share on other sites
Sarika Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Yes, but I'm not into the 'scene'. I am more an ascetics sort of Goth. I love halloween, have a good percentage of my wardrobe black without trying, am grateful for Hot Topic because I am not a Do-It-Yourselfer. I eye roll at people that complain about that store or claim you aren't really goth if you don't have hand made cloths. Let me have my cheap corset tops! I don't have tons of money to have someone else custom make my cloths! I appreciate death as part of the cycle of life, mushrooms are awesome! As are crows, who are smarter then people given them credit for & bats who are our best defense against mosquitos! I grew up with Addams Family, the Crow and Rocky Horror. I want a romance like Morticia and Gomez if I'm ever to have one! No, I don't like horror movies, but I'll watch comedy horror. Life is beautiful, life is transient. I have a story in the works with necromancers as the good guys. When I do claim my goth-hood, which I don't bother most the time I'll say I'm a Victorian Goth, or a Hippy Goth, though really, I'm just me. Link to post Share on other sites
Schrecken Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 I have no idea what qualifies as goth these days, but back in the late 80s's and early 90's it was generally anyone who tended to dress in black (usually including makeup and nail polish, especially if female), was into horror and dark-themed stuff, maybe listened to black or death metal, etc. So basically no, I would not have considered myself to be goth, though I could understand those who were (also, my mom would not have let me out of the house had I tried to dress like that when I was a teen!). I was, however, into death/black metal and horror films, and also I was fascinated by old Victorian houses and hauntings and dark histories of some old houses. So I probably would have qualified had I dressed the dress for it. Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre/Ex/Machina Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 I have to go shopping soon for cloths that express my flavor of goth. Also, Imma dye my hair. Link to post Share on other sites
J. van Deijck Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I'm a goth, but I don't follow any particular trend. I mix traditional, romantic and cybergoth in my appearance, I also take some influence from metalheads (and from Amy Lee - don't eat me for it!). My music taste is pretty wide, too. I love anything from metal to electronics, if it's just "goth enough". Link to post Share on other sites
Xavy Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Can a person be a 'semi-goth' ...because that is what I would be. Link to post Share on other sites
Amber Elizabeth Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Yes, I consider myself one, though I'm more of a casual t-shirt and jeans goth in dress. Link to post Share on other sites

Naali Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I have my dress-y moments when I feel like putting on something other than my band tees or whatever. I'd say my style mixes traditional and Victorian/romantic. I just need to get a velvet coat... As for other aspects besides clothes, I adore gothic rock and metal music, home and outside decor (castles anyone?) and have been getting into 'darker' written works Link to post Share on other sites
J. van Deijck Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yaaaay castles! *high five to Naali* I'd love to build a house that looks like a castle :3 I'd also need a long black coat. And platform boots, because I don't have any atm. <_< :x For written things, I love a lot, but Paradise Lost is my favourite forever. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I was a romantic goth from age 13 to 17, but I grew out of it. Now I'm just me :p Link to post Share on other sites
J. van Deijck Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I'm pretty sure I'll never "grow out". Goth culture has a beautiful history and tradition. Though nowadays there are lots of people who think they are goths because they listen to Within Temptation :lol: Link to post Share on other sites
