On Gothic

a cute helpful guide on the gothic subculture that no one asked for <3

goth music springing from the late 1970s after the post punk movement was a subculture heavily inspired by the themes found in victorian gothic literature

gothic literature:

frankenstein - mary shelley

dracula - bram stoker

jekyll and hyde - robert stevenson

wuthering heights - emily bronte

rebecca - daphne du maurier

edgar allen poe <3

some keywords that come from gothic literature that can help you spot a goth song:

'dark' 'death' 'black' 'cold' 'heaven' 'hell' 'witches 'bats' 'night' 'roses' 'blood' 'church' 'forest' 'jesus' 'grey' 'horror' 'shadow' 'sacrifice' 'tears' 'ghost' 'spells' 'cry' 'love' 'haunted' 'funeral' 'cathedral'

Some other themes in a song that can help you to decide if it goth or not can be:

heavy bass

synth sounds (the song sounds like it was recorded in an empty church)

mysterious and whimsical vocals

deep vocals

lack of a (electric) guitar

The 1980's and 90's were the peak for the gothic subculture, especially in camden market, london, england

Some bands that were prominent at the time were...

Bauhaus

The Cure

Sisters of Mercy

Siouxsie and the Banshees

Christian Death

Clan of Xymox

The Cramps

Depeche Mode

New Order

Joy Division

Alien Sex Fiend

Fields of the Nephilim

Killing Joke

The Damned

Nick Cave

Softcell

Some other goth band recs:

Children on Stun

Earth Calling Angela

Rendez Vous

Rosetta Stone

Selofan

She Wants Revenge

Skinny Puppy

Specimen

Tragic Black

Traitrs

Twin Tribes

ULTRA SUNN

Xmal Deutschland

Your Funeral

The 69 Eyes

Please let me know which ones i've missed because these are just ones that I have taken from my own playlist!

The music is the number one most important part of goth subculture and you don't have to dress goth to be goth... but it sure is fun to do so! Goth fashion holds its roots in thrifting, upcycling and sustainable fashion (buying 'goth' clothes from shein, dollskill and killstar is a big no no).

Anyone can style their gothic outfits however they like but here are some examples of different styles:

Trad(itional) Goth:

Romantic Goth:

Victorian Goth:

The styles can get very similar so let me know if i’ve mixed any up!

I’ve reached the limit on the number of pictures i can add so here are some more examples of goth styles:

Corporate goth

Gothabilly

Mall Goth

Cyber Goth

J-Goth

Baby Bat

Mopey Goth

Vampire Goth

Steam punk

To end the post i'm circling back to gothic literature by listing some films too (which are often based on the books)

Everyone's beloved: Bela Lugosi in the first adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1931

The Crow 1994 which comes with a song from The Cure

Interview with the Vampire 1994

The Rocky Horror Picture Show 1975

Edward Scissor Hands 1990

The Addams family 1991 (if he's not like gomez then i don't want him)

The Craft 1996

That's all I have for now and if you made it this far thank you so much for reading and have a nice day <3

current goth song on repeat:

WHICH DARK FEMININE ARCHETYPE ARE YOU?

[roses4aphrodite]

The Witch Archetype

Learn to embody the Witch Archetype here

The Witch Archetype is the most widely misunderstood one. The fear mongering that surrounds the Witch Archetype stems from patriarchy and the negative connotation that Witches invoke evil spirits or demonic forces to gain power. This superstition is untrue.

The power that Witches pull from, comes from their willpower deep within.

The Witch Archetype is a woman that is highly intelligent both emotionally and rationally. She can easily see beyond illusions and tap right into the core of any situation.

When it comes to success, she doesn't like to reveal any of her techniques and when asked, she'll just smile and say, "It was in God's will." In actuality, she had it all planned out from the beginning.

Examples in Media: Beyoncè, Morticia Addams, Lana del Rey

The Siren Archetype is represented by the tarot cards, the Queen of Swords and the High Priestess.

If this is your archetype, you embody divinity and use your magical abilities to manifest wonders.

Spirituality and solitude are a priority for you. You are very connected to your inner core and have heightened psychic abilities such as, foretelling, divination, clairvoyance, clairsentience or clairaudience. You can usually read others like a book and your energy can influence any room without you having to say or do much. Your self-protective shield is high and if someone wants to get close to you, they'd have to put in effort and be patient. You enjoy using herbs, medicine, mantras, crystals, tarot cards, affirmations, music and other tools of divination to stay grounded and peaceful.

Ода шоколаду

Мне нужны простые углеводы. Они мне жизненно необходимы. Всегда и везде. Я не сижу на диетах. Я просто мало ем. Бывает даже слишком мало.

Мне нужны простые углеводы. Для жизни, для дыхания. Часто я чувствую что теряю сознание… голова кружится, ноги перестают слушаться, тело поднимает температ��ру, а сердце послушно вторит организму зашкаливающим пульсом. Давление стремится к нулю, звёздочки задорно пляшут в глазах, а шум в ушах поёт гимн смерти.

Тогда я понимаю, что пора. Доползаю до своей коробки сладостей и совершаю углеводное самоубийство. Шоколад нежно тает во рту… о, молочный шоколад! Сколько раз ты буквально спасал мою хрупкую жизнь!

В моменты, когда сил совсем нет даже на то, чтобы переваривать “нормальную и полезную” еду, на помощь всегда приходит шоколад.

С простыми углеводами так просто - на то они и простые углеводы.
