I love goths, i love women with dark raven hair, dark sense of humor, dark nail polish, dark lipstick, deeper knowledge into the occult, my daily dose of memento mori because there is nothing more beautiful than slowly rotting away with someone you love. I'm spoiled because my first goth gf was a pathologist that would invite me to autopsies, it was... a sweet but dreadful experience.
My early adult / late teen years were focused on being a Goth but I'm also a classically trained musician and I probably have at least 10x more classical music in my collection compared to other genres.
I can tell a lot of work went into this, and even as a goth of a few years, it was an interesting watch. videos like this will hopefully help to shed some light on our subculture and show people that it’s not only silly but downright incorrect to stereotype us as mean, “evil,” or in need of some sort of help. thank you 🖤 btw, I’ve also met Vision Video, and he’s a great guy!
I was 16 in 88 and was in what people call the Goth scene "i always called it the Death Rock scene" from then until about my mid 30s, i mean i am still who i am i just am not in the scene anymore as in i am old and tired and no longer go out. people equate the Goth scene as being mopey or depressed or whatever but those years were the happiest of my life and i never felt more like i was myself. i miss getting made up more than anything, i can not even put onto words how alive i felt when i was made up and in my element. and yes as people always try to te;; me i can still get done up and i can still go out if i wanted to, but its not the same, i can never see ME in the mirror any more, i can never match the picture i have of myself in my head any more. and that is fine i understand it and i accept it, it is just a reality of life. people miss when they were young and beautiful. something that always got me in all of those years was how there constantly people i heard trying to define what Goth and Punk were, and it is almost always cringe. and i suppose i am guilty of it as well because i never try to explain it to people or debate people about it but i of course have my own opinions about things and i daintily have my own elitisms about things as well, i see A LOT of young people that i simply think to myself that is not MY goth. i guess i am pretty traditionalist about it and A LOT of things started becoming very common in the early 90s that i did not care for. even the fact that Goth stores exist is iffy for me, i mean most people are not going to make an awesome pair of clubbing boots themselves and i understand getting cool things at the store but most people seem like they do not create anything themselves now. for me for all those years one of the fun activities to do to keep yourself busy all week when it is not a club night or whatever was to go hunting for things you could make something cool with with. either way just enjoy it while you can, and enjoy youth you will never believe how fast it goes and you no longer see yourself in the mirror. it is even worse if you are a straight goth pretty boy. then you are just an old man.
This documentary was so lovely 💜 I watched it while ripping my jeans and I had so many emotions come and go. I hope someday I can go to a goth gathering or convention
Witchcraft is not a subculture. The Ton-ups were one of the first Brit subcultures after the Second World War.Goths never worshipped Satan, that was mainstream’s perspective of us. We fought against that.
People don't seem to realise that we need mediums like music, art and clothing to project our self image, it's our way of managing ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. Without it we would lead a very hollow existence and we should never be discouraged by anyone, I have zero qualms getting in the face of anyone who tries.
This was so well made, in fact when I realised this was your first/only video I was very surprised. You've put so much more effort than a lot of others on youtube.
Pretty good documentary. People should wear what they want and present themselves in the way they want, as long as it isn't harming others. There is no god and there is no Satan, so there is no good and evil. It is just us sentient humans and we should treat other humans the way we want to be treated because it WILL come back on us. You shape the world you want to live in, so why not make it a kind, accepting and safe world?
not a good outlook. if your only reason for being a good person is because you don’t want any bad acts to come back on you, you are not really a good person. good and evil are very real whether you believe in a god or not, it all boils down to whether or not you have empathy-and practice it
I love wear monochrome Black outfits also Black with Gray, White, Purple, Burgundy, Green , and Blue . I enjoy Goth Rock, Dark Wave, Post Punk and Death Rock.Goths can listen to other Genres of music is foundation is the music not the fashion that's optional. Goths don't only Goth music that's false on this doc.
Hi, you are very correct Goths don't exclusively listen to goth music! Primarily at the beginning of the doc I was speaking in generalisations which should have been clearer, that's my fault. Also the part with AJ I did put a note on screen explaining that "exclusively" was the incorrect word.
I love wearing black, goth t shirts, but I also love goth t shirts of other colours (the one I wore today was purple). I’m not even that fussed on the colour of the trousers/shorts/three quarter lengths - I wore pink ones today!
I remember the goths and rivet heads of the 80s....good times🖤🎃💀🎃 Regarding religion.... Believe what you want. Or don't, there's no rules! Politics.... Most of us are left leaning to some degree. Most of us are anti racist, anti homophobic... Many of us are veggie or vegan... But not all. Most of all it's music based sub cult. And it's FUN!! 🎃💀 AND...... Vision Video ROCK🤘🖤

I also have like Elvira since i was very young.I met her several times in USA because i was married to a star musician+the scenes passed by+became visual sometimes.I just couldnt accept her in her reality which isnt goth+i literally seperated her screen image from her real image+we didnt get along really because i prefered she be Elvira.
