My parents were both goth back in the 80s and I’ve talk to them about some of the things I hear and see people say and they think it’s ridiculous. I mean yes there is a certain fashion and a certain kind of music and a culture, but some of these people today are just downright snobby about it.
It's interesting that one goth girl I know just loves the style, but is very outgoing and loves 80s pop. I'm slightly envious that she's so confident in herself.
Facts. I dress quite goth, but I don't label myself as goth because I typically listen to post-hardcore/rock (more so emo music) and not gothic music. I've had these goth elitists call me a poser. Like bruh I'm not trying to be anything. I admit that I don't particularly like the music. Let me dress how I want.
@@mychemicalemotions As long as you're buying something that is actual merch for the band, even if it's second hand, it's helps them because you're not buying cheap fake merch.
i also got this sick my chem flag off of poshmark it was the tbp tour flag such an amazing find i’ve been looking for years for a nice my chem flag so poshmark is 100% another way to go
Just a note: I did a quick google for the brand of that nice long coat you had. On eBay, depending on the condition the brand (designer?) Goes for anywhere from 30 to 300 US dollars. So that coat of yours would probably fall around the 100 to 200 range. Anyway, I would like to compliment you on the amazing deal you found. That's just fantastic.
I've been wanting to dress goth for YEARS now and I feel like now that I live on my own away from my family, I finally can this video was great help though I think I still need to do more research
You really can get goth clothes anywhere if you look. I buy a lot of my clothes from high street brands and mix and match them with higher end alt store clothing. Basics like black tees, leggings jeans can all be bought from the high street but pairing them with a cool belt, jewellery or even diying with studs can make them look awesome and one of a kind. I particularly like shopping for clothes just after Halloween. Many high street stores sell gothy clothes on sale super cheap then.
I love seeing videos like this, I agree with you that you can find things that normally wouldn't be "gothic" in popular mainstream stores, I just got a fake leather skirt from Walmart that I fell in love with. I also love going to thrift stores because you never know what beautiful jems you can find 🖤 I found a brand new killstar shirt for 5$ (canadian) and a beautiful witchy flowy maxi skirt from a thrift store and I love them to death 🖤 it's all about finding what suits you and finding the potential 🖤
Skeleton Kitty totally agree with this. It’s hard finding decent clothes let alone alt clothes when you’re petite! I’m four foot eleven and 32 years old and it is sooooo hard so diy all the way
I'm a year and a half on from losing my husband. I'm 38, still a bit chubby, and i was thinking that I wanted to start in goth style. While I'm a guy, I think I've picked up some useful tips. Thank you. If it's any help, I get dog hair off fabrics by using just normal rubber gloves.
Idk if it's just me . But it's really good to go in charity shops and look at men's jumpers. I'm really small and I found a red and black zip up jumper for 10 quid and it looks like a lush coat on me :)
I am a def a goth on a budget myself. I am def gonna do a series myself on my channel about this very subject as well as mindfullness being a goth so upcycling etc. I furnished nearly my whole house from gumtree freebies, freecycle and charity shops etc with a few things donated from friends, not to mention snagging a few finds at my local recycling depot. Cool finds and an informative fun video LOVE x
I've had a few Demonia shoes but it's when I've got cheap bargains on eBay, I'd probably won't buy new. I love getting basics from Primark and looking in charity shops.
If you *really* and *thoroughly* look in a primark you can find band t-shirts. I found Kiss and Nirvana last time I went. It wasn’t even the normal smiley face Nirvana logo it was of their album covers!
The Fifth Killjoy yes! I got a Kurt Cobain T-Shirt and a great pulp fiction T-shirt (not a band t-shirt or especially gothic but it fits my aesthetic haha)
Ahh yeah, when i first got into this style/music the clothing seemed expensive and then I saw some really cool band shirts at primark, and I think they have them very often and it makes me real happy 😩✌🏻
ive had 'gothic' clothing from those cheap chinese stores before, they were decent, you just gotta find the ones with the best and most reviews and if people post pictures to see how i really looks.
I love the coat and the black mini skirt! The mini skirt that you were holding in your right hand and I loved the bodysuit! You never know where your going to find stuff so I look everywhere. But I do have to say that I haven't found as many things lately in second hand shops where I live that could work into a gothic aesthetic which is disappointing. But I did find a black dress with lace that could very easily be regular romantic goth or lolita-esque but it is a little too big for me. I got it anyway planning to get it altered by a fashion student at the arts and crafts school where I live. It's practice for them and I would get to have it done for cheaper
Camden is my favourite place in the world for shopping! Nevertheless I went there last year and I was very sad to observe that it changed a lot. It was much harder to find nice clothes than it was before.
Yess! There are some hidden gems in stores that aren’t targeted towards goth people! I found a very nice yellow/black plaid overall dress at rue 21 and I love it!
I’ve always loved that movie Casper meets Wendy, Halloween is such a lifestyle. I have Salem Ma USA here where the witches originated from here! I wear my Salem sweater everyday since I went this past 2018! AND I JUST TYPED BAND SHIRTS TO MY FRIEND TO GO THRIFTING FOR AND THEN YOU JUST SAID IT. Wild. Xo
I got a Cannibal Corpse T-shirt for £15.00 on eBay, there's a few shops selling band tees for around that price nowadays. You're not going to get one of their shirts in Primark 😂
Great advice for someone who is just about to become a goth thank you (I'm male but there are still lot's of male clothing products on the shops you mentioned so thank you :) )
I’m going to a death metal/ punk rock concert but wasn’t ever one to get into the pit. I just go to watch the show and love dressing up for the event. Everyone picks on me for wearing heels to such an event but I just can’t help it. I have to!
You are spookily adorable! Glad I found your channel! I spend way to much time and money on Aliexpress because things that sell for way higher is very cheap..I've had great luck with buying there..
I'm pretty new to the alt game but also Shein have a LOT of cute jewellery and clothing and Poundland Halloween is good, I got some really cute striped and skeleton tights there!
For band t shirts I go on Amazon or Wal-Mart online. If you're plus size go buy t shirts in the men's section. A shirt is a shirt , it doesn't matter what gender you identify as.
Whenever I dress goth/alt I feel hella confident but when i wear my basic ass shit I'm like TF eww but I'm hella fuckin broke so like thank you helped a bitch out :)
I have thank you :) hope you have too! My palette should be shipping today (26th) so I’m hoping to get it by the end of the week :) I’ve got a couple video ideas using it I’ll be doing xx
I fucking love you so much for this video you are a godamn angel I am a broke high schooler who’s wanted to get more goth clothes for everrrrrr and never had enough money but holy shit that website is so affordable.... thank you so much for that and all your tips in this video and also you are super pretty and I love your style. Thank you again!!
I bought 4 things from misguided and they never applied the 65% discount so I was charged 200$. And I never received it so I’m not gonna order from them again which is sad because I liked their stuff
Expensive, yes. I don't know how, but I started a gothic fashion board on Pinterest. It keeps getting hits/likes. I really like the style. I was just there an added a few more pins, and wondered; if there is any cool goth stuff on youtube? Apparently the answer is yes. Nice job. Oh by the way, Damn you're cute. holly shit.
Thank you for the advice to buy from everything5pounds I just got a bunch of shoes like 9 or 10 pairs and a few shirts and 2 skirts all for like $171 it was like $59 in shipping unfortunately because I live in the us so I hope in the future they make it cheaper to ship to the us.
WOW! i have never heard of everything 5 pounds! In the US, we have this thing called 5 and below, but it is nowhere near as awesome. just a place I get makeup that can break you out, decent brushes, pop culture/meme clothing, random knick knacks, and childrens toys and candy. Thank you for informing, cause apparently it has a US option and a coven sista is BROKE!
I think I may be getting a lot of my stuff from Amazon UK, but also a lot of it is from Spiral viral Amazon so it's still a little pricey but it is great! :)
"oh wow i love your collar, my dog has the same one" - some basic bastard who likes to say this to all goths in my school, but cant think of another insult
I don't rate the shoes on Everything £5. I've had 2 different pairs of doc Martin style boots. Within a couple of wears, the sole had fallen off. One off each pair. After reading reviews on the site, it happens often.
I’m lucky enough to be able to express myself and wear any clothing I want...besides ANYTHING that reveals me. Nothing that comes down to low (I’m flatter than paper though) nothing to short like a skirt, like can’t be above a little below mid thigh, etc. I’m very lucky in my opinion though that my parents are open-minded. I’m sorry for anyone who’s parents arent
My parents back in the early 2000's where the "emo" style kids they wore the clothes, had the hair and everything yet they won't let me dress the way I want so I have to buy all of it with Amazon gift card money and stuff on Amazon isn't cheep 😭
I just finished buying $500 worth of boots from dollskill (5 pairs) and they charged me twice for shipping I ended up pay an extra $150. There shoes are gorgeous but, Never again. 😬
for my fellow USA buddies... Around halloween, Walmart puts out some bomb shit in the costume section. I got a favorite pair of fishnets with stars and moons on them, a lace collar bracelet that connexts with a cameo ring on a chain, and some bomb ass chokers. I got a faux leather one with "witch" in gothic lettering. I wore it in American History when we learned about the salem witch trials. walmart done stepped their pussies up!
Note that "goth" is often used as an excuse for sellers to markup prices - I won't get into "victorian" (i'm a history nerd and the boggles MIND with frustration at what gets tagged with that) because ACTUAL Victoriana is justifiably priced due to the amount of fabric used (none of these "two panels ONLY" bodices, etc) - but, in general, much of what is marketed as being Goth is made of unforgiving plastics with little give/room to them & with little to no craftsmanship to them. Factories who make the stuff sold at Killstar/etc give workers a photo to work off of instead of an actual draft, then force strict time limitations in less than ideal working conditions. Clothing is an INVESTMENT: if you pay a few bucks online, you're getting a few bucks' worth of material & work. Thrifting is more accessible than straight-up trying to make your own clothing, but Because Pandemic, is unadvisable atm. Fabric paints, scissors, safety pins and DIY-ing worn, black tees is a good substitute - and is how goth fashion started out in the first place. Just mind your fingers with sharp things and keep your windows open if you're using paints!
Haha so I'm secretly really alt/grunge, and I NEED new clothes cuz I'm growing, but I cannot get what I want to wear in public because my mom is super judgemental. fun.
Αρκετα πουλανε και στην ελλαδα αλλα ειναι ακριβα. Πχ killstar που ομως εχει μεταφορικα £20, rockndoll, devilsnightκαι σε καποια κινεζικα σαιτ εχει μερικα καλα κομματια. Για αξεσουαρ σιγουρα προτεινω το ebay γτ ειναι φθηνα και αρκετα καλη ποιοτητα απλα αργει να ερθει κανεναν μηνα. Αν το ψαξεις γενικα θα βρεις πολλα. Υπαρχει και το alienbaby που εχει την βαση του στην ελλαδα αλλα δεν εχει πολλα πραγματα.
