It’s never too late to become goth
Cultural Evolution of Pants https://peterturchin.com/cultural-evolution-of-pants/
If you are in North America or Western Europe and look around, on any particular day, you will find most people wearing pants. But why is it the standard item of clothing for people, especially men belonging to the Western civilization. Why not a kilt, a robe, a tunic, a sarong, or a toga?
Great article, thanks for sharing!
I wish whatever people call “goth” today had a different name, because “goth” to me is people like this-
Now it’s people like this-
I think both looks are fine, but it’s weird to me how substantially different goths today look from goths of my youth compared to, for example modern punks, who still basically look like punks have always looked.
To me, goths are the people who sacked Rome in 410. None of this makes sense to me.
Listening to The Smiths is good for your health.
It’s amazing the results you can get by taking a picture on color film.
The color has nothing to do with it. You really can’t see a complete difference in look?
But if you want color-
Still fake goths. Not one of them looks like they could sack Rome
Don’t underestimate Robert Smith. He’s only in love on Fridays. He spends the rest of the week training for combat.
On the one hand, I was going for the cheap joke.
On the other hand, it is not obvious to me which group is supposed to be superior to the other.
Not sure why I couldn’t find a file with more pixels but:
Jokes on him, gothboy is also broke. Seriously, some of my goth stuff is expensive 🙄
Real goths don’t buy expensive goth stuff. All you need is the attitude and a color palette* to match your soul.
Palette. A pallet holds bricks and a palate tastes food
I bet I could hold some bricks with a palette too. I mean, it’s basically just a plate for your paint. 🤷🏻♂️
I’m picturing now competitions in which people compete to see how many bricks at once they can carry on a palette X number of feet
Now I kinda wanna prompt an AI to give me a picture of an extremely large Bob Ross using a pallet as his palette.
Palette sounds too french for my English soul
They’re all from French. Pallet comes from a a word for straw, palette for shovel, and palate for the top of the mouth.
How about pellet?
Also French, from “small ball.” Originally Latin pilla, meaning it’s twinned with pill. Pill came direct from Latin though, so no weird French influences.
Damn the French!
This is what I get for using speech to text and pressing send.
I’ve now tagged you as the Goth Gatekeeper. I’d love to see your credentials.
I don’t have to prove anything to you.
Neither does OP of this thread, and yet you judged him. Hypocrite.
Everyone here is having a good time cracking jokes about being goth… except for you. Go back to hot topic.
You just can’t help but be judgmental, can you. Points because you’re right: everyone but you enjoyed thread OP. And maybe you did too, but you chose to basically shit on OP because of the Goth equivalent of “no true Scotsman.” Not seeing anyone laughing with you here, just around you.
Don’t pick fights where there are no fights. Bye.
Here, it’s Cradle of Filth. It got me through some pretty bleak times. Try Track 4, Coffin Fodder. It sounds horrible but it’s actually quite beautiful.
