>why did goth girl qts die out?

They didn't. That aesthetic is more popular than ever. Peaked in the tumblr era but is still more prevelant today than in the 90s.

Is it true goth though? Nah. Not close.

Was 90s goth really goth either? Not so much. 90s saw a huge boom in the the goth scene, especially on the east coast... But it really broke down to little more than an alternative rave scene. Mindless techno, industrial and metal took over the melodic and introspective tunes that defined goth in the 80s. The look had become very mainstream with the "Mall Goth" aesthetic being absurdley popular. Shock Jocks like Marilyn Manson led the way in distorting the public perception of what the sub culture was even about. Nihilism was quickly replaced with hedonism. Peaceful goth ideals turned into "all edge no point" which led many people to abandon the aesthetic and nu-goth social circles in favor of the traveling hippy scene in the early-mid 00s of all things.

Around the same time the Emo scene was growing in popularity among the youth. Xxanga and MySpace were at the forefront of a digital movement in relation to the scene. This genre honed back to some more traditional goth ideals, albeit with an extremely heavy focus on love stories and heartbreak. Emo aesthetic was goth inspired with mixed influence of punk, pop and red carpet rockstar.

Emo came and went and marked the end of "White Youth Culture" in the mainstream. Tumblr was blowing up and a variety of goth inspired "witchy" aesthetics spread like wildfire. The odd thing is... this time the scene was almost entirely digital and the soundtrack was based in rap and urban influence. When tumblr was purged due to their porn ban, the damage had been done. Black lipstick with stocking caps, flatbills and snapbacks. Shit tier face tattoos everywhere. Jordans replaced Docs and Danners. Depressing trap beats with emo tier lyrics about suicide and loneliness were appropriated by hip hop artists.

90s goth still did have its roots in original goth from the 80s. Most of the artists and people then were influenced by 80s goth and still listened to the music from that time period.

Along came the personality with it too. The scene was not huge, you were still very much an outcast and a weirdo. It's 100% different from edgethots today which are just some brand of social justice warrior but in black clothing.

Goth in the 90s had many groups within the goth sub culture. So it was not an "alternative rave scene" as that was one part. Mainly the cyber and industrial parts of goth.

There were many other scenes, the Gothic metal genre grew then, the "beauty and the best" sound with growling/grunting males and angelic females voiced pitted together.

Emo does not compare at all. Mindless teenage attention seeking and self harm for cool status points by teens was never comparable to goth. The emo's attempted to latch onto goth by flooding sites like vampirefreaks and joining up.

Goth was also socially outcast, thinker, intelligent, outsider and that was very true in the 90s while modern edgethots are no such thing.

I've lived through all scenes.

I drew this picture specifically to dispell all the bullshit you just said.

AS YOU CAN CLEARLY READ, the current day edgy slut is NOT a goth girl. That's why I didn't write "goth" underneath her picture.

They are not "fake goths" they're simply not goths.

Edge thoths are not a subcategory of goth they are a subcategory of hip hop kid.

I dunno man, I have seen plenty with the usual "vibes and vegan" shit in their bio like femtards have.

They are no different than your typical average hoe though yea, they just wear black and people who think simply wearing black makes you "goth" are retarded anyway.

Like goth clubs tend to be really peaceful and everyone gets along, meaning personality and character is the main thing in goth. Meaning if you dressed a violent rap club all in black the violence would continue.

Hell that's why a lot of people found their way to goth and were attracted to it, because of the chill people and accepting nature of them and being nice and helpful to you. Some bullied fat chick in high school could find herself being accepted in goth circles.

That type of goth does not exist in 16 year old girls posing with their tongue hanging out in a black hoodie on cock tok.

For me in high school being interested in role playing games, mythology, history, fantasy etc. would make me a geeky loser to the "in" crowd of girls and jocks but to the Goth crowd, all this shit was cool and interesting. Then incorporate that into music too, throw in vampire stuff, some awesome poetry and it's all around awesome.

And that's the thing, isn't it? People think it's just about blackness and depression when it was a lot of fun.

Most goths are older and just not so visible, lots have toned down their image and younger goths can still exist but the point is edgethots are not goth.

Most young people growing up today are growing up in a messed up environment so they aim to be youtube stars, tik tok, to be a rapper, cover their face with tattoos or just be a general attention seeking whore for girls.

That environment creates very few goths. Now if you were 15 years of age in 1994 it was a massively different world. Of course sub cultures rise and fall and especially late 90s alternative music went mainstream and you had shows like Buffy and movies like blade which added to that kind of interest.

I think my point here is that a lot of them grew up with things such as dark horror and feeling like an outsider which made them drawn to goth while people growing up now are just twerking on tik tok and are desperate for attention.

While the 90s factors produced a handful of goths, the factors of growing up today just produce a handful of narcissistic mentally ill people.

So if you threw an edgethot into 1997 they definitely would not fit into the goth groups.

you gotta understand like, Nine Inch Nails was not embraced at all.

Pretty Hate Machine was considered like... words I can't really use anymore. Let's say "wimpy".

I mean cause he's just whiny, his voice is just so fucking annoying and nasal. I couldn't fucking stand Pretty Hate Machine. I thought it was the corniest shit ever. I'm not lying.

Nah. Nine Inch Nails was not what you think it was. I mean yeah, Head Like a Hole got played, Down In It was a big fucking crossover hit on MTV and everything, but like, also like seeing him live... "YOU PUSSIES PROBABLY KNOW THIS ONE!!!" I mean he literally was yelling at the crowd, and he's like, the second act. Like it's daylight at lollapalooza when he's on in like spandex and shit, like what a fucking cornball.

But yeah, no, I did NOT like Nine Inch Nails.

And I mean I don't think anything he did... I don't like the Fragile, like, Downward Spiral I don't like any of this shit. I never liked this guy I mean I thought I liked the song Closer, March of the Pigs EP... I dunno I just never liked the guy I just thought he was always a bitch.

Goth is an offshoot of punk.

the whole vampire roleplay shit happened in the late 90s up till the mid 2000s, it's not really a solid thing. You get corsetcore fat mallgoth chicks in there, you get the whole gothic black metal thing, you get a few legit goths who bought hard into the neoclassical thing you could get with sound fonts with 90s synths, and then a bunch of nerds who play VtM or normies who watched Interview with the Vampire. Oh and then also full-on cosplayers who just do cosplay.

Like of course goth always incorporated references to vampire literature among other things, and fashion-wise it had some old-timey pieces, you always had chicks wearing lace fingerless gloves, but then again so did Ginger Lynn in her Playboy Mag shoots. And you always had dudes in floppy XIX century shirts with frills but so did every new Wave band, it wasn't specifically a vampire thing it was just 80s preciousness in general. Goth bands were just as likely to lift inspiration from 1930s expressionism (and more Caligari or Metropolis than Nosferatu or Vampyr) as from gothic literature, so Ann Rice appeared in popular culture long after goth had been a thing.

Fashion-wise goth makes a lot more sense if you understand it as the spookier underground version of New Romantics.

Are you fucking kidding me? It's a floppy funk jam with a couple screams, that kind of throwback 70s shit with a dash of edginess was dime a fucking dozen in the mid-90s of course it was gonna do decent numbers, but the reason it got so huge is because all the high school kids who watched MTV thought "I WANT TO FUCK YOU LIKE AN ANIMAL" was the funniest shit, same effect as Lil Pump lyrics. And then those that stuck around and connected to it on an emotional level, did so because they were dumb MTV high school kids and that's the level of emotional maturity Trent always goes for whether he realizes it or not.

I know he isn't untalented, the point is that he's still a whiny douche and it comes through in his music, in a big way.

that is absolute bullshit. Most metal genres take at least a little skill, like being able to play a clean solo or play very very fast or uncomfortably loud. All you need for goth is be steady and figure out the right amount of reverb and eq. You can go the extra mile but it's not about effort.

Not dissing goth rock by the way it's super great, but it's pretty fucking low effort compared to metal. And goth may have gatekeepers but it doesn't have this elitist virtuoso bullshit culture built into it. Even braindead one riff on loop for 5 min black metal requires you to learn a singing technique that might fuck up your throat if you do it wrong.

No you're not, you discredited yourself right from the start. The late 90s and into 2000 that you claim was when things fizzled out was a peak for gothic metal, power metal, folk metal, symphonic metal etc. that was populated by goths. Other things such as cyber goth came after this date. Vampirefreaks social network also reached peak number around 2005+

Hell even your mall goth stuff like Marilyn Manson peaked after this date.

Bands such as Lebanon Hanover are dark wave and while that is cool, they are trying to emulate 80s dark wave. By the peak of goth being some what mainstream dark wave was a much smaller thing. Sure the goth artists of 2000 had inspo and listened to dark wave bands of the 80s they were going in different directions and bands such as Nightwish and Within Temptation reached worldwide audiences.

This is when you get most gothic sub genres, cyber, trad, rivet, vampire, corporate and so on. That was the progression of goth in the 90s from the 80s just like goth in the 80s was the progression of of late 70s punk.

They all had the same mindsets and while different were similar.

But the style like edgethot today are completely separated from all those things and entirely different.

You see this is why I trip, because you all know I am 40 (well, 41 now) and I lived through these things and not as a child, as an actual adult.

Most symphonic metal fans listed to all genres of gothic music and participate in the goth scene. Do you think there is just a symphonic scene? Hahah.

As shown here, this is what the goth scene was in the late 90s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-YGpg0pXxM

That's when it started again after the 80s original scene and then it died down in 2006 or so and has been semi-dead since.

If you think goth is some 80s white face and dark wave then you must think goth was dead since 1990 and the whole 90s scene wasn't real when the 90s scene had new influence and forms of goth like gothic metal. It's the punk to dark wave of late 70s to 80s but late 90s a resurgence of goth with progression.

NIN is 90s to 2010s

NIN is partially responsible for the existence of mallgoths, because they were RIVETHEADS who played INDUSTRIAL ROCK and had lyrics about BANAL RELATIONSHIP BULLSHIT

The goth scene did not fucking embrace NIN.

Teenagers and alt rock kids did. Then they mistakenly thought that NIN were goth because PHM is still somewhat rooted in 80s synthpop.

>Sorry to break it to you, anon. But a lot of goths are nerds and love dnd.

I listen to them but all you're really doing is searching for "dark wave" bands and associating dark wave solely with gothic.

And that's really not how it works because you can also cross over dark wave to synth pop which that band are also described as.

Just like here early 90s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q7s5fdgbng

You could claim dark wave when it's synth pop.

Dark wave is synth but darker lyrics while synth "pop" is in most cases the same thing which means genre alone is no indicator of gothic music.

Hey I sing dark wave therefore I am legit goth!

Your best litmus test for how goth approved a genre is is probably what's actually played at clubs. That's goth, deathrock, some of the darker bands of new wave, darkwave and industrial/aggrotech/futurepop/synthpop.

Those circumstances did not exist in say 1991. They are completely separate things and how you conflate them tells me you are making this shit up. Being goth in 1991 was not cool. It wasn't mainstream. There was no hot topic.

it was mainly emo in the early 90s. brown lipstick was more popular than black, and the cropped bob hair cut was popular among “emo” chicks.

the self deprecating humor and sarcasm still popular today is very boring in my opinion. people don’t actually talk about heavy subjects and philosophical things. that was a huge part of goth that isn’t really like that anymore which I think is sad. it’s not just a clothing style.. really, it is.
I think culturally people have morphed into defensive speech and offensive jokes, there was a spurt of intellectualism or pseudo-intellectualism as it was known at t he time, in like 2010-2015 or so, relatively short lived because of censorship. it’s sad, I miss “conspiring” with my friends

Let me hijack this. There was a subculture of "rivetheads", apparently. They supposedly gravitated around american "coldwave" (industrial metal? not to be confused with modern industrial metal which sounds a lot more overtly aggressive) as played by Chemlab, 16 Volt, Machines of Loving Grace, Sister Machine Gun.

Was this really a thing? What the hell did these people dress like? I almost refuse to believe they clad themselves in tons of riveted jackets because of how the front men for these bands didn't.

Here's the real blackpill m8t's.... Our economy is crippled. We're "social distancing". No shows, no scenes, no gatherings....Lord knows how long before things return to any semblance of normal.

Up until 2 months ago... we had the best economy the world has seen in ages. Public gatherings at will...good times for everyone who cared to have them...

Notice how their sound is similar but less aggressive to the above video?

That's how sounds progress and that's called influenced by. Because the 90s and 2000+ singers were and are goths and listened to that music in their youth. The same applies for mid 90s genres such as gothic metal.

None of the retards in this thread understand that whatsoever.

Well factually you are wrong, more black abusive kids than whites but you listen to the anti-white mainstream media agenda and then call people nazis when they point out the anti-white bias.

It's the same with serial killers.

So now that you know this (you can research it, if you want) are you going to say blacks just want to diddle kids? Or would that make you... a nazi? You know you'd never say that because you yourself have bought into the anti-white shit.

I'm not a neo-nazi. I'm a national socialist. I used to be room mates with a black dude (he was Creole) so next question.

>>15228496
>I like the music and don't dress up

Which makes you more goth than some chump in white face paint and black lipstick because as some of my points have been, goth is not about makeup or dress.

>>15228898
You were 12 only 5 years ago and the song was released many years before that so you're bullshitting. But yeah, I am sure a few years ago you were listening to years old power metal.

When you mock things and giggle, that's just immaturity unless you provide a counter-refute. Calling people 12 by acting 12 is just pure stupidity.

Yeah that's why who we become is mainly genetic (as intelligence) but other things are environmental.

It's why it's not clear if things such as borderline personalty disorder have a genetic factor or if it's all environmental.

Still, people are not awake to that so if you are, you have an opportunity to pursue things that are actually a benefit for you (views on tok top and stranger attention is baseless) and ultimately meaningless.

Yeah because of a lot of "elite" goths, the "better than thou" kind which is what you have seen here by people telling others what exactly can be and can't be goth really making it such a tiny elite clique and those type were always a-holes.

>gothic metal in 1996
>hahaha that's not goth
>omg you have to wear winklepicker boots and listen to dark wave to be a "true" goth

It's pathetic and they are too dumb to know that's exactly the attitude that makes them fake as hell.

Pretty much all that replied to me were like that so what does that tell you...

Me and some friends went to a mutual friends house cause she got a hot tub. I didn't know anyone there but one of them was unironically a big tiddied goth girl. We all got in the tub naked obviously and someone dared me and the goth one to make out. It was the hottest thing ever Bros I should have gotten her number or something I hate myself. I don't think I saw her again after that

Yeah tumblr, IG and tik-tok brought in a lot of zoomers who as a generational thing starting around 2012 or so (i guess that was when you had the first now-adults who grew up with internet and smartphones throughout childhood) all of a sudden didn't really care about music and were generally super up their own assholes about not drinking, but would take any prescription drug they could get their hands on. They didn't fuck a lot either. Like people in goth clubs in industrial in 80's clubs whatever, they're nasty. They'll all hook up as a matter of course and every regular has dated every other regular. But the zoomers and babybats were always these vapid, teetotaling ostensibly bisexual panda bears in Killstar. I really don't know why they're there to this day.
