this is very broad umbrella goth community until we get enough content / subscribers to justify split, so

on top of the normal instance rules:

please make sure you add a NSFW marking for anything gorey (though Gorey is still fine :) )

please make sure links to material dealing with e.g. self-harm have appropriate content warnings

please be nice to each other. if you think something's stupid/bad, just downvote it and move on. if you think something doesn't belong in this community, messaage it to the community mods who will do any gatekeeping necessary. this means you should not be showing up in the comments to tell someone their post is not real goth.

This is my first post ever in Lemmy. Glad i found a goth community here.

My name is Ariel. Im an elder goth from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

For this short presentation i choose a classic song from a band that needs no introduction.

Have a great Friday.

Honestly, I've always loved that you see people from different generations showing up to the club and doing their own things. Not Old Guy Coming To Hit On Women Half His Age--people coming to see their own friends, with their own stuff going on. Seems good for everybody.

I was explaining to my mom once about a monthly benefit night and a separate monthly craft bazaar and she started cracking up, saying it was like a church. My suspicion is that healthy community centers of any community develop similar appendages.

A friend has promised me (animal) bones, and I'm very excited. A number of them will have to go into storage for a while as I don't have the display space one would wish for - - but ever since visiting the Capuchin Crypt in Rome I've been enchanted by the aesthetic potential of the 3d forms (and 2d cross sections) of vertebrae.

And how do we call attention to aestheticize an object, if not with gold leaf?

One almost feels uncomfortable being so aware of the romantic purpose of all those who'd stayed in the room before you--I mean, not that that isn't many hotels, but I just don't see how you'd avoid thinking about it in these rooms. But oh the bathtubs...

I don't own this book, but I adore everything I've seen from it.

We really lost something when we began to pretend we could wall off death.
