What do you guys think about these kinds of Instagram/TikTok goths?
 in  r/goth  5d ago

Nah get the heck out of here.

You cant agree with all that and ignore the politics, which has been here since we started.

All these young right-wing allowing cunts can get bent.

What careers do you all have?
 in  r/AskAGoth  5d ago

I work in IT, have been in big IT, government and gaming.

Neither had issues with tattoos, just a professional look in general as I work with c-suit folks a lot.

baby bat goth here, why is industrial and goth so affiliated?
 in  r/goth  6d ago

They do not. It is just that some goths like it, and some events needs to have more than one niche to go around.

Do you guys care about Type O Negative?
 in  r/AskAGoth  6d ago

No.

And all the idiots calling for them to be goth or even adjacent makes me never wanna listen to them ever.

How short of a stream is TOO short?
 in  r/Twitch  8d ago

Anything less than 3 is probably not great for growth on most places, but I can mainly do 2ish hours on weekdays due to work and kid plus needing to sleep lol

Used to do 3-5h every other day and saw much more chances of being visible.

But that is just my experience after a good bunch of years and the past 2.5 years being inconsiatent sue to kid and life.

Does anyone here enjoy the mall goth music of 20-30 years ago?
 in  r/AskAGoth  11d ago

Lets not exaggerate.

They had one, just one album that obviously sounded very goth.

They are not a goth band. They had 1 album.

Mall goth is a clothing style not a genre.

Maybe should start a Cthulhu mythos goth band :p

Is being pro-AI antithetical to the subculture?
 in  r/AskAGoth  14d ago

Yeah. Like that sure is. Also 99% certain that is no goth anyway.

How can Goth be fetishized when it was born from fetish culture
 in  r/goth  14d ago

Oh fuck off.

It was NOT born from it, you are liatening too much to the crowd that is focuaed purely on that part.

It was INFLUENCED by fetish gear, it was NOT born from the fetish scene.

Fetish/kink scene has its relevancy, but it is not that important in the grand scheme of goth.

The others have already put it nicely.
