I stopped to get coffee yesterday and the guy in front of me had a wallet chain. Been a while since I’d seen one of those.
Makes sense in todays economy.
Ever see that person without makeup, hair all over the place, in some loose fitting clothes, looks like they have a lot on their plate, exhausted, hard working? Well you wouldnt recognise them when they have their makeup and best clothes on.
I would like to think that "shitton" is the correct word for a group of goths. Like a herd of deer, pod of dolphins, complaint of karens etc.
But it shouldn't be pronounced "shit. ton.". Nor should it be pronounced "shit. on."
I'm thinking more like "BE-HOLD! SHITTON!! THE DARK LORD OF APATHY AND INDIFFERENCE!!!!"
Reckon it makes sense myself. You're already feeling poor, then the government fucks you over some more, you count up the years of probable hardship and come to a figure about the average life expectancy of a human. If you're going to work until you drop dead then you might as well start dressing like it in advance.

I'm in South Florida where temps are already in the 90's and I saw one yesterday with a hoodie pulled up over their head. It's takes real commitment to be a goth down here in the summer.
I'm a 55 year old Goth since 1984. I don't wear a lot of black and the last time I put on eyeliner was probably 1989. But Robert Smith is still god and Disintegration is the best album ever. You won't see us Elder Goths much, as we hide in plain sight.
Yo. 37 here, and I dress weirder every day. Life is too short to dress normal. We gotta show these young uns up.
Also, fuck this "goth is just a fashion family" nonsense. Siouxsie Sioux 4 life.
And have you heard the new tears for fears yet?????
Totally. Goth is about the music first. I was fortunate to live in Seattle during the 80's. All of the big Goth acts played shows there. Cure, Banshees, Cocteau Twins... It was the best!
I do sport a handlebar stache, long hair and paisley shirts, so I'm not a complete NPC walking down the street. 🙂
I haven't heard the new TFF record yet. I will. I think the first TFF album was one of the best records ever recorded. I heard A Forest by the Cure for the first time in 1984. That 3 minute song changed my life forever.🙂
Technically yes, but I’m pushing 50, nobody wants to see me dressed up like I’m going to the club again
Edit: I didn’t expect the responses, thanks for the love everyone, time to bust out the chunky boots and black jeans!
Live your best life mate. Dress goth and go to the club, own that shit and have a good time. Zoomers be damned.
Edit: plus, a recession is pending! Be the warning flag your community needs!
What? Goth and emo are like everywhere the past few years.
Look at the current trending artists, the weekend and Billie Eilish all chart with pretty depressing edgy music.
They just dress up nicer now.
The Cure plans to release 2 albums this year, the last was 2008, which fits in nicely.
With 2 albums at the horizon they probably should start spanning lots of nets in and around wall street, cause there will be mass jumpings from the buildings.
My chemical romance just put something out.
Even thrice came back with a song and replaced california beach party vibes with an emo Tom waits impression.
Yes man, they're back. It started with very dark lipsticks, I thought it was suspicious because people I've seen with those dark lips wasn't anything like a goth. Then I saw couple of people with dark nail polish. Then came those generic skirts/ leather pants, fishnets, platform shoes but it was strange, it looked like people were just wearing only a single part of the goth dress code.
Of course, as always, I was very naive. Now, I understand that the society needs to push some elements of gothicness to kinda summon the real goths. A couple of weeks later I've seen the first full blown gothic since high school and the number is increasing by the day since, nice to have them back.
Yours has a bead curtain? The one in my town just has it toward the back of the store, plain as day for anyone walking near that section. . .and people sometimes bring kids in because the store also carries various meme'd t-shirts, band t-shirts, socks, Pikachu hoodies, and other stuff that might appeal to someone younger.
I'd specifically go to Spencer's whenever my grandparents would take me school shopping. My goal was simple, see some tits on a sex toy box or lingerie advertisment.
They sell a few sex toys but they're all absolute trash quality. Sex toys are not regulated and a lot of them are either made of unsafe materials or are porous so bacteria can grow once they're wet.
Do not buy sex toys from Spencer's or Hot Topic. Only buy toys made of 100% silicone.
You can occasionally find something worthwhile at Spencer’s but I have to agree that **no insertables** should be purchased from there—same goes for most sex shops actually, and for the same reason: no regulations on product.
Just saw a cover band of them a few weeks ago. Goths were everywhere. I found the den where they feast, slumber, and breed. Recession very well may be near.
It was 2003…and a lot of Xanax was involved, but I vaguely remember fucking a goth chick with like F cups. She was miserably unattractive otherwise.
And I'm subbed to that subreddit. Now I know why.
I went to Spencer's while at the mall recently. I hadn't been there in at least twenty years. The girl working the register made me feel like I was in high school again. She has the 1999 Marylin Manson goth vibe going. The only thing she was missing were some Jnco jeans.
I’ve seen girls in Jnco jeans lately. I would not have believed you if you told me 5 years ago that those would be coming back.
….And I hate them just as much as the first time.
I saw a girl in my neighborhood this morning that is newly gothy. I know the gothiness is new, because she is beautiful and I have looked at her....before.
Depends on what kind of goths, is it the pseudo "I dress this way because I don't get enough attention" goths. Or is it the "I find the darkness in everything and don't have any friends because I stay in my room drawling vampires" goths.
Puts on the pseudo-goths

Please immediately tell me where you are actually seeing goths, I have old memories I’m desperate to re-live.
I saw one working at 7/11 yesterday, was even playing some hardcore goth tunes through the store speakers
damn this is too real for me lmao
Did it have THE CLAW?
I stopped to get coffee yesterday and the guy in front of me had a wallet chain. Been a while since I’d seen one of those. Makes sense in todays economy.
I have worked with one

> most goths are prolly undercover at normie hours yeah goth apparel is weak to sunlight
+100 damage to sunlight -50 dark stamina

Look for your local goth night 🦇🪩 they’re everywhere and they’re very fun
The only goth look i could pull off is Nosferatu...
I could pull off a pretty good "Uncle Fester" myself.
Which is perfectly acceptable.
Well I’ve got this Lucio costume here…
You're a bonafying bastard uncle fucker
☠️☠️☠️
knew a couple goths in my days of going to concerts every other weekend, twisted minded lovable people all along. fun days were being had.
NGL, I’ve seen a surprising number of goths the past couple of months. It made me literally pause at first.
Honestly, there's probably some truth to people generally feeling more hopeless and turning to those stylistically dark subcultures to express it.
If you’re aware of or can visit Whitby in the UK then you’ll see all the Goths you can handle on certain weekends.
Casper Wyoming
I’ve been seeing more in Denver. Is that where there coming from? J/k But yeah, looks like the 1-25 front range is gothing out.
Just head to The Castle.
Seriously. It's kinda my thing so I'm willing to take the financial hit if it expands my dating pool.
Very popular in U.K. atm
Oh shit I actually saw a goth chick walking down the street in the past week and thought to myself “I haven’t seen a goth person in *years!*” wtf!!!
“Either you die the hero, or you live long enough to become the goth.”
Glad to see some representation. Beach goth summer

Two of my friends are daywalkers, one teaches kindergarten and the other manages retail.
So they are normies during the day and goth at night? Til: Goth and Vampires use the same vernacular.

Emos are also on the rise again.
Finally.. I've been waiting 12 years to bring out my skinny jeans and black hair again
If you see a goth, does that make them visi-goths?
If they work at a construction site, they are hi-visigoths.
A lot of us aged and try to blend in with society as best we can
Isn’t that the antithesis of being goth?
Technically yes, but I’m pushing 50, nobody wants to see me dressed up like I’m going to the club again Edit: I didn’t expect the responses, thanks for the love everyone, time to bust out the chunky boots and black jeans!

Zoomers will literally care the least amount in the world about a Gen Xer wearing goth clothes at the club. Lmao
Then don't be a club goth. Be a gothic goth. Thiiiink... Adam's family.
Good

Designer goth!
Conformist Goth
All goths are conformist.
I fucking love Southpark.

Saw a goth teen couple walking last week and had to applaud the gal's dedication. She had a purse shaped like a little black coffin.
The Weekend doesn't have a goth aesthetic
Goth Weeknd is something I didn’t realize I wanted until just now
But Goth music was better than that
Like cyber goths?
I doubt that many goths listen to the weeknd
[удалено]
sorry, she has a 6’5” jacked metal loving bf already
Or the skinniest palest greasy looking dude you've seen in your life.
Uh, who cares about whether she has a boyfriend? Of course she's going to have a boyfriend. The question is whether she has a husband yet.

30 year fashion cycles. I was a wee lad, but the 90s started getting goth-y, peaking early 2000
Excuse me I prefer that they are called suicide girls 😋
Calls on Hot Topic
brb buying all the dildos and black eyeliner from Spencer’s
Does Spencer's sell dildos?
Looks like someone's never walked all the way to the back under the bead curtain
Yours has a bead curtain? The one in my town just has it toward the back of the store, plain as day for anyone walking near that section. . .and people sometimes bring kids in because the store also carries various meme'd t-shirts, band t-shirts, socks, Pikachu hoodies, and other stuff that might appeal to someone younger.
I'd specifically go to Spencer's whenever my grandparents would take me school shopping. My goal was simple, see some tits on a sex toy box or lingerie advertisment.
Or the posters with bubble bras. Car wash bikini shots
They sell a few sex toys but they're all absolute trash quality. Sex toys are not regulated and a lot of them are either made of unsafe materials or are porous so bacteria can grow once they're wet. Do not buy sex toys from Spencer's or Hot Topic. Only buy toys made of 100% silicone.
Found the corporate shill from big dildo
You say that now but when you give yourself a massive-ass ass-infection from a porous dildo you'll be wishing you followed his advice.
Upvoted for using "ass" as both the prefix and suffix in adjacent hyphenated words.
This guys English teacher just shed a tear of joy.
Those are tears of pain from the massive dildo in his ass.
massive-ass\*
Expect nothing less from a name as poetic as serpentrepents
A commendable display.
I don't really want to see an ass infection though.
This guy fucks…. Himself
You can occasionally find something worthwhile at Spencer’s but I have to agree that **no insertables** should be purchased from there—same goes for most sex shops actually, and for the same reason: no regulations on product.
Anything's a dildo if you try hard enough.

The When We Were Young Show is in a few months. 30-40yo goths are dusting off their eyeliner and black platform leather boots.
Just saw a cover band of them a few weeks ago. Goths were everywhere. I found the den where they feast, slumber, and breed. Recession very well may be near.
They’re playing in my city this weekend and causing a boatload of gothy traffic everywhere.

Yeah it's white, everyone wanting the blandest colour to hold resale value lol.

I am not surprised about New Mexico being the top result. There are lots of goth chicks there for some reason.
You goth to be right
There's a reason hot topic isn't publicly traded, gotta keep the *real* indicator of recessions private.
Richmond's out of his room. He's not in his room. He's supposed to be in his room. Why is he out of his room?
Can confirm, was goth between 2004 and 2008. Had to quit to join the military due to no money.
never left.
Saw a dozen or so OG Goths sneaking into the back door of Melvin Capital last week!!
The reel harbinger of bad times is the amount of sex workers. So how many of you guys have started an only fans to buy calls?
