Only the guys from what I've seen - some of the birds are quite fit in a way. All that eye makeup really does it sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsastar Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 There are some fine goth chicks out there, and the ones Ive met never smelled of wee, didnt smell of anything to bad really, cept may be garlic. I saw a well fine goth chick a while ago, she had a long black leather coat, a tank girl top, tank girl boots, dyed black hair, and dark make up, and a red pleated tartan mini skirt, and almost gave me an instant stifmiester. very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black is cool but you gotta be able to wear it well and look good in it - sadly a lot dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Its possibly the ones that dont change there clothes and sleep in there own vomit that look shabby, and give the better dressed goths a bad name. The lead singer of the Cure doesnt do much for the goth look nowadays. And it wouldnt surprise me if he smells of waz. Some good tunes though.

Phanerothyme Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Originally posted by coopster1974 Well I was kinda hoping for info into the background behind it. The occult and vampires have been mentioned so I assume the roots are from there. Doesnt explain why they smell though! Probably the leather. And the secondhand, weestained clothes. The vampire occult thing is actually quite an new addition to Goth, following the popularity of Ann Rice, Bram Stoker's Dracula etc. more info about goth than you will ever need.

xafier Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Originally posted by RPG However, the clothes are exceedingly difficult to find/expensive in my experience Where do the goths on here 'shop' ? not really super "gothy" but for alternative clothing theres obviously Rocky Horrors on Division Street, the shops in the Forum... in Rotherham theres a shop called Mesmerize... theres a place in the markets in Meadowhell, cant remember its name... there's also various web-sites that specialise in alternative clothing personally, most of my stuff is random jeans from TX Maxx and the Forum... t-shirts/tops from gigs, Forum, Rocky Horrors, Mermerize, a shop called Kabooki (used it be in R/ham but is now shut)... I'd say my dress sense is more alternative/punk than goth as I'm just too lazy to be bothered with make-up and random jewelry anymore... it takes time and I'm a lazy student and I'll note... I DO NOT SMELL OF PEE, I NEVER HAVE DONE, I SHOWER EVERY DAY... MOST OF THE GOTH/PUNK'S I KNOW ALSO DO NOT SMELL OF PEE... some may smell of cannibis, or other things... or smell a bit of BO if they was out getting drunk the night before and crashed at someones house... but thats more of a catagorisation of a student or teenager not goths/punks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPG Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 The trouble with Rocky Horrors is that its nearly all band print stuff now Im all for band shirts, but only when they're meaningful and have a tale behind them! I mainly wear gigshirts and surfer-wear myself mind (ie. baggy trousers and quiksilver/oneill tee's) Now what I really want is a bowling shirt Ive seen them in Ultravixen in the forum but they are soo expensive its crazy.

H_E_M Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I've never met a goth who smelt of wee? I'd say that was a bit prejudiced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
