Goths I Have Been & Known-- Part 4 of 4 (Present To Future)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Up to this point, you can see how “Goth” is both more extensive and more creative than most people could ever imagine. It is not even called goth by most when you start going into faeries and such, but there are aspects of Goth even there that is unmistakable.

Currently, I find myself leaning into 2 different areas– just on my own going there– and I find that both things have an official NAME already and I am not as original as I think I am! Apparently, just as with the beginning of the whole Goth thing, a bunch of people get inspired to do similar things around the same time.

Not surprising, given how much cultural influences rapidly zoom around using the internet and other media!

The type of Goth I seem to be becoming now would best qualify as THIS, although the name for it is entirely new, as far as I can tell:

So– um, WOW…

I am getting into folktales and doing the layered look, often incorporating that into my daily wear. I like comfortable, but I prefer something more interesting than t-shirts and jeans. I’m actually not even wearing jeans much anymore. I am starting to wear soft pants or slacks or skirts more than jeans, which just seem too binding. Skinny stretch jeans are still okay, and I wear those under very long, pretty peasant blouses usually.

And yes, music is still an influence. Florence + the Machine are HUGE to me. I love her music and her styles. Some other bands I’m into are also leaning into fairy tales and moody and colorful fantasy.

THIS style is just beginning for me, and I don’t yet know where it will go, but I don’t mind the journey it will take to find out. I imagine that I’ll be having fun with this in our new home. Sharn has told me she wants me to paint and decorate her personal bedroom and Cat would like us to get more active in living a pagan lifestyle on a daily basis. I’m all for that! So I believe a lot of this expression will be coming out naturally as I develop over the next few years.

Finally, an aspect of Goth that is almost an “anti-goth” type of fashion is the White Goth. I have already tippy-toed into exploring this one and have about 4 outfits that go to this odd place.

My timid experimentations began due to super hot festivals. Wearing black and dark colors during the day is a great way to cook yourself! I found some romantic and light-weight white fabrics to wear during the worst of the heat of the day, and find them easier to wear, though I go right back to wearing dark colors and some black when it’s overcast, rainy, or dark.

However, wearing white with lights is fun to do at night as well! And it IS fun to go clubbing under black lights (which are also really hot, by the way) and wear all white. You glow and it is a whole new experience to play with!

Also, it is coming full circle back to innocence for me…

I became a Goth because I could not stomach even the appearance of innocence. Now I’m back to embracing that which at one time made me spiritually ill. It is as if a healing has happened within, and I have to follow that path to the end and feel at peace with it. To me, death and madness are what white are all about, and I’ve felt the need to run from it for most of my life.

But, just as I embraced the dark that I feared once, now I feel compelled to embrace the light. I want to confront my fears, even my symbolic fears, and befriend them, because that is how I develop and grow.
