I think Goth found its way again once Emo came along and sucked out all of the boring trads that were diluting Goth to begin with. Certainly a lot of what was being passed of as Goth was more Emo (muh gatekeeping), but it's still possible to carry the Goth look well now (I know an early-20's Zoomer who is about 90% Goth, 10% Emo, and she wears the look extremely well).
It's a vibe 😉 I stopped paying attn when Rozz Williams died, I'm so old we called it "Death Rock" bc Metal wasn't there, yet 🤣
I do very much enjoy She Past Away, a lot derivative but done so well it's just right.
Feel free to send me stuff, Id love any shares.
Good to know you 🖤
I was more of a metaller (and obnoxiously strict about it). Mostly NWOBHM stuff. My tastes are a bit more eclectic these days not least because nostalgia plays a bigger part.
Goth lost its way somewhere in the early 2000s.
I remember goth girls with purple hair, haven't seen one since the like 2002 though.
Goth was really an 80s and early 90s phenomenon for me. I remember first running into emos in the early 2000s and not being impressed.
Now you have all the cybergoths and etc. Can't really judge them, I had my own subculture thing going on in my youth but still...

I don't really consider those guys goth other than Peter Murphy(not that they're not good).
