    The perfect ending to a rainy Halloween night, just what I needed 🎃🐈‍⬛ This is the best comprehensive breakdown of the term "goth" and it's meaning through history I have seen thus far, and you are the perfect UA-camr to deliver it. I particularly enjoyed the bits on Gothic architecture and goth music. Definitely one I will watch again. Keep up the amazing work, Laura, you always go above and beyond! 🍂🦇 Happy Halloween from Canada! 🍁👻

    This is really wonderful and honestly the best video I’ve seen on the early history of Visigoths and Ostrogoths, as well as diving deep into the architectural elements. Thank you for your significant research into our subculture and where the term comes from.

    From what we know about the Goths material culture, those who could afford them preferred bright and colorful clothes. Ironic.

    Great video! I just have to ask, by heat (as in gothic architecture focused on heat) do you mean height? They are not pronounced the same, height is pronounced "ha-it". Unless I got it wrong? But anyway, I really enjoyed your video, I learned so much!

      You are completely right, I meant height of course - so sorry I got the pronounciation wrong 🙈😄 thanks for the correction! And glad you enjoyed the video!

    Do you still use the term "Grufti" in Germany? I remember it from when I lived in Germany in the 1990s.

      The term is definitely well known, but I don't really know people using it 🤔 I guess it depends who you ask 😀
