In light of how popular this video has become recently I wanted to pin this comment here to clear some things up.
This video was filmed Feb 2020. The accounts of Mansons abuse had not come to light and neither of us were aware. That section was heavily edited down due to time constraints (this original video was an hour and a half long) but my statement about him being anti violence came from his history of denouncing US war efforts and being pro gun control. Lynn also disagreed with me and my anti violence statement which I agree was poor wording.
Obviously it is now 2021 and many things have come forward since. We wholeheartedly stand with and believe the victims of his abuse. We cannot imagine the depth of what they've endured. We do not and never will support him again. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by his abhorrent behaviour and hope they get justice - Conor
If you have not watched them yet I recommend watching Colonel Kurtz's videos about the accusations against MM. They're very lengthy but totally worth it. She gives intelligent perspective.

I'm not sure how or why this video appeared in my recommended feed. I'm not subscribed to any Goth channels, I haven't searched for anything Goth-related, etc.
But for some reason, here it is...
I was Goth before Goth was Goth. I'm male, and now 53, was born in the late 60's and made 18 years old in 1986. I was a Cure fan when they were a new band. I use to dress all in black because I liked the link between the dark side, mysteriousness and of course, Vampires. I'm in New Orleans and live just a few blocks away from Ms Anne Rice and Lestat. New Orleans is also famous for being the home of Voodoo Priestess Marie Laveau. I was also infatuated with death, cemeteries, halloween, skulls, etc. I also played electric guitar and grew my hair long (80's hair bands). I dyed my hair jet black to be more like the members of KISS and because of my infatuation with darkness, mystery and vampires. I bought the Satanic Bible and read a few chapters and tossed it aside. It wasn't what I thought it was. It wasn't about Satan/devil or anything like that. It was about self-indulgence and gluttony - something uninteresting to me. I had my left ear pierced twice, my right ear once and my left eyebrow pierced. Most males back then only wore one piercing in their left ear because both ears pierced or just the right ear pierced meant you were 'gay'. Right... Being 'politically correct' was not a thing back then either. Being a dark person and stage guitarist (I had to wear eyeliner on stage), the eyeliner kinda followed me off stage. Some girls said it brought out my blue eyes. I also used to file my fingernails to a point. If I made them too pointy and they got too long, they would start to curl under. Anyway, imagine seeing me back in 1983 when I was 15 years old in black Z Cavaricci's, a long sleeve black button up shirt, a bolo tie with spike tips and a skull medallion, pointed fingernails with black nail polish, long jet (blue/black) black hair with black eyeliner on and long dangling earrings of a good angel hanging from my left ear and a bad angel hanging from my right ear. A black leather necklace with a gargoyle on it to stand by and protect my heart. I was this in 1983 until about 1995. I only had to change my appearance because society wasn't as acceptable then. I got married and became a father. A decent paying job wouldn't hire me like that. Y'all don't realize how good and easy y'all have it now. Back then you couldn't be you. You had to be what society wanted you to be - or you wouldn't be considered part of society. You would be considered antisocial and an outcast. Your family would starve just because of the way you looked. Anyway, I was Goth before Goth was Goth. I guess just call me the GothFather. LoL
@@eldie3d Thank you for the interesting read! That all sounds amazing! I'm sorry you had to change! I think things have changed alot for the better now but unfortunately it's not completely okay to be alternative in most work places! I dress goth outside of work but when I go to work I can not dress the way I want unfortunately

Thank you 🖤🦇

They are cute, even tho guys arent my type i can agree with u anyway
as someone in the goth circle, every goth i know is incredibly friendly
lol ikr
I like gothic people and I often see some around so one time I was eating alone in mall food court tables and all tables were full and packed so one gothic couple of boys and girls dressed came to me and asked if it’s okay to sit at my table so I said yes being happy and they smiled and we all talked and all and that made me friends with gothic people and most goths are friendly because there not just depressed there friendly people
Aww that's a cute story! Don't judge a book by it's cover! - Lynn
Depressed people can be friendly lol but Aw that’s a cute story I jealous lol

I appreciate how he directed the questions about “goth gfs” to her and asked her the questions instead. And I appreciate her answer being like “women get criticized for everything we do”, because it’s TRUE. I love that they are both real and respectful.
Thank you ❤️
Men also get a lot of criticism; mainly for being men and from people like you. What a pointless statement. Lets not let the contrived gender war infect gothness.
I love how big her coffee cup is ☕👌

I feel like the gatekeepers are in many ways not goth. Being goth is being an anti-conformist, so to try to force conformity within the goth community is the least goth thing you can do.
@@ethanmoore9512 I guess so, but only under obvious situations.
Goths are fit punks wearing black and playing melodic rock with low raspy melancholy vocals and heavy bass.
There should be some gatekeeping like if you don't listen to goth music then you're not goth
@@cereal8936 but I wouldn't consider that gatekeeping, it's the bare minimum to be a goth
What do you understand as gatekeeping/what example that you have seen of goths gatekeeping comes to your mind? @Kyle
12:50 THIS
Literally no goth I've met has been anything other than a friendly happy person.
Saaame - Lynn
The goth scene used to be welcoming to melancholy personalities. I liked it more that way.
Most of the goth people I have met have always been super happy and friendly and honestly I would call some of them super bubbly.
I'm friendly but I'm not a very happy person most of the time lol
Lol it's because you haven't met me 😆😭 jk i make dark jokes so I guess I'm "happy"
Omg the shoplifter thing i remember when i use to show my goth side i remember i was wearing a black trenchcoat and got followed through the store lol they were so surprised when i had money. I guess it doesnt help that i have dark skin too.
I appreciate there choice to show poc as a goth representation as well.
I also use to get stopped by priest all time asking me to accept christ. They dont know i was all ready going to church.
Sadly i miss my goth side but i was denied job opportunities in the past...
Just subbed your channel.
Yess we get this happening to us all of the time!!! And yeah it sucks how jobs make us change 😭 Thanks for the sub!
I love how they showed Goths of Color as well, when I dressed goth all the time i was always told about god to. I was Christian at the time as well, an had just left a christian school. Now I actually am more Luciferian (I like learning about Satanism too) it's weird how people treat you, they moked me an bullied me when I was over the top Goth an Christian now that I'm laid back but obviously a Satanist I get people of color being actually scared of me instead of bullying me, especially when I wear my White contacts (like I did when I dressed Goth everyday)
Lol I've definitely been followed through stores by shop keepers. It's kind of insulting
i remember going inside a store in a mall one time and everyone kept on looking at me because I was wearing all black....
@@NIMM_VOID as a black person I can say it's extremely insulting lol nobody deserves that,, people just love to stereotype
A goth saying "ya boy's a Christian" is the aesthetic.

This is actually me.
Good, no hate comments, let’s spread the positivity around cause goths don’t deserve hate cause their also human, btw I’m a goth too🖤
Exactly 🖤 it's great to see it!
Random Goth Couple I remember on a Gothic youtubers bbc news vid, someone was really badly criticising the goth subculture and calling us freaks and to stop doing what we’re doing and to be “normal” and boy did I pull him/her up, I had a go at them and told them to respect the goth subculture or to fuck off cause all of us goths shouldn’t have to deal with that shit, am I right?
@@angelofdarkness1980 100 percent we shouldn't have to deal with that!!
Random Goth Couple I get hate about being goth from idiots and toxic old friends so I just laugh at it or roast em right back
@Doyle Templeton it's cause they want you to be like them but that's a no go for me, I honestly don't care what people think of me
Honestly, the south park thing is so relatable. The reason I found my religion is because of an episode of the Simpsons
You can honestly learn so much from The Simpsons!
@@blackdiamond139 well I have some aspects of buddhism in my religion, but it's actually wicca
@@freudonadroid9165 What episode was that?
@@deeji6098 don’t have to be Wiccan to be a witch my friend ☺️
Eyyy my fellow witch sisters 💚💚
In the 90s. As a teen, the goths and goth culture saved me. They accepted me, and made sure I had friends
I was never alone in high school
I love the fact that you guys aren’t gatekeepers, because I enjoy other music aside from goth music and i don’t dress like a goth, but i encourage other people to listen what they love and also explore other genres.
Heyy! Thank you so much! We are very happy to have you here and we are glad you feel the same way we do 🖤🦇
here 11 months later, and no joke when i tell u, i get harassed to be someone’s “big t!tty goth gf” in real life and online. at first it was a joke, now it’s turned into a real fetish and i am introducing more colors to try and move people away from that idea that i’m a goth person but no color makes it different!!! help! i have a fiancé and it’s weird sos
Bruh im sorry that had to happen to you, people nowadays are just weird asf lol
Tell them to f*ck off or get a really nice ring and just show it whenever ppl in real life bother you about this.
The fact that you have a fiancé is great but not important here, what's important is that you're being harassed by weirdos which is bad for YOU. Sorry you're having this problem, it really sucks and it's not in any way a comment on your character and integrity. They're gross and it's not your fault; you don't need to change, they do. I hope you find a solution and wish I had a suggestion other than make your accounts private 🖤 Good luck and femme solidarity 🖤
Goth in the 90s, early 2000s was not only an esthetic. It was a statement. Usually, a goth would be sad and disenchanted about society, but they would be the sweetest, funniest, most empathetic people you could find. To me, goth were sad in the background, in their corner, and if you reached them out, they were super friendly. While emos where sad publically and stating their grievance on social media. (Anyways, that's how I viewed emos as a goth.)
I feel like sometimes it's easier to say you're "alternative" than goth. Especially if you fit into some/a lot of the 'criteria' and don't fit into other sections of it. Or if you can't dress as gothy as you want due to work, judgemental or conservative family, etc.
I used to say "alternative" a lot!! I agree!! I've been educating myself on the goth subculture and music for two or three years now and I'm so incredibly interested and its beautiful but I'd still consider myself a babybat!! Along with that I've also been emo (scene too!!) for about 10 years now but I've also always been in love with harajuku fashion like sweet lolita and other kawaii fashion (I also really love j-rock too!!) So I've always just used "alternative"!! ♡ I get a bit worried now though cause of how tiktok uses "alt" x.x I dont wanna be confused as anything because I've been part of my communities since I was little, I'm glad that some people are finding the community and being genuinely interested!! but a lot of people are kind of mocking and using it as a trend or turning it into something it's not (I'm sorry if any of this is offensive!! ♡ I will delete my comment if it is!! I dont want to make anyone feel bad!!! I hope that you're doing okie!!)
I just call myself me
@ Pastel Bunny, Toxic Tears a Utuber who is a goth also very much enjoys kawaii fashion so usually she’s very goth but then from time to time she transforms herself into this pink kawaii fantasy.. it’s adorable and magical🖤🥰
@@lucifera1456 I'm subscribed to her!! 💗🖤 it is super adorable!! Shes definitely an inspiration ☆o☆
@@hospibunny omg i love u
The whole goth girlfriend think started as a meme but evolved into almost a fettish or obsession which in my opinion is gross. I thought the meme was funny but I think its continued too much
@Grace Matthies
I could apply a similar thing with parental issues, coming from someone with Father/Mother issues.
True
I try to date guys in my town only to find out they fetishize me or want a goth gf 🙄
Fetishes are weird.
It’s called having a preference it’s not a fetish. Would girls who like athletic dudes also be considered gross then? Have we really become so damn sensitive that people can’t even have preferences anymore? Because guess what, literally 99.99% of people in the world have preferences whether they want to admit it or not.
I love how you guys brought up the "it's not expensive" part because yes, there are indeed other ways to diy your clothes. I think social media has brainwashed a lot of youths today to be a big consumer and adhere to this social media pyramid which is bad.
I also love your point about the music. People gatekeep too much about it. I understand that the foundation of the subculture is the music but sometimes I like some Rihanna on my playlist and some people just gets triggered as if it's a grave sin, haha!
Yes social engineering has been on that mission to force consumerism deep into the hearts and minds of everyone starting in the early early 80’s. Even making youth feel self conscious when they’re not wearing enough money.
There is a lot of difference between posers and a baby bat ;-;
@@erm12302 what are goth beliefs?
The term baby bat sounds so cute I love it
@@Madisvvn basically radical leftist
@@makingtoast5479 i don’t think you HAVE to choose a political side, or have “goth beliefs”, some people just really don’t give a fuck abt politics, i think that as long as you like the music you’re goth (because that’s literally what it’s abt, the music)
@@spectralbridee um... no..? Although goth is about the music,the music is usually leftist beliefs and artists, who believe of leftists beliefs alt is about leftist beliefs.or just anarchy and pointing out the flawed system and to raise up minorities, and alt isn't just goth it is an umbrella term .so even if people try and dress "alt" if they dont hold the beliefs, they aren't alt
Y’all will forever be the goth couple from total drama island 😌💖
I had to Google that to see who that was but that's spot on hahaha
I believe they are referring to the Total Drama Ridonculous Race goths, which I thought you two resembled to me also, Crimson and Ennui.
Yes ! When I saw them i was like , omg they're real !!! 😍
OH MY GOD THEY DO REMIND ME OF CRIMSON N ENNUI
We need to watch this show!!
To me, goth is finding comfort and beauty in darkness and/or weird things that others may find disturbing, ugly or "not normal". Plus it makes me happy wearing all black clothing and I've been doing it for almost 8 years🥰
From what Ive noticed with Anthony’s “I spent a day with.....” series is unless specifically stated he tries to bring on the more average pick of the subculture or topic hes interviewing instead of just bringing on big names. His casting process is he’ll post on his social media what he’s looking for and have people send in videos answering a couple basic questions that go along with what he plans on asking. This video was also still early on in the series and I feel he has improved quite a bit as an interviewer
Goth gotta be the most wholesome "subculture" on the planet. Nice to the core, well spoken, friendly, cute open minded people.
Aww thank you 🖤🦇
"Ya boy's a Christian. *kisses air* Love you Jesus." LOL! this is my first time seeing you guys, but you both are down to earth and really chill. Im definitely subscribing 🙂
But hey, guys, the Southpark goths also write poems 😂😂😂😂
This is true 😂😂😂
There are good poems out there.
For me, as an outsider to the Goth community, the big ***** goth girlfriend meme is very similar to the manic pixie dream girl trope in movies. I'm into gaming and a lot of my male friends make jokes about just wanting the sexy goth girlfriend and that is what it kind of comes down to for me, the sexualization of women based on the category of their aesthetic. Like you pointed out, boys would assume that you were sexual or kinky based on your clothing choices, when one has nothing to do with the other.
Honestly you can dress as the Queen of England and still being sexualized. I'm a boy and fortunately I haven't experienced something like that, but i'm SO sorry that you (and other girls) do.
PD: My native language is Spanish, so my Inglish might be not right.
Yeah it’s true a shit ton of guys have preferences for girls with certain styles. But don’t be hypocritical cause there are just as many girls that are literally the same. Girls liking that “skater boy” style and aesthetic. Some girls liking “nerdy/gamer boy” aesthetic. There are plenty more examples I still don’t understand why some of you girls complain when guys have preferences but it’s like you look the other way when girls (even yourself most likely) also are the exact same away.

I’ve been apart of the punk scene. I’ve met goths, most were shy n reserved, yet very polite n friendly. I’m impressed by the whole look. The outfits n makeup r so well put together. Never understood what’s up with the hair tho lol. So hard not to stand n stare cuz the darker style of beauty is so CAPTIVATING! Being apart of the punk scene, idk how we come across, I would love to know if anyone could tell me😉
If it wasnt for the Punk scene we'd never have Post-punk which ended up being Goth👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🧛🏽♀️🧛🏽♀️🧛🏽♀️🧛🏽♀️
I think the punk scene is equally captivating!! If it wasn’t for the punk movement we wouldn’t be enjoying goth. I also think that from the conversations I have had with other goths/punks/metalheads they are highly well spoken, intelligent, super aware of important issues and topics, creative, and extremely open minded. I also never get bored hanging with these subcultures 😉🖤

@@eunicee999 What are things like in New York?
I just found you guys! As far as any aesthetic style, getting started can be “expensive” as far as going like ALL OUT. I really appreciate the Pastel goth aesthetic but i as lo hate buying myself clothes ever because the weight issues i have and trying on clothing. I think it’s the stereotype that if you aren’t 100% in black with chains and doc martens, you aren’t goth. I appreciate you guys and you guys are super cute!
IM IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOUUU
I relate so much I always feel like I’m “not sk1nny enough” to wear the pastel goth aesthetic but I think it’s so pretty mixing black with pastels
im a young person in the alt community with a fear of being judged negatively for what i wear and u guys make me unafraid to be myself and stand out
Same I wanna wear alt stuff but I don't want people in my school to say Omg emo furry!!! are you depressed?? you're so emo and brocken
"being goth is expensive" just go to a thrift store
there are also a lot of cool DIYs like I made a choker years ago and it cost me nothing
@@chara_killahgaming1938 Another type of store that also works is places like Party City and Spirit! These stores have cheap,safe black and white makeup. They also sell fishnet tights, underskirts and things like that for really low prices. If you don’t have any of these near you, Amazon is a good alternative. Hope this helps!🖤
i think a lot of people forget that goth is about individuality as well. the goal in going to the thrift store is not to find the name brand goth fashion brands there, but to find stuff that suits you. i get almost all of my clothing from the thrift store or free boxes. also almost all of my makeup from drug stores or beauty supply.
Go to a thrift store in a rich area, rich people give away nice things
@@chara_killahgaming1938 it's also easier if ya ain't in a poor and conservative third world country like over here where alt things in general are hard to find, sure doing things like "diy" exists but gothic/punk/just generally alt accessories to do diy in the first place are expensive (ie. studs here can only be bought online and are overpriced), plus gothic/alt styled shoes in general aren't sold here, whether that's online or irl (you get them priced up from either Japan or China or smth). Seriously people need to know about this, they're lucky to at least find sOMETHING remotely decent in a thrift store 🙃
You both are just so lovely and kind and friendly. You love to see it.
Aww thank you so much 🖤
My BF recently found your channel and I'm obsessed - you both are the coolest goth couple ever!! 🖤🖤
You two are adorable; people are still waiting for me to "outgrow" my Goth phase...I'm 50...Nyctophilia is more common than you would think🖤🖤🖤
Not a goth, but I love goth community. They are mostly misunderstood but I find the art in it so fascinating, the people in it gold ❤
A metalhead here, btw! You two are amazing!
Yep I was a metalhead never a goth but no angst or anything towards them. They think (my observation from their comments over several videos) they believe everyone hates them or has something against them but fact is I don’t believe that the case. I suspect that’s more self image than anything else and who doesn’t struggle with self image at some point in life? They’ll outgrow it if they start meeting people who don’t indulge in their choice of fashion styles and see we’re really all looking for the same things. We all wanna find our tribes, where we fit in. Crazy world and technology has killed personal interactions and that makes all of us less sharp on our social skills and that makes us all less confident in new social situations. Goths aren’t an exception to this general rule, or rule of thumb, though in every possible demographic there will be people who are seemingly impervious to this social pressure and phobias most of us are not so immune.
Yes! I'm someone finally said it. I don't understand how people seem to think that all songs by The Cure are Goth. 100% agree with you I'm gonna subscribe because of these answers.
Most of my wardrobe is from goodwill and thrift shops. Especially suits and other fancies. So it's definitely not expensive. Also I am in the same boat with getting followed at stores. I also get handcuffed and pat down just about every time I get pulled over. Does anyone else get constantly asked if they are a vampire?
Omg that's terrible they put you in handcuffs and pat you down!! Yesss we get the vampire question all the time!
I live in New York City so thankfully I don’t experience these horrible things. People here are super open minded and get more compliments then criticism. I’m so sorry these a$$h0les follow you around in stores. And my mouth dropped when I read that they handcuff you and pat you down. I think that’s extremely degrading and pisses me off.
I was asked that by a child and it honestly made my day lol. People do say weird things though.
It's a bit frown upon in South Texas. Though I do get some positive feedback for being "unique". Also I have a friend whose daughter literally calls me a vampire lol.
You guys talking about not worrying about what other people think and that our wants and needs are what matter, legit made me tear up. Thank you guys for being so open-minded and awesome! ❤
50 year old retired "Goth" here. Still loving the music, (as well as the synth pop, industrial, ebm, dark wave yadda yadda yadda) Bands like Siouxsie, the cure, bauhaus, joy division, pink dots, sisters of mercy often refused to label themselves as Goth bands. I loved/love their sound and words and sure their lyrics were dark, and brooding, and the music was atmospheric, but the UK in the late seventies/eighties wasn't exactly a joyous place to be. Most young educated people were unemployed and couldn't find work, pissed off with the status quo and Thatcherism. Their intelligence and music reflected it, and I think their sounds and words struck a chord for many of us teenagers across the pond who were living under the constant fear of Nuclear Winter, (So why bother doing anything, we're all gonna die soon anyway). We latched on because we could relate, or at least we felt they could relate to us, like they were putting our thoughts opinions, ideas, and emotions into music and returning it to us.
I think the first band that I listened to that classified itself as "gothic rock" was Christian Death. I believe Rozz Williams was the catalyst to focus on religious imagery, as well as the "satanism" aspect. Which just added a little more flavor, color, (pun intended) and mystery, of the newborn culture that had begun confusing and terrifying our parents already.
Anyway, At 50, I no longer wear the clothing, the makeup, or the jewelry, And while I may look like a middle aged gay man, I am going to throw on Sopor Aeternus or ISC, or Heilung, or Coil, or Deutsch Nepal, or Brighter death now, etc... well before I would ever even consider actively or willingly pressing play on a single top 40 pop band that already saturates the music industry.
Point being, at the end of the day/night its what's in your heart not necessarily what clothes you wear! Cheers
You're not retired lol.
Retired Goth?!? Man,your sence of humor is lame as Hell
Thank you. This is one thing that has always bothered me about some goth gatekeepers. They think being goth means only dressing the fashion, when in reality in encompasses so much more than that. I also don't dress the fashion daily, and I certainly don't wear the heavy makeup (don't like the feeling of it) but I am 100% goth anyway, as I enjoy the lifestyle, the music, the art, the literature, and everything in between. Cheers from a fellow Sopor Aeternus fan.
I have an emo heart 🖤
"UK in the late seventies/eighties wasn't exactly a joyous place to be". So true, and I'm so glad you wrote that, because a lot of people's view of that period is rose-tinted, simply because so much good music came out of it. But frequently the music was an expression of frustration, anger and despair.
As you say: unemployment, threat of imminent nuclear annihilation, industrial unrest, shortages of power, uncollected rubbish piling up in the streets, awful housing, police brutality and corruption, IRA terrorist bombs, and in some cities everything seemed either to be derelict or being made actively dystopian and hideous with concrete brutalist monstrosities. Oh, and race riots, NF thuggery and P*ki-bashing, sus law and a mad war with Argentina, to add to the general irreversible decline, end-of-times feeling.
People either have forgotten about it (because they were too young to appreciate the sheer nastiness going on around them or, like me, they were too wrapped up in just living) or never knew it (because they hadn't been born yet). But that was the context from which punk, 2Tone*, goth and post-punk emerged. * The Selecter and The Specials (eg Ghost Town) expressed the zeitgeist particularly well, albeit in an upbeat way. That "we're all gonna die soon anyway" feeling meant you were dancing on the edge of a precipice, which added a certain thrill factor...
No pleasure without pain, they say...
Your outlook is the perfect mindset no matter the way you want to dress or what you like, we're all just people trying to make our brief time on this world as happy and comfortable we can. You're both awesome and I look forward to seeing what else you do!
Thank you so much 🖤🦇
I feel like goth culture to me is more about a sort of ambivalence to both the dark and the light. I feel like even though it is a musical sub-culture, and you can’t be goth without liking the music, but it has its roots in gothic artists and poets like Edgar Allen Poe. I feel like while it isn’t really an “emotional group,” it is about finding the good in things society would deem hedonistic like death and undesirable like sadness. I could understand mortemore’s perspective.
The things the youth come up with nowadays lmao
I appreciate what you said about people bashing others for music and fashion, I identify as goth, but i dont dress it 24/7 because sometimes im just lazy, i still adore the music, literature, and all, i just dont see a point to dress up to watch netflix at home :3 you two are lovely, im glad i found this video, even if its months late.
It's very rare we dress up! Especially this year! Thanks for the comment!
@@RandomGothCouple thank you for helping me feel less of an outcast in this wonderful goth life
Nice video, and when you said “ its an aesthetic, im a Christian, love you jesus” i felt that so much T~T
Some days i feel like dressing goth or miss my black lipstick so ill go to church dressed up gothic or pastel goth or just wear a simple black lip and sometimes new members of church will look at me like •~,• thank you lord, shes getting saved and im over here like “im born again O~O its just clothes”
I love the fact that he was unashamed of his faith "your boys a Christian; love you Jesus." Put a huge smile on my face I actually know alot of Christian Goths which makes sense since they love the cathedral look even tho they are not catholic but they love the building. I like y'all. I'm subscribing.
With love from a vintage Pin-Up inspired woman, who looks up to people like Dita Von Teese who married a Goth once. Love you guys! 💋
I love goth fashion but I wouldn't necessarily wear everything that is "goth". I also love gothic lolita, which is my personal favourite because I always had a problem that no subculture was 100% my taste but always just in some bits. Sometimes you just don't feel like dressing all in extremely attention gripping clothes because you rathr just blend in on that day. Also on some days I wear full gothic clothes, on some lolita, on some I wear pretty normal clothes, steampunk, my taste is fairly mixed but I love how both of you are understanding of these people. Love from Germany!
I dig the couples accuracy to the Goth scene. This brings back memories of when I was a kid back when I used to shop with my old Goth buddies at Hot Topic. And is it just me or does The guy look similar to Andreas Bergh of Deathstars?
Thank you! And omg he does haha - Lynn
u guys are probably the nicest people ever
Aww thank you so much 🖤
im from wicklow ireland first time iv ever heard goths with an irish accent i just found your channel today yous are so awesome so proud for ireland and the art of gothica 🖤🖤🖤
Aww Wicklow is beautiful! Thanks so much 🖤🖤🖤☘️
Hurray for the South Park goths tho! I love how that show really makes an effort into defining subcultures and not just putting everything on a big pile of blackness and call it goth
The auto generated captions keep replacing goth with "god" and I mean, who am I to dispute that really
Omg literally couple goal
this is the first video i see of this channel and i wanna mention how beautiful her hair is omg
Thanks, it's a wig! 🖤🤍
I think the price of dressing goth is determined also by location and also size. I generally cannot thrift anything that fits my style. Op shops here are full of grandma clothes, black in general is hard to come by where I am. Places like H&M are hard to come by here and are actually rather expensive too. And I’m also a fat person, so cheap stores that may sell things that fit my style they don’t stock my size. Even charity shops often don’t stock my size in regular clothing a lot of the time. It’s hard out here 😂
For health reasons you should try to get to a healthy weight first and find a way to maintain that before worrying about goth clothes. You can be goth till 50s or a goth till 80s depending on the lifestyle. And honestly some clothes just look not good if you are "too big" or "too thin".
Also clothes don't last that long if you are bigger which also means not many will end up in charity shops.
A big plus in losing weight is that you can always buy something in a bigger size if the article is not in your actual size (which happens also a lot where I live). Baggy style is luckily a thing.
I shop at Hot Topic or Claire’s for the goth jewelry and now I just make goth jewelry I’ve been doing it for about year now but I don’t dress goth but I like the jewelry
Nice! I grew up with Claire’s too. Keep doing your thing👍
I used to have expensive Goth clothes but then I grew from a teenager to a woman an none them fit anymore I tried the cheap Goth clothing route an now I'm ready to spend $100's on a dress because I need to feel like me again.
Completely understand that! My mam threw out all of my old clothes because she thought I would grow out of the alt fashion but I never did so I just had to re buy everything - Lynn
Well that was highly relatable! I remember reading a quote years and years ago, can't remember who it was by though "old goths never die, they just need less make-up" and that's true, I have kids (5!) And a solid black wardrobe is IMPOSSIBLE to keep clean and the little darlings love getting into my make-up so I end up skipping the make-up normally and wearing jeans and band shirts 🤷 when the kids are older the solid black will be back 😂.
@@nalanihamby3710 I love kids, I'm so happy for you.
But I cant imagine wearing myself not wearing black or band shirts for something other than PJ's (I'm in my mid 20's)
But I could wear more pink clothes I love leopard or is it cheetah print an Zebra print
But yeah know I'm in my mid 20's an childless (I'd love to have babies but I need to focus more on my magickal studies again for 7 years, get a Hearse/ drivers license, and most importantly my GED so I can legally homeschool. Even though I know online schools they can go to since I went to school online but mostly focused on my Magickal Studies, also I need to find a apartment an get stuff for it I've already started...sort of starting my life out late because my mom an her boyfriend never wanted me to move out but things were toxic an turned horrible so now I'm technically couch hopping an staying at my extended family...when I wanted to live in a homeless shelter but the doctor wouldnt let me because they wanted me to have a home. So I had to beg to live here.)
I'd still like some nice vintage gothic/punk clothes an also some more goth, Graver(with a G Goth-Raver/ Rivithead/Cyber Goth styled clothes from Etsy)
I just started using Etsy an there are so many clothes I wanna get
Plus lingerie to wear around the house when I move since I actually hate wearing clothes when I live with women or just my mom, but I always must wear undergarment because
Germs. (I have ocd like my mom used to have an it started in the hospital)
I cant wait to have kids one day I hope I'm married but if I'm not, I'm not an as long as I have a hearse an place to stay I'll be good
(I'm not waiting till the 7 year study is up just whenever I can pay off the hearse I wanna buy)
May I ask
Can I do remodeling to a Car before all the payments are done, because obviously there are no backseats in any of the hearses I've looked up an I'd need to put those in
@@vampiradeathrockerbatxq762 you would need to check your contact, sometimes they will tell you you aren't allowed to alter it until it's paid for, sometimes it is unspecified. Now is it wise to alter a car you don't yet own? Perhaps not so much. I couldn't imagine it either but the thing about little ones is they always manage to get SOMETHING on you right before you leave the house in a hurry 🤣, when you're wearing all black it ends up looking like you have random jizz stains all over your clothes. This gets better as they get older. For now jeans are just easier to deal with and band shirts hold up well to all the washing. I know some goth parents who still do the full face and all black, my hats are off to them but it isn't something I want to spend the time on when I'm just kicking around the house or going to the grocery store lol. Time is a really hard to come by thing and if I have to pick painting my face or trying to avoid being loved on by the kids over having time to relax and read a book or work on my art 🤷 for me it's an easy choice, I have my kids older years and the literal entire rest of my life to dress exactly how I want so it doesn't bother me. Do I miss looking like my favorite version of myself? Oh yeah lol sometimes I do! But for me the trade off is worth it, I sacrifice something I want for something I want more for a truthfully short window of time and then go back to fully dressing how I like. The kids are worth it for me and the time spent working on my art is worth it for me, waking up at the butt crack of dawn to do hair and make-up that makes it unpleasant to be around my children just isn't. We all do this parenting thing differently and as long as you are taking good care of them, and remembering to take of yourself too 🤷 the rest will all take care of itself. Just don't rush into kids, take some time to learn who you are as a person first, travel some, experience the world without the commitments of a family weighing on you first. I wish I had done that, kids are a blessing don't get me wrong, but take some time for YOU first, being a mother is a heavy responsibility that takes a lot of time. Waiting until you're stable and emotionally ready to really settle down will be one of the best things you can do for your children, when you aren't quite ready for it and it happens the children are the ones who suffer for it. Before you have children it seems like there is the massive rush to have them...and there isn't... truly there is no rush. Let life settle and be stable so you can provide them with the mother they need and the life they need, pay very close attention to red flags when you're dating someone too so you can pick the best co-parenting partner too. I loved lots of men who were fun partners but would have made absolutely terrible parents! I sound about a thousand years old and like a broken record but 🤷, you have a pretty short time left to be you in a purely selfish way, don't shortchange yourself.
@@nalanihamby3710 also with schooling I've always wanted to homeschool (since I was 13 an went to online school that was dream when I had kids) so it's either that or they can go to online school themselves
I was actually thinking my next ovulation I just had I wrote out some preschools ( chinese ones) I'd like my future kids to go to (I've had this plan since I was 18, but actually got the addresses down) an it's just an hour walk from where I want to live
I’m not goth (this video kind of just appeared in my recommended), but damn that room in the background is nice as hell
I identify as goth. I just wear what I feel like since I have a full time job as a daycare worker. Most of my clothes are black and dark coloured. I have 4 piercings in my ears planning to get more, a tattoo with 15 more planned, and dyed hair. I got told by someone close to me that I wasn't goth because of the stereotype of goths being miserable.
I'm sorry you had to deal with that! That's so not true! - Lynn
@@RandomGothCouple I actually seriously wonder where that stereotype came around
You guys are so chill you rock. Would totally hang out with you two.
YALL BOTH LOOK AMAZING OMG
Ya know, watching this video has inspired me to really find myself and be unapologetically me. Thank you
We are so happy to hear that! Thank you for the comment 🖤🦇
I don't know why this came in my recommended, and I kinda clicked thinking it be memey...but oh my! What a wholesome, genuine pair of humans!! Yall are both beautiful, pleasure to watch uwu
Heyy thanks so much 🖤🦇
Im a goth who doesnt listen to general considered "goth" Music(i generally listen to rock and metal) but for me being goth is associated with liking gothic literature but being goth is just doing what you want and feeling happy with the label of goth
It's called being darkly-inclined.
@@thatbitchnoemie theres more to goth than the music,goth is and always was a political statement above all else just like grunge and punk
@@mrselfdestruct7605 there is certainly more, but if you don’t listen to the music you are not goth/dark.
@@rinlodari4836 I’m asking a genuine question? what if they look the part and like the literature and imagery but don’t care for the music, does that exclude them from the goth community?
As a welsh vampire goth I never got called emo but get called murderer, psycho, blah blah blah, I'm proud of who and what I am and you both are gorgeously amazingly honest
We are so sorry you have to deal with that!! That's terrible! Thanks so much for the comment 🖤
@@RandomGothCouple that you both for being awsome and helping me giggles 🖤
I think something thats also important to note is he mentioned its "defined by pale skin" but that really isn't that true. Obviously it can be part of the aesthetic but saying its defining is definitely exclusive towards poc who are goth/alternative.
Yeah that's definitely true!
You guys are literally so cute & beautiful, you actually remind me of me & my boyfriend. We are both emo. I've been emo for years & he is a little newer to the club. Seriously both of your energies together are amazing like it makes me just smile to watch you both. Love you guys. 🖤🖤🖤
I feel goth and I’ve always loved the gothic style and music but I’ve never really dressed as a goth so I’m scared people are going to judge me for flipping the switch in my style. But also love literally all different kinds of styles and types of music. I hate that people think that you HAVE to stick to just one thing. It’s exhausting. Like why can’t I like what I like and do what I want to do??
Listen you should do whatever you desire it's your life and at the end of the day everyone thinks about themselves. No one is going to think about you for more than 1 second when they see you on the street. :
baby goth here :) that was my biggest fear too when i first started out, but over time i learned that it made me happier dressing the way i like, than dressing for approval of others. once you are able to enjoy being your authentic self, not much will bother you anymore. so do ur thing girl!!!
@@lycosidaee thank you 🥺💕
@@alicdzeja1235 I’m not afraid of people I don’t know judging me. I’m afraid of people that I do know judging me because they think I’m just trying to be “trendy” or that I’m trying to be someone I’m not. But that’s literally who I feel like I am but you’re right. Fuck them. I should do me who cares what they think.
ok so like... I dont watch Anthony's videos, I have never heard of this channel.... I dont listen to goth music (didnt even realize the music was more important to the culture then the fashion so learned something new today) Like IDK why the algorithm sent me here!?!?! But im glad it did Ima look into goth music now k bye
PS: Lynn is absolutely adorable and the reason I even clicked on the vid, Conor is the kinda guy Id have a drink with and talk to for 4 hours about random nothings and have a good time doing it. sub earned
Heyyy! Thank you so much for the support! We are glad you randomly got sent here and hope you enjoy our content in the future!
I like how you brought up that being goth doesn’t have to be expensive, because most of my alternative clothes are from cheap stores. One of my favorite tops is just a long sleeved shirt I thrifted and altered, I also have a pair of jeans that I thrifted and I ripped hold into them added loads of safety pins and soda tabs. The only expensive thing I have are a pair of demonias.
I'm more of a kawaii aesthetic person myself, but man goth is so gorgeous and elegant! It looks beautiful!
I like to do both myself so totally know where you are coming from 🖤
I was a punk when goth started. They were just punks with a different fashion sense. Same with emo. I watched goth and punk slowly move away from each other and then emo and goth move away from each other. Over time they have become there own thing but for the most part they still have some of that old punk core. I have always been a bit of a goth even back before goth was a thing. I think the only reason I didn't go with the goth look is because it was too much like work for me with all of the makeup and stuff. I started in the punk scene in Los Angeles when I was 13 or 14 then my parents moved back to Chattanooga TN when I was 16. I was here when the punk scene started and it was a lot different than LA less violent and more inclusive. It was were anyone that didn't fit anywhere else could come a fill like they belonged. I am a Christian, an old man(54), a punk, a weirdo, and a bit of a goth. I'm not sure why I felt like I needed to say all of this but I did.
lynn’s hair is so pretty
Thank you 😊 It's a wig!
@@RandomGothCouple That blows me away
Man, Severus really is a nice guy outside of Hogwarts.
You guys seem really cool, glad youtube recommended it!
Hahaha yess!! Welcome to the channel 🦇
'Marilyn Manson is anti violence' this didn’t age well :')
Loved the video!!!
These two are cute, genuine, I like that 💯
Thank you so much!
Your point on clothing is spot on. Ive been dressing alt since I was 13/14, I'm 35 now and I only found Killstar and the like a couple of years ago. Before that it was always charity shops, primark and where ever else I could find anything black that I could rip, dye, safety pin and shred myself to look awesome. I remember getting a last minute invite to a cyber goth night once and having to get my whole outfit from New Look an hour before getting on the train to London... It's always been about being creative and expressing yourself.
I love how positive and welcoming your message is.
When I comes to clothes I always thrifted or diy-ed my stuff. I love to sew so that helped. I started from the more punk scene so that helped me steer away from a lot of name brand labels and such due to their unethical means of getting stuff and learned to make things. Now I can make whatever I fancy and at a really cheap price.
I subscribed.. two things I found funny though my dude here said he loves Jesus but has an upside down cross on his necklace (which I understand is all about how Peter didn’t think he was worthy of Jesus rather than some anti christ symbol) and how my girl here is drinking from a mug bigger than her face in the camera angle.. adorable. And I’m personally like in love with the honorable mention of harajuku style
Thank you so much!
First time I've come across you guys, but absolutely love this video (I mean YOUR video of Padilla's video!) and can't find anything to take issue with in what you say. So many good points and really an affirmation in so many ways. You're such a great couple - will watch more for sure.
"I'm also into lolita fashion." INSTANT follow omg
I found everything I wear at a local thrift store. Black long coat. Black jeans. Black boots.
I had to, I couldn't help myself, the red button beckoned me to smash it! I'm an elder darkling I love all things dark and macabre but sometimes I look like a fucking unicorn puked on me because I also love colors of all sorts. Deep down I know that if there's anything I relate most to though it's goth. I've just discovered you guys and I really enjoy this.
I always hate when people ask me how much my clothes cost.
I'm legit wearing a 4 dollar black shirt from Ross and a pair of 12 dollar ASOS black pants, it's NOT about money. I just like how they look.
(Also people can go to thrift stores, its one of my favorite things and I find cool shit alllll the time there!)
Totally agree with your point about fashion and cost : People can either be fashion victims and pay ridiculously expensive branded clothing or you can search the charity and antique shops for great finds and just use your imagination. I suppose the irony is that the people paying huge amounts of money for branded clothing are kind of the exact opposite of what goth is all about: being an individual and not caving into the mainstream narrative.
Conor reminds me of Sebastian from black butler 😂
Thank you! We love that anime!
What is that I smell?
Is it UnDeRaTeD-nEsS
I mean this in the best way possible, I clicked on the video thinking the guy was the singer from AFI. Turns out I like him better than AFI
Thank you!!
It took me 5 years to be completely comfortable just wearing my pentagram earrings I got from Spirit Halloween. I only wore them around Halloween for a few years then slowly kept wearing them. For me it was more based on my religion and expressing that, but I feel it definitely helped me be more confident when I started wearing my regular super gothy clothes out in regular non goth group public events and places.
Anthony literally looks like one of the goths from South Park 🤣🤣🤣
This!!
Oh man! I thought I was the only Christian Goth around! You're right, it's just an aesthetic.
I entered the Goth Scene in 1982 at 15 yrs old, I had a black pair of Levi's 501 jeans (My Mom dyed them for me) a grey-ish green t-shirt, a beat up pair of second hand Doc Marten's boots and my black leather motorcycle jacket. I put a few pins on my jacket like Siouxsie Sioux and "Disco Sucks" etc. I wanted to paint the back of my jacket with the Bauhaus "Bela Lugosi is Dead" album cover, but my Father told me that if I did so I would be repaying him for the coat, money I didn't have. Times were tough through High School in a middle of Alberta Canada prairie town. I was big enough that I rarely got picked on, that and I couldn't afford the make-up at the time but it was never tough to be a Goth, it just took being creative. I love the fashions Goth's have now and wish I could have found ready made gear when I was at University where there was a small Goth population. Through the years it wasn't appropriate to wear Goth fashion at my place of employ, and now in my mid 50's I have a few Goth Fashions I have acquired that I find very comfortable for lounging and listening to the stereo, perhaps enjoying an Absinth (I love licorice flavoured booze of all kinds) or a Scotch or perhaps even open a nice Pinot Noir for the night. I lost my lower right leg a few years ago and have a prosthetic which provides me with the ability to use a cane, which is my most trusted accessory. Anyway my main point, you don't need to spend thousands for a Goth outfit, second hand and thrift stores are your friend, ask family if they have something you think is unique and borrow it (My buddies and I used to exchange jackets, or amulets etc. all the time. If I'm honest I may still have a really cool black and white herringbone long winter coat that belongs to a friend in my closet. It's been almost 30 years and he hasn't said anything, should I say something,...I still wear it a few times a year! lol
They remained me of the goth couple from “total drama”
I love your style. You both look so cute =))))
She is literally so negative I love it😂
Hahah, I'm glad you like it :) - Lynn
I was excited to hear that Lynn got her outfit from Penneys, like, "wow it's really cute and comfortable looking." Then ya'll referred to Penneys as being called Primark in United States, and I was like, "what? Penneys is still Penneys where I live." (That's what most people call JCPenney.) So I looked up Primark, and it's a totally different store than JCPenney, and only called Primark here because where ya'll are, Primark is called Penneys, and I guess there can't exist both a Penneys and JCPenney in United States. Anyways, so while locating Primark, there are only a handful of locations in the northeast and one in Florida. If I see one in my travels, I'll definitely stop in and look, but there ain't any convenient locations where I live ha.
you guys look so nice, great video by the way.
Thank you very much :)
Like you said... charity and op shops are great places to find clothes and accessories to form the base for or add to outfits.
Even Kmart here in Australia have recently had lots of black and burgundy garments and great lace-up boots.
Love your videos.
We are driving back from a family day out and I have never been so jealous of someone having a brew, ever time you have a sip. I haven't had a cup of tea all day.
