The History of Goth by Pete Scathe: http://www.scathe.demon.co.uk/histgoth.htm

Of his clubs Resurgence (photos here: http://www.ninehells.com/~pete/photogalleries/resgalleriesmain.html ) is possibly the most "gothy" of them

Do goths have anything to do with goths or visigoths of the medievil days?

penski · 2 Mar 2006 at 07:57

Unfortunately not.

They'd be even more humerous than they are already.

One of my favourite bands ever. Saw them twice in the eighties and still listen to them regularly.

Ahhh the good old days

Alien Sex Fiend, The Cramps, The Damned and so on.
I take it you hated the Mission then, I know I did.
Nephilim were ok though.

Are the people who kick bus shelters in related to the ancient tribe?!

The Cult were about as goth as I got!

that would be because the KH is full of idiots.

Certainly was when I was up there.

Oh and I was a goth btw, a very big fan of the Sisters, the Mish, Fields and Bauhaus, I also listened to a lot of The Cure but whatever people tell you they aren't a Goth band.

It is not obligatory to wear white foundation, just make sure if you wear any colour other then black then its purple.

Goth? He looks like a cadaver.

Hehe well they were a top band until they decided that they were native american indians and went all spiritual on us.

LOL. I dread to think what would have happened to him in our old local, full of punks, skins and bikers back in the day. I think they might have eaten him.

my goth friends have a thing for scary contact lenses that could get some good looks from people

where did they buy said lenses ? i saw a death metal band the other day and the lead vocalist had the most awsome contact lenses, but i haven't been able to find any sites that sell anything that hardcore

argoth.co.uk is a cool website, have some very nice longsleve t-shirts

just stay away from their alternative clothing collection, that is more than a touch on the disturbing side

Haha, I actually came in to post a pic from that night!

That was taken before I went out, and before I completed the outfit, though. You missed the depressing poetry written up one arm, and the slash wounds on the other

i dont know what scares me more tbh,chavs or goths, id be classed as a "trendy" because i wear normal clothes

I only dressed goth once..to get into Slimelight and watch a band perform. I ended up wearing black safety boots, a knee length black leather jacket and a black sleeveless shirt underneath. I didn't bother with nail polish or makeup.

These days though..I wouldn't mind making more of an effort...if I had the need to dress goth...which doesn't seem likely anyway!

Crikey, I haven't been there in at least 10 years, I am amazed it is still going.
The last time I went I vaguely recall watching a lot of "trapdoor" on a television and bringing our own drink.
