You were doing a live action version of Vampire: The Masquerade at the time. Except you were out in DAYLIGHT.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 23 February 2004 15:55 (twenty-one years ago)

In my old passport pic, I'm sporting a weak-attempt at the Misfits-style "devil lock" and a Bauhaus t-shirt. Someone should've ended up silly life at the time on principle.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 23 February 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha teeny = Patricia from Slacker Comics (probablility of any knowing what I'm rabitting on about = 0.001)!

haha you're close ned! also andrew I do know what you're on about b/c that picture is of the war memorial in Milwaukee when I was there for GenCon!

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

p.s. anyone going to GenCon this year?

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

GothCon surely is more your speed!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

i wish i had some funny ones to post, but any incriminating photos at my parents'. one i'm quite fond of: me age 15 in a black betsey johnson baby doll dress with ruffled pockets, black midcalf leggings, and maroon velvet converse. several burgundy streaks in hair.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Teeny is that rarest of species, a thin goth girl.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Damn, mine are all also at my parents.. Most involved my 20-holes DMs and some weird pirate shirt.

― Baaderist (Fabfunk), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Teeny is that rarest of species, a thin goth girl.

Apparently South Park recently had some fun with the stereotype.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:23 (twenty-one years ago)

damn, that's really cool teeny.

there are rumored pix of me w/ robert smith-do and in black, circa 1988. seeing as i had the robert smith-do for all of 2 weeks in 1988, i find that hard to believe.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:29 (twenty-one years ago)

teeny wins. the closest thing I have is a pic of me dressed as the walking corpse of Ian Curtis for Halloween.

i worked at AMG at the time, and hardly any of THEM got it, either!

however, the one pic has a bad shot of my gut, too, so the hell with any of you seeing it.

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Were you doing the spastic fly dance or not?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

well, i had a trenchcoat, zombie make-up, a noose around my neck, and a little nametag that said "Hi, my name is Ian".

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I have a Peter Murphey tattoo, its a panoramic style picture where is his suplexing Bela Lugosi on some collapseable metal chairs from the top rope.

Oh yeah, they are both crying.

One of Robert's odder photos there.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

This is sad, not only was I hoping for more fantastic HOTT GOTH AKTION here (both male and female), but I also realized that I don't have anything to contribute here, because I don't think I have any photographic record of my own brief goth look. Closest I can come is a pic of me in a motorcycle jacket which reminds me of Alex, for some reason.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

goths don't like chocolate!

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I really like your short hair there teeny!

I have a very teengoth pic somewhere but until now, who knew there would be a reason to scan it...

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:46 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah I know nobody really has their goth shame pics on the web, this thread is made to be revived later. also wtf Kingfish???

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:46 (twenty-one years ago)

They like DARK chocolate. Thats so obvious.

― Spinktron 2000 (El Spinktor), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:49 (twenty-one years ago)

dark like my soul!

You're taking all the joy out of being a goth, Mikey.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

dark chocolate w/absinthe-creme filling.

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Wrapped in Clove scented paper, labelled in Olde English style font.

― Spinktron 2000 (El Spinktor), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I've got a great one from the Halloween we went drunken trick-or-treating at college, but am only playing dress-up.

My goth best friend at college would only eat white food: rice, fettucine alfredo, vanilla ice cream, cauliflower, white chocolate. She also used chopsticks for a whole year.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I have no secret goth shame, unfortunately, unless you count having the hots for that one girl who also went to First Avenue on Sunday nights.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I remember when you could smoke in Northern Lights but they'd give it billyo if someone lit a clove cigarette.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I think the only good pictures are probably at my parents' house, and I'm not going to go out of my way to break my "no posting pictures" policy.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:47 (twenty-one years ago)

I have one picture of me in a cure t-shirt with lipstick on and my hair looking like Mr. Smiths. But I don't have a scanner, nor do I want to post it.

― Chris V (Chris V), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I used to wear black, but mainly to be a noisy pop lovin' JAMC-wannabe. It was always upsetting if people mistook me for a 'death-rocker'. I would always be annoyed when 'death-rockers' I knew from school would show up at Mary Chain or MBV or even Dinosaur Jr! (well, I guess they did cover the Cure) concerts in full regalia. I don't even remember if I acknowledged them even though that kind of interaction was like, so high-school. Now I realize that to anyone who couldn't care less, I was a death-rocker too!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I owned some Christian Death albums and really liked them.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 23 February 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Y'know on the excellent South Park goth one, that kid who contemptuously flicks his right curtain out of his face every four seconds, that's me, only I have nice clothes

That ain't shame, that's grand!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 23 February 2004 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, deathrockers. To be a deathrocker you needed a bunch of Christian Death records and cross jewellery and a copy of Maldoror, at least according to the deathrockers I knew (the Cure was pop music for them). They had Bauhaus jackets while I had Cocteau's Boy with a Gun on the back of mine. I liked the Jesus and Mary Chain too, Spencer, but we checked them out due to East Kilbride/Roddy Frame-type things so I FEEL YOUR PAIN.

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 23 February 2004 19:04 (twenty-one years ago)

I think you should also have to own a copy of this.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 23 February 2004 19:10 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay, someone else mentioned a geeky convention before I mentioned mine!

That last Teeny shot is very winsome.

I used to have a picture of fanny-packing me standing next to a cardboard cutout of Dr. Crusher, would that be enough?

I'm sorry I can't share in the shame teeny, the most goth pic of me ever is when my cousin and I dyed our hair this weird shiny maroon and I'm wearing a big goofy medallion 'round my neck. Of course, we're at the beach, which is the least goth setting possible that's not wherever the fuck the Care Bears live.

I could rummage through some pics at home and find some of my old extremely-hippied-out pics. My secret they-used-to-call-me-Jesus shame!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah sorry, try starting a secret gamer shame thread, I think I have some pics of me and Ed Greenwood.

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Okay, not quite goth, but close enough. Here's a pic of me singing in a madrigal group my freshman year of college. (And, yes, I did have tights on.)

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

haha!

― Prude (Prude), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Bah! I'm onna delete the pic then. But cmon, the shame is potent, since it was taken in the MID-90s.

I'm holding a Giants cap, btw.

― Leee Majors (Leee), Monday, 23 February 2004 20:11 (twenty-one years ago)

though i did like decadent fin d'seacle literture.

also madigrals are perhaps the coolest thing ever!

― anthony, Monday, 23 February 2004 20:28 (twenty-one years ago)

They certainly are. We were the only group I know of that still performs in period garb. At the concert from which that picture was taken, we even had a maypole:

the Yahoo AP photo server is full of kitten pictures today.

however, the schmuck who's captioning them doesn't want anybody to have any fun, apparently.

― the surface noise (electricsound), Monday, 23 February 2004 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

There are no goth photographs of me because I was never visibly goth and there aren't many photographs of me to begin with; but my first sold story was titled "Straight on Till Mourning." With a u. LIKE MOURNING ABOUT DEATH.

(It was retitled for the collection.)

Well okay teens, but will you at least email it to me? Pretty please?

Fuck. I could show you something amazingly shameful which I snapped just tonight. But I don't have FTP access to my Web space at the moment.

Not that I'm a goth. Just incredibly black.

It certainly is. I regret having nothing to offer. I do have secret industrial music look shame however.

Teeny is that rarest of species, a thin goth girl.

yes, why is that?

who knows? an aversion to a balanced diet & exercise on they hit their 20's?

Prude, I am astounded and inspired. Does anyone realise just how far he's gone? Forget your shame, teeny and trayce. Compared to Prude, well, words fail us all. They become mute beggars, drunk and incontinent.

My god, Prude. My god. You are a hero to us all.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 29 March 2004 04:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Wha?

― Prude (Prude), Monday, 29 March 2004 06:13 (twenty-one years ago)

You mean how far I've come from my Madrigalicious past? Yes. Yes I have. But every so often I look at my tabbard and tights hanging in the closet and sigh.

― Prude (Prude), Monday, 29 March 2004 06:14 (twenty-one years ago)

There are too many dorky goth pics of me on this thread, I just decided. Blargh.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 29 March 2004 06:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I still haven't found anyone who took photos of *my* secret goth shame, which was only a couple of months ago.

― caitlin (caitlin), Monday, 29 March 2004 09:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Prude, you are a legend. Now, if only there was a 'your secret dork shame' thread, and if only I knew how to upload photos, I could offer something too.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 29 March 2004 09:27 (twenty-one years ago)

MORE GOTH PICS!!!

― Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 29 March 2004 11:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I've got a great one but it needs scanning (Halloween 1987: college students get drunk, go trick-or-treating dressed for the occasion).

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 29 March 2004 11:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, y'know, Colin, the shame in this thread is pretty flexible. I'm sure if you posted the evidence of your dork shame no one would mind.

Well done. If I can find a scanner sometime soon, I will be very tempted to post my 15-year-old goth picture. (I wasn't really a goth in high school, but one summer I befriended a trio of goth girls, and well...)

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 20 May 2004 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

there were goth girls in the brook?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 20 May 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

It wasn't in the 'Brook -- it was at the Illinois Summer School for the Arts at Illinois St. Univ.

Although sure, there were goth girls at BHS -- I did hang out with Mar1e Rutk0sk1, N1na 0rechwa, and L1z Beaver, too, if they count. (Ms. Br0nkema called them "The Sirens.")

When I were a young goth I did not allow myself to be photographed because I had this idea that it'd be really cool to DIE and leave no photographic evidence that one had ever existed or failing that to leave no photographic evidence past a certain year, therefore there are almost no pictures of my in my black-haired splendor

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 21 May 2004 12:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Did you seriously used to hang with Rozz Williams, J0hn? I care not about this m'self, I cant stand xian death, but Ive a friend who will have absolute cardiac arrests at such news. She celebrates his death day and everything, its a bit silly really.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 May 2004 22:50 (twenty-one years ago)

My. Well, John I guess is busy with show stuff or something tonight (mebbe), but I can say that he did know Rozz, and that the liner notes to John's spiffo album The C0r0ner's Gambit conclude with an extended letter to Rozz written after he had passed on at his own hand. It's funny, frightening, thoughtful and moving, and well worth the reading.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 May 2004 22:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I must away and look into this forthwith :) Actually on that note, I'm off to the shops and think I might actally buy me some g0ats elpees. And that new Franz Ferdinand thing. And pay my rent, gah look at the time... tata all.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 21 May 2004 23:35 (twenty-one years ago)

If you can find the vinyl copy of The Coroner's Gambit it's got the best presentation of that letter - the CD type is a little dot-matrixy. He & I were drinking pals for a while there when we were both really into drinking rather a whole lot. Last year I finally went and saw his plot at the Hollywood Forever cemetary and it hit me rather harder than I expected it to - I hadn't seen him in well over ten years, and we'd parted on less than ideal terms, but still...old friend, a nice guy underneath it all.

Also, Christian Death with Rozz > Christian Death without Rozz...really Valor shouldn't have kept the name, but he knew Rozz hadn't the wherewithal to claim it legally.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Friday, 21 May 2004 23:52 (twenty-one years ago)

― papa november (papa november), Friday, 5 November 2004 14:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Was it dyed pink or was it rolled in the blood of a thousand aborted fetuses?

It was dyed pink. They told me so. You can see some of the dye on the blanket actually. I have a strong feeling it was the same pink the one on the left did her hair with.

― Onimo (GerryNemo), Saturday, 22 April 2006 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

It's shaved at the sides to make it easier to stack up on top. It's really just a messy wide mohawk that's trying to fall over.

I published Poppy once, and she helped me get an American literary agent I used for awhile. She's nice.

Kate is still trying to out me as an ex-Goth, but I think I am disqualified owing to my intense dislike for the colour purple, fantasy novels and satin/lace/velvet combos. I tended toward the Warhol Indie Flapper side of things and pretty much still do.

this thread makes me miss Rozz so much

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Sunday, 23 April 2006 22:17 (nineteen years ago)

My secret goth shame would include going to a "vampire movie theme night", which quickly turned into people biting each other and, later on, "orgies" (the vampire theme had already been discarded, so I guess that's more about my secret hippie shame). Thankfully there's no photographic evidence of all this.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 23 April 2006 22:49 (nineteen years ago)

Be careful conflating the two though: vampirism and people into blood play is NOT the same thing as being a goth. I know almost no goths into blood play, and most of them would snigger at someone wearing fake fangs or being obsessed with vampires.

In fact most goths I know are either roleplayers, IT geeks, or both - they all have good well paid jobs and are extremely nerdy and smart.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 23 April 2006 23:24 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I know. And I have no idea what "blood play" is - what we did was good old fashioned orgies, nothing too kinky.

Most of the goths I know are LARPers, and vice versa. I think what unites the two groups is this sort of elitism and disdain for "ordinary" and "mass" people, which I've always found the worst aspects of otherwise perfectly okay subcultures.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 23 April 2006 23:37 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah the phrase "normals" (said with some disdain) has come up among people I know in the past.

Personally I found it all a bit of a wank. I just liked the clothes!

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 23 April 2006 23:42 (nineteen years ago)

I think a lot of goths and LARPers are nerds and geeks who got bullied and rejected as a kid, and want to build their "difference" and "outsidedness" into a positive identity. Which is perfectly okay, as long as that doesn't mean thinking your better than everyone else.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Sunday, 23 April 2006 23:44 (nineteen years ago)

(x-post)

In Finnish the preferred slur for ordinary folks is "mundies" (i.e. mundane people).

photo taken by my goth girlfriend. I was into gore and blood and things that were "intense", it being high school and all.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Monday, 24 April 2006 00:13 (nineteen years ago)

Strangely hottt actually. Real blood?

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 24 April 2006 01:49 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, it is real blood. I had sore, bledding gums, and deliberately flossed them really fiercely so that my mouth would fill with blood, then got my girlfriend to photograph the results. What can I say, I was really into the cover of the Samhain "initium" album and was hoping to make my own tribute picture.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Monday, 24 April 2006 02:07 (nineteen years ago)

"sore, bleeding gums", it should say.

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Monday, 24 April 2006 02:07 (nineteen years ago)

Sorry! (though that reaction is why I wanted to make that kind of photo)

Mostly, I was way into these people:

Haha I love how vehemently I was denying the goth thing back then wtf ;_; I do like goth music, I just needed to find the right stuff I think.

Such a photo opportunity missed this weekend.

In a local park a gang of heavily dressed goth teens had sat down in a circle all loudly discussing harry potter.
Almost symmetrically opposite them on the other side of a path was a circle of equally loud topless/stripey shirted/baseball cap chav teens.

And right in the middle of the gangs, two kids, one from each gang, were having a friendly chat

― Ste, Monday, 13 August 2007 10:44 (eighteen years ago)

Right. Your task, should you choose to accept it, ILX, is to photoshop the kid those two in the middle are going to have.

― StanM, Monday, 13 August 2007 10:50 (eighteen years ago)

(photoshop or draw or lay in a pattern of yellow stones on your scanner or whatevs)

― StanM, Monday, 13 August 2007 10:51 (eighteen years ago)

Ste that would have been a brilliant photo!

― Trayce, Monday, 13 August 2007 11:09 (eighteen years ago)

would you call these guys goth?

My Walmart-shopping, AT40-listening girlfriend and I got to building bookshelves this weekend and taking all of our books out of the liquor boxes and cabinets they had been stored in for so long (in my case over a year). Among her contributions was a thick stack of Sandman comics and trade paperbacks.

This was almost as good as the time I found her CD copy of Death Angel's Frolic Through the Park in the back of a kitchen drawer.

That's not "cheap" Tennents lager, just normal Tennents lager. As far as I remember the staple goth drinks in Scotland were pints of cider and blackcurrant, snakebite, snakebite and blackcurrant, zombies, bottles of Merrydown, Thunderbird wine and 3 litre bottles of cider.

They are not goths; in my day they would have been crustie types, I snapped them last year in York as I liked the colours and the light,( so certainly not goths then). Do crusties exist anymore? It is York so things may be different.
