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".

― Kingfish Beatbox (Kingfish), Monday, 23 February 2004 16:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Some people tried too hard to be goths.

age 19 in the dorms, I look 13.

― 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

I'm sorry if anything I said wasn't nice btw. I meant it all in a complimentary manner. Latham Green is a weird and confusing dude.

No I am not. I just love robert smith and won't stand to see him insulted as a fatty.

ok - only if you mean like Sumo Robert Smith snacking his belly into Bernard Sumner saying "we used the 6 string bass first!!"

you've also got the height (as in physically tall, and as in tall hair) to pull off a Birthday Party era Nick Cave look

bonus points for the leather pants, bolero-cut men's jacket, and attention-seeking belt

A+

― the tune is space, Thursday, 16 June 2011 20:44 (thirteen years ago)

lol at "attention-seeking belt". I was in Soho with Rrrrobyn last night commenting on the "improbable shoes" everywhere around us.

― Back up the lesbian canoe (Laurel), Thursday, 16 June 2011 20:46 (thirteen years ago)

bonus points for the leather pants, bolero-cut men's jacket, and attention-seeking belt

Just out of shot - Cuban heeled pointy toed Chelsea boots with attention-seeking studded strap. The pants were fake leather - PVC was about 1/6 of the price iirc.

― some greenzo (onimo), Thursday, 16 June 2011 21:06 (thirteen years ago)

thank you for sharing this with us

^ not very goth

― cloaca flocka flame (NickB), Thursday, 16 June 2011 21:56 (thirteen years ago)

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.

― everything, Thursday, 16 June 2011 22:13 (thirteen years ago)

This is the economical Tennent's option, in it's authentic vintage can:

What are these?
http://completelyinthedark.com/main.php?g2_itemId=12912

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.

I have been away to long and am too old to recognise youth groups.

― Proger, Sunday, 26 June 2011 19:30 (thirteen years ago)

they look like nü hippies to me.

Figured they may have cheered up in the years I was away.
Thanks folks

Not a very Goth setting (modernist ballroom of a country house, but, uh, that's our genuinely medieval chest I'm sitting next?) but a very goth 19 y.o. indeed.
