do “goth parties” exist for young people now, just like american “ren fairs” (where it’s 5% rennaisance, 5% viking, 10% medieval, 20% dr. who, 20% lotr, 40% steampunk etc), but with old subcultures that people have only seen on youtube, and they’re all equally ancient to kids now, so people decide to “go” as “grunge”, “psychobilly” “DC Hardcore” “new wave” and sho on
DC Hardcore? It’s that specific? I was acting like a first wave goth when my chemical romance was overtaking Marilyn Manson and thinking both were posers. I have been described by goths as ‘OH, you’re like, REALLY goth’ when I’ve talked about proto industrial and early noise music as well as German expressionist silent films and if I’m any subculture it’s crust punk but a lot of the same bands that influenced goth early on are the same. There is a history to all of this and it’s not great seeing it flattened into cute cartoons
idk, i was shitposting but i can imagine that for people born after say 2005, growing up in the post-subculture era, that subcultures from the 90s and earlier with their individual niches are mostly extinct since before they were born and only exist documented online, and so can be picked up and worn as a fandom costume just like a steampunk or jedi or vampire
Yes but there will no longer be diy punk if people don’t touch grass. It’s people in their ate 30s to 40s playing and organizing shows, 5hwrws been less and less kids and the ones that show up are there for a lark. Seeing if anyone new had a band going and if they want to book a show had been met with stares. Like, you are a group of 8. That’s 3 bands if one of you learns to drum! It’s kind of assumed and has worked that I’d you encourage the kids you see coming to shows and bring em in you get the next generation of people putting on shows and that interest just ain’t there no more. These shows are made possible by viewers like you, none of us have a two coins to rub together.
