What are your thoughts?
Personally... I love "classic" goth..
But! I can't stand women who insist on wearing black lipstick! It's sooooo out of fashion!!!!!!

I love gothic fashion, I still wear some gothic stuff but more toned down or more adapted to my own individual style. It's got a place in fashion, definitely, but I sometimes look at people just going to school or walking around the town in full gothic gear and I think yeah, it looks cool, but how long did you have to spend on your appearance this morning? I couldn't be bothered with that every day.
I'll only go really gothic now if I'm going to a gig or something. My boyfriend wishes I did it more often, though - I think he finds it sexy.
The classic look i think can look good, even stunning, on people who know how to get it right.
The look favoured by the 13 year olds however is kinda dull. Your right the black lipstick thing just looks daft.
dont like black lipstick on girls - or black lipstick on the guys that kissed the girls hehe
"Goth" is hardly about being IN fashion is it? Otherwise you'd be buying your stuff down New Look wouldn't you.
I get the feeling other goths would be ashamed of you.
Yes "Goth" is a style, therefore a fashion.
The sooner goths stop kidding themselves its individual the better.
That doesn't mean it's in fashion tho
But I think they alltend to go a bit OTT and look stupid, to be honest. But it's the attitude of these people that annoys me the most.
But that's not the issue
Being in fashion- A style thats popular?
How many goths do you see walking round? Quite a few, therefore its popular, therefore its in fashion.
I rest my case
It's all relative. There are far more "trendies" than "goths" if we're going to start with the lables.
Goth hasn't actually been in fashion properly since some time in the 80s. It's had it's minor comebacks but nothing to speak of really.
Exactly. Goth is fine and can be really attractive on some people. It's a different style, but it's not individual. People who dress gothic may look different to the 'trendies' you see walking around the high street every day, but go somewhere like Camden or to a goth club and they all look the same.
noooo, i meant attitude as in the way you react to people, etc.
Edited to add: not being all rebel-like and punky..!
About the actual fashion, clothes make-up etc... I think it can look gorgeous. As long as the make-up isn't too black and corpse-like that is. The corsets, dresses, abundant lace etc, are beautiful. Not an 'everyday' look though!
It's a cult... and excuse me, but Goth has been and is atm in fashion... Just walk into any Tammy (yes I know its for kids) and the first thing u see is teenage Goth!
Personally, I don't class myself as a teenage Goth.. I just like corsets... and black... and sisters of mercy... Damn.. kinda shot myself in the foot there.. lol
Alot of goths
No, it's not. It's a fashion, but it's not in fashion.
What does that tell you then? It's a fashion for kids? :rolleyes:
my dad is hilarious, always asking her what 'they' get up to
It's still popular but it's not 'in fashion' as such.
