What is "goth" ?


Troy Spiral

Recommended Posts

I guess to me, goth is thinking outside the box, being able to find an inner mental freedom which isn't wholly defined by prevailing norms. It involves dark spheres of experience which few people dare to tread.

Of course, that is a very vague definition, as "the box" and conventions change depending on the time and place. Once upon a time, Buddha with his teaching of annata and dependant origination was "goth" if you look at it in a certain way.

Agreed...

I wish they would ban them a t City again... I honestly don't really know why they let them back in after the first time they banned them :confused:

oh, they are still banned actually. blame the newer members of security and such that didn't know about that though. Aparently someone pointed it out to them that its still written on the wall clear as day when you walk in the door, and they (at least I havn't seen them) aren't allowed in the club anymore.

Difference between glow sticks and light sticks.

Is NONE. I'm goth, I hate light, ban it all.

Also FUCK THAT FUCKING GREEN ASS LASER THAT SHINES IN MY EYES ALL THE TIME WHEN FACING THE DJ BOOTH ON THE DANCE FLOOR! Someone PLEASE go grab it, rip it off the cord, run to the other side of the dance floor, and toss it out of the window into the dumpster below. Then go park your car next to it to piss on it, then set the dumpster on fire (douse it in gasoline first since it's covered in piss, need an active combustible agent to get it burning).

Bring back the strobe for when the "song gets heavier" at least because that was less annoying. That's why it works as a goth club because Mike is too cheap to buy a decent lighting system for the place. "Ah fuck it lets just make it a goth cub so I can save just a little more money to spend on a plain ticket to Shri Lanka to buy a 12 year old boy, '5 dolla, me love you long time Mr. Higgins'".

Fuck I need to cut down on the sugar.

Okay, one I was a hilarious little shit back then (I still am, but I was then too.) Two, I have fond a solution to this question and posted it here.

It was 2009 back then buddy, it's okay you get a pass, we were all cringe.

I was never cringe, and I really haven't changed much since I was 14.  I've always made that a point to try to remain as true to myself as I can.

I will admit to some of my views having changed slightly, but those are very few and I acknowledge that I'm a shittier person now because of that.

I thought we agreed goths were the ones that sacked Rome back in the day


I mean the original ones sure.  However language evolves over time and terms get repurposed.  For example check out: https://ideas.ted.com/20-words-that-once-meant-something-very-different/  Gothic was used to refer to the original Germanic tribes, then a type of architecture, then literature, and then music in the 70s.  I suppose it still means all that depending on the context it's used in.

I'm also pretty sure all of the original goths are dead anyway (how very goth of them) and I doubt they'd mind us using the term.

But this is something that's been said for at least 20 years, and possibly existed for 20 years before I heard it back then.

Now get off my lawn.

Lol looks like my flippant comment hit a sore spot. I'm well aware of all this, I quite like goth cultures in all forms. Gothic architecture is beautiful.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.

    • I'm glad  that yesterday's day at work is long gone now. There was a very strong unusual energy that I felt, and couldn't get done with the day fast enough. It wasn't  the job at all. I just felt like I really needed to keep my mouth shut, to keep me from getting in situation(s) that probably wouldn't have ended well for me.  
    • You can trust anyone you want.  The only question is whether or not they're deserving of that trust. No risk = no reward.  As such you have to let yourself be vulnerable sometimes and realize that all people will let you down eventually whether it's intentional or not.  The frequency that it happens is what's important.
    • Sorry, I don't check this as often as I should. Anyway document everything (although it sounds like @Trene4000already has been from her post.) It's okay to cry and break down, but not in front of them.  Never give them the satisfaction of seeing you crack.  If anything I'd go out of my way to piss them off, but I don't like being that guy either (and as such I'm not very good at it, except sometimes when I'm not intending to be.) I try to only help those whom deserve it, but that's often hard to judge.  Seeing how someone treats other people is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they're worthy.  Sociopathic narcissistic asshats are very much not worthy. I hope things are going well for you guys.
