Goofy v. Goth
Simply put, there are too many Goths today that have openly confused Halloween costumes and makeup for Goth style.
GATHERING STEAM
After 20 years in the local Goth scene here in San Diego, I began to notice some of my friends exploring a new (to me) subculture called “Steampunk.†My own firsthand experience was attending San Diego’s first Steampunk convention last year: The Gaslight Gathering Steampunk and Victoriana Convention. Although Steampunk tends to browns, brass and bowlers – black is always in fashion and people had clearly adapted some of the Gothic attire to this alternate subculture.

Large, Dark & Happy: My Journey to Realizing I Was Goth
Despite popular opinion, we don’t come out of the womb snapping at the bright light with newborn vampire teeth. There is usually a shedding of skin if you will. A point in time where you dress in black and don’t look back. Each has their own reason for their metamorphosis, their own shaping or revelation, the gleeful knowledge that we aren’t buying what society as a whole is selling… Only what Hot Topic is. (Quit hissing, it’s a joke.)
