Question for elder goths (especially for these who were goth before the 2000s)

Did you guys actually give a shit about gothic and romanticism art movements. Cuz I give a shit and I kinda want every goth to also care at least a little bit and idk if I’m in the wrong here or not.

Witches market advice needed

My wife and I are elder Goths, or midlife... We have recently started a business doing flea markets, festivals, fairs, and conventions we do customize laser engraving, 3D printing, foiling, embossing, just about any customization that can be done to leather plastic or paper. With our first witches market coming up, I was hoping for some input on some of the things we've been making for the upcoming show. The last one is a mirror with the backing thinned so light can show through.

My vampire/ romantic goth apartment

Hello guys, I wanted to show you my apartment. It’s not finished yet but I’m really proud how it turned out this far :) It’s heavily vampire/romantic goth influenced!

Is Robert Smith's gothic look of 1984-1985 a masculine version of Siouxsie's from late1980 early 1981 ?

Fact checking. Chronologically , Simon Gallup was actually the first Cure member in late 1981-1982 to copy or emulate the Siouxsie 1980 "Israel single" promotional look when Simon dressed in black leather with black leather knee shoes and spiky hair and a bit of black koln make up down his eyelids. Robert Smith let his hair grow long like Siouxsie's during the end of the Pornography tour in May 1982. Robert cut them short for the Let's Go 2 Bed video. It is only in 1984 that Robert embraced the Siouxsie 1980-1981 look with haircut and the same Siouxsie blood red lipsstick. His look became complete in 1985 when he put heavy black make-up entierely on his eyelids and appeared as a masculine Siouxsie version.

Siouxsie was already backcombing her hair in 1979 with dark heavy make-up. https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/photo-d%27actualit%C3%A9/siouxsie-sioux-singer-with-british-punk-band-photo-dactualit%C3%A9/123276256

Nick Cave had still short hair in April 1991 when the Birthday Party shot their 1st video. https://youtu.be/3WO7_Zn_iKU?is=x1lFERG44tVI9yuW

Daniel Ash didn't have backcombed hair in 1981: he had still a rockabilly type of hair in 1981.

Hi! 👋

Looking to see if anyone can recommend sites that I can get corporate goth clothes? Everywhere I look goth and alternative clothing seems to cost a crazy amount and I'm looking for clothes I can wear in office.

Goth girl who’s terrible at makeup – please help a beginner 🖤

I love the dark aesthetic but every time I try to do my makeup it ends up looking messy, uneven, or just… not how I imagined it.
I’d really appreciate any advice from other goth/alt girls (or anyone who’s good at this stuff) on beginner-friendly products, techniques, or simple routines that actually work for a dark/goth look.
Thanks in advance 🖤
