But to provide you with a better explanation, we decided to take a look at the Instagram account ‘Gothik Soul’ and the memes it shares. From friendships to dating, work, and beyond — they perfectly portray how the world looks when you view it through this group’s lens. More info: Instagram “Since coalescing over four decades ago, it’s constantly reinvented itself while also maintaining a spectacular somberness that continues to entice new adherents. It encompasses so many people, from original fans of The Cure since ‘79, to teenagers emerging right now with love for bands like Vision Video or Lebanon Hanover.” “My audience on The Blogging Goth particularly enjoys the most current, cutting-edge memes. Beyond that, people should let go of the idea that goths are violence-loving, devil-worshipping misanthropes who consume joy and excrete sadness. Sure, some of us may lean into that image, but in reality, goth is a subculture that attracts people from all walks of life,” Tim Sinister says. “Hand-in-hand with that, people need to stop sexualizing goth women — it’s an endemic online problem that reduces complex individuals to unreal fantasies and is unfair,” he adds. “We have a rare freedom, I always say—goths can listen to any music they want at all beyond the goth genre, but others seem scared of what might happen if they listen to goth music—the only real risk is that they love it, and fall into our spooky scene!” Hopefully, these memes will bridge the gap!
