Hi! Im a 28 year old girl from sweden and ive been into goth for a couple of years. actually most of my Life i liked dark things even Before i knew that goth existed but im still learning. i was wondering if there's any out there who share my interest. I Think it's one of my special interests actually. Anyone here who wanna be friends. i never meet a goth so it would be fun to talk to some one who likes such things also.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Hi just wanted to say hi and good for you - I like the goths and find them to generally to be nice people. I'm not one myself though I love the cloths and attitude (I get that it's more than appearance). My hubby and I used to like going to goth clubs before marriage - though never together for some odd reason.

I stand out enough already as a pagan so I'm just trying to keep my head low as I'm a 31 yr old mum with two little ones. One day I might be brave enough to just be me but as I still get other parents staring at my pentacle like I'm going to eat their kids I will play nice.

I tend to just be and do my own thing so I guess that makes me an eclectic pagan though I've looked into modern druidary/Wiccan/voudoo/reclaiming and so on. What can I say the study of faith and mythology fascinates me. As to the magic yes I've tried it on and off over the years, always nervous to talk about it though cause you get some massive opinions given on the whole issue of faith and magic.

Recently attended a weekend Samhain gathering in Australia which was so out of my comfort zone with shared dorms and people all over the place. Turned out quite positive as people were happy to just let me be and join in when I wanted too. A very accepting group of unique individuals.

One of the people I met there is big into steam punk and I've got to admit his wardrobe was awesome. There was also a girl there who makes corsetry that's custom fitted - kicking myself I didn't think to ask for her details.

What about you? Is there a goth label that fits you best? Never really looked into the underlying ideologies or attitudes of the goth culture as much as the paganism.

Hi. Welcome to WP

I wouldnt really call myself a Goth, but I love goth music and some of the more "gothic" literature and films. Also drawn more to the macabre and dark side of things. Artwork, the way I decorate my house etc.

I guess im goth in everything but the look lol. I prefer earth tones or drab clothing rather than dressing in all black.

I don't like new goth music. It sounds like dance club music to me. That's probly because its for dance club goths lol. So I tend to stick to the classics.

Some of my faves are....
Joy Division
Bauhaus
Fields of the Nephilim
The Cure (first four albums only)
Gene Loves Jezebel
Virgin Prunes
Skinny Puppy (this satisfies both my goth and industrial cravings)
The Wake
The Sisters of Mercy
Alien Sex Fiend
45 Grave
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Christian Death
The Smiths
Some of these are Post Punk bands, but they laid the foundation for Goth.

I love the older movies too. especially Lugosi.
If you like silent films, check out Nosferatu or some of the old Lon Chaney Sr films.
The best thing about silent films is that you can play whatever music you want and not have to worry about the dialogue of the film
