Why aren’t goth nights and goth related activities reviewed or advertised in The Coast? Grrrrr.

Has anyone ever seen a 60 year goth? A granny goth? Maybe once you hit thirty, your veins are sliced open by a Marilyn Manson CD and your essence is sucked out with an Electrolux.Anyway, OP, why not set up your own weekly instead of inflicting the rest of us with tips on how to suckle the black-lipsticked breast of depression and angst?
wow lilac- you’re a hippy earth mother AND a goth? how is that even possible?
also ps isn’t a big part of goth about being depressed and alienated because ‘no one understands you’? doesn’t being ‘excluded’ from the coast sort of give all sorts of lovely fodder for bad poetry or something?
pps anyone else think it’d be hilarious to get some goth kids and some emo kids in a room and make them battle?
Watch out for the flying crucifixes and Chuck Taylors then.
Some battle that’d be. One side crying about how nobody understands them, and the other side crying about how they’re misunderstood. I imagine it like the Crusades, only with more salty rivers of mascara and less religious fervor.
Aw, it’s nothing some Paxil won’t cure. At this stage of my life, youthful angst expressed by black lipstick and vampires strikes me as a self-indulgent waste of fucking time. Goddamn you, Anne Rice!
well isn’t proper eyeliner application a neccessary skill for any 15 year old male??I’m always baffled by the girls who think that’s attractive.I picture this battle as an epic conflict between huge whiners, both wanting to lose as it will give them more fodder for their dark poetry reading sessions in the graveyard, clustered around black candles while they cry tears of misunderstood angst and cut themselves with a lady bic.
Or who’s the most non-conformist.I’m such a non-conformist, I’m going to conform just to show what a non-conformist I truly am… now where did I leave that iphone?
as long as you try to bring down the man qwerty…as long as you try to bring down the man…
I’m more than trying, hedgy… i’m BECOMING the man, then i’m gonna take MYSELF down, baby.now if you’ll excuse me, that sushi boat isn’t going to eat itself.
Nazi conformist cheerleaders. You’d be happy if I were dead and the worms were eating my face.
Wow, you guys really need to find out what goth is, since you obviously haven’t a clue. Stop paying attention to the stereotype and actually find out what’s involved in this subculture. You may be surprised how many goths you actually know, because you know what, we don’t all dress like vampires and walk around all mopey and depressed.To the OP, if you know of any goth events that aren’t getting advertised, maybe you could let the event organizers know that the word isn’t getting out there. A few years back the Marquee used to have a goth night, but it fizzled out. The goth scene here is just too tiny to support any amount of events. They’re few and far between. We even had a gothic society, but since I can’t find anything on it anymore, I’m thinking it must’ve died out, too.
Well said, ghost. I know goth-type people, and they’re actually nothing like the sterotype mentioned in previous comments.Lilac: go on Facebook and look up “Masq” (if you haven’t heard of it already). It’s a fairly new event held at the Bus Stop Theatre once a month, although I believe the August even is being held at the North Street Church (green church on the corner of Fuller and North). It’s been going on now since May, and apparently has been a hit so far.
