NOTE : although punkgoth/ Victorian were the first (and arguably purest) form of gothic fashion, for the purpose of this video I have included all sorts of styles one might see worn in the global Goth community.

You put scene under emo fashion. But scene is actually a lot different.

I also included steam punk/cyber under “goth” fashion even though they aren’t necessarily “goth”. Some people who enjoy gothic rock also enjoy bright dreadlocks and neon clothes. Similarly some people who enjoy emo music also like accessories/hairstyles associated with the “ scene” style. My intention is to contrast different styles worn by people within the goth and emo subcultures. I am not trying to define the official parameters of emo or goth fashion from an academic point of view.

Excellent job on teh video. Nice to see a legit and unbiased and actually EDUCATIONAL video. Though I didnt care for the part where it said that teenagers were "mallgoths" because thats stereotyping. Yes a huge majority are those annnoying mallgoth hot topic poseurs but what about teh real ones? Im a teenager and Bauhaus and Specimen are my favorite bands. I also like Sisters of Mercy, The Cure, Rosetta Stone etc. It seems to have left out the fact taht not all teens are poseurs.

I'm in the younger range of the gothic age group. I may only be 12 years old, but I can see more of the beauty and grace of the gothic style, as well as the beautiful aspect of the art style in which it revolves around, instead of how most people my age view it, as a "dark stereotype for angsty teens", which really upsets me, because there is so much more to goth than what most people see.

me parece que el gothic tiene mas trasendecia y de cierta manera mas cultura detras de la palabra gothic hay mucho que hablar pero respecto al genero musical me gustan los dos estilos asi como me gusta tmb el rock, alternative y variedad de generos y en cuanto la vestimenta me encanta mucho el estilo gothic, pero tmb me encantan las chicas emo XD con sus pantalones pegaditos pero los weyes si ven del nabo. Bueno mi gurpo favorito es HIM saludos

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VID!! i know some people who would call the girl at 4:36 goth...and that goth family picture, is sorta creepy. i live in a small town, and never see that. i've actually never seen a hardcore 'goth' in my life. though, i know that they are SO MUCH more than that. i've wanted to be emo and goth... right now i'm loving the goth scene...

THE CURE!!!! YES FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS REAL GOTH ROCK :D

[dadandevasing]

@erickamos666 YES! THANK YOU! All my friends shop at Hot Topic, which I'm sure you know gets a lot of hate, but we love the freaky styles and pop culture. =) We know how to stand out ;D

[erickamos666]

@dadandevasing I get you, some ppl think that just cuz someone shops at a mall for goth cloths makes them a "mall goth" thats stupid because sometimes there just isnt any other gothic store around. Just as long as one is true with the expressions and lifestyle then whats the big deal?
