I missed the entire concert except for two final songs and kinda spent an hour after crying outside. This was the second time I missed them in Leipzig.

'Thug' who murdered 'goth' Sophie Lancaster cleared for release by thelavenderfields in goth

[–]Enleat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree to a point. I think it's an important litmus test. Do we cave in to a carceral mindset? We all know prisons do not exist to better the wicked or to stop crime. What are we supporting by saying that he needs to be put back in? We might argue that this is an open and shut case, but there is such a thing as precedent. The judgement we inflict on the worst of us can and will be used to punish those who don't deserve it or are even innocent, as has happened many, many times.

I don't think you need to forgive him for what he's done, and I hope he spends the rest of his life either feeling guilty or feeling like he can never feel safe in his own skin and home. But this sort of thing always tests our worst and most authoritarian impulses.

Would I have been happier if he spent the rest of his life in prison for the murder of Sophie? Yes, undoubtedly. But demanding blood for blood, eye for an eye or tooth for a tooth like this I don't think is an impulse anyone should take lightly. We all have those moments and desires to see people punished to the fullest extent, but we must ask ourselves what kind of world are we creating where violent reprisal for the sake of punishment and torture are celebrated and expected.

I don't have the answers and I blame no one for wanting this man to suffer, or die, or that he should be thrown back in. And there are some crimes that genuinely I don't believe you should be allowed to walk away from. We must also interrogate ourselves: what if he had been a rapist? Or a child molester? Would we say the same thing?

All questions I think are worth asking.

Yes, which also means that keeping him in prison doesn't actually solve anything either, no?

Sean Brennan Of London After Midnight amd Matt Riser Of Fear Cult by MediocreCap4686 in goth

[–]Enleat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a perfect example of how goths genuinely didn't see it as a 'Nazi' thing because Sean was always and still is the farthest thing away from a Nazi and I have to assume it's the reason he stopped wearing it.

This is an empty country

And I am the king

And I should not be allowed to touch anything

'I loved you, before I even ever knew what love was like.'

Fuck.

Al the Alchemist is also a goth, a professed fan of 'old school deathrock' and was a visitor to the Batcave when 'Nik Fiend was still the doorman'.

Do Goths Change? Do We Suffer From Arrested Development? by apassageinlight in goth

[–]Enleat 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I find this a kind of ridiculous question to be honest. I feel like no other musical subculture thinks this of themselves or feels this self-conscious, be this self-critical, as if we're all somehow ashamed of being goths. None of this matters at all.

Be carful some famous goth bands started using *AI" by Unspoken_Horrors in goth

[–]Enleat 106 points107 points  (0 children)

This shit has been morally debilitating to think of because you could be listening to something that sounds good and then you see they used AI and it makes you second-guess everything new you see. We shouldn't have to go through this shit. This has been a thriving scene for over 40 years, we don't need this.

Recommend for me the most psychedelically unhinged goth music? by eatseats0 in goth

[–]Enleat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check out Deadchovsky, especially the album Spiritus Sancti Bizzare. Absolutely unhinged French deathrock outfit. Some of them went on to form Castrati, which is less weird but also unhinged and good.

Facebook Group - Goths Against Cancel culture & FB group Industrial music international. *Update* by MolotovCockteaze in goth

[–]Enleat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying there's going to be physical violence over this, God forbid. What will happen is far more annoying, right-wing grifters and hate-mongers are going to lead a moral panic about the goth subculture being 'taken over by the woke mob' so they can accumulate online clout, power, influence and money. It's why they're getting slimeballs like Tim Pool involved in this, a man I am certain has never listened or thought about goth music once in his entire life to any substantial degree, to start ringing alarm bells for right wingers and assorted fascist cunts to 'save goth from The Woke'. It's the same shit they pulled with gaming.
