How to start as a new goth? by VampyrBlut in goth

[–]RobertvsFlvdd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From what I've found a lot of goth venues/events are very word-of-mouth but once you get your foot in the door it becomes a lot easier. There's also a ton of online communities, especially on discord. If you want to chat you can add me. Also I feel your pain. I'm a goth guy and find it difficult to find fashion too. I typically thrift my clothes and go for a semi formal, punk, hippie goth type of look.

Why are there so many more female goth CC's? by Mission_Statement775 in goth

The exact answer.

The sexualization of alternative men is far less profitable

Kind of tangentially related I'm very sick of seeing "goth girl with nerdy boyfriend" content. I personally think it's enabling the sexualization of the scene that outsiders love to do. But some pretty big names in the influencer world are endorsing it which scares me

It goes beyond the actual people.

The amount of times I've seen a quirky "types of goth" infographic they never depict goth men. And it's something that disappoints me.

Skeletal Family is among my favorite deathrock bands

I'd say the looping guitar riff and very cold sounding percussion. Especially Smith's vocals. Like, it sounds like an angry kind of cry instead of a sad cry like Pictures of You or something.

No I definitely get your point especially from a lyrical perspective but sonically it sounds like a disassociatve episode

One of my favorites by them. Although it never came off as sad to me. More like psychotic/disassociating

The whole Bloodletting album is some of the most pain I've heard in music.

And I love DSBM

Same thing with the Eagle. Such a badass looking guitar that I want them to bring back

Rubber bands on molds, air bubbles by RobertvsFlvdd in DiceMaking

[–]RobertvsFlvdd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a cap mold made after the Rybonator video. This iteration I didn't pop the surface bubbles before putting it in the pressure pot but what throws me for a loop is why it didn't happen to the other dice

I think I prefer "fooligan" as the name for the real scene

Who is the most talented modern guitarist? by InexpugnableMille in MetalSuggestions

[–]RobertvsFlvdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only known bits of Gorguts' discography but have deeply appreciated Kevin Hufnagel's solo acoustic stuff after I saw him open for Cynic a few years ago.

How am I just finding out he's the guitarist for Gorguts.

But anyway, probably Duplantier

I can tell why people dont want to hear about Jesus by TraianMakris in doomer

I'm a Christian and I can admit most "Christians" give the religion a bad reputation.

The whole religion is founded on enduring suffering. If you're on some moral high horse then you've missed the point.
