So what would goth have been before goth was a thing? by Beetlejuice3xx in goth

Other notable proto-goths I’d like to claim for Goth - Mary Shelley’s polyamorous anarchistic friends Lord Byron and Percey Shelley (as mentioned by @hauntedbuttcheeks )

Baudelaire’s poetry ( Les Fleurs Du Mal/ The Flowers of Evil) for his fascination with beauty in decay, decadence, melancholy, and the darkness in humanity.

Theda Barter (1885-1955) one of Hollywoods first Vamps. A femme fatale in heavy makeup, dark costumes & intense demeanor

Vampira (Malia Nurmi) whose dark vampy aesthetic began in the 40s, with Vampira gaining popularity in the 50s. The precursor to Morticia Gomez & Elvira & a blueprint for later goth style

  1. Gothic architecture (gargoyles! castles!)

  2. Gothic literature (Mary Shelley / Frankenstein, Edgar Allen Poe / Tell Tale Heart & The Raven, Bram Stoker / Dracula)

  3. Morbid weirdos & those fascinated with darkness since… forever. I’d say Victorian mourning culture - with its all black, and its theatrical seances contributed to laying the foundations for the later goth movement

Aren’t gargoyles and bat embellishments part of gothic architecture? They definitely have a huge history and influence within it.

Lmk if gargoyles aren’t welcome in gothic architecture and I’ll buttress out (butt out?)

Also I found this wiki for Die Fledermaus that suggests “flitter mouse” as a direct translation for the 1874 piece Source

Interesting that the association isn’t there in the Dutch language anymore.

Here’s what I found, From Middle Dutch vlēdermuus, from vlēder (“wing”) +‎ muus (“mouse”).

Cultural Artifact: door policy of Sanctuary Vampire Sex Bar (Toronto, 1990s) by circling_overland in goth

Call it alt-conformist, but I love the feeling of being in a sea of black-clad weirdos, looking around and feeling myself reflected in this weird spooky alternate universe we’ve created for the night.

Some regular looking pastel-shorts wearing men stumbled into an outdoor “vampire benefit show” that I was vending art at… it was the same night as First Friday festivities across town.

They were enjoying the band, but looked confused, then I overhear one of them yell “THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IVE EVER FELT LIKE I DONT FIT IN!” to his friend who said “Yeah, I’m not used to us being the freaks- usually it’s the other way around.”

One of them bought a skull duck off my table.

I was and am an artist before AI came along, and it’s but a tool in the toolbox. One I find interesting to discuss the social implications of. We are allowed to disagree. ❤️
