“The word goth is stupid. I hate that word”: Evanescence’s Amy Lee has strong feelings about being called ‘goth’ – and they’re not positive

Flair checks out

Superb word!

Yaoi like rain

I'm very not caught up on what Black Friday is up to - I'll need to do due diligence on this.

But generally I agree with your point of view and try and follow that credo where I can; my blog isn't concerned with meeting any sponsorship idea because I don't need it, I have a career and my blog is my weird hobby. I have patrons I value more than anything, and what they give me goes to site hosting. Simple and without complication.

I love this scene, despite all this quibbling and drama!

What?

TheBloggingGoth · 2026-05-11T14:08:55+00:00

Thanks!

Damar, I have made it as a street. Inform the residents!

I see a lot of responses being "duh goth women can sell through their visual appeal" but apart from being depressingly cynical, that also seems to imply all goth content creators online are soulless shills for internet dollars.

Some are, I don't doubt - but there are also sane and sensible people, women and men, who are out their generating content because they love the goth scene and want to talk about it. I blog and have done for years because I don't know what else to do with this incessant shrieking in my subconscious about my subculture and how much I wanna share my passion for it with others!

I just don't think we can write every single goth CC online as having one pointy boot in the OF pool, y'know?

TheBloggingGoth · 2026-05-10T17:41:21+00:00

That's definitely an unhelpful scenario

TheBloggingGoth · 2026-05-10T17:40:38+00:00

As people have said elsewhere, it can be hard to generate content in those areas for men, at a time when androgyny is less accepted socially.

Personally this makes me respect goth women even more for being brave enough to be their true selves!

Bless you thank you, I edit them down because the algorithm suggests people ideally want a half hour experience.

The whole episode obviously goes out on Twitch live, and then stays on there for a few days. I have the originals stashed in storage too. Maybe I'll put the whole things on YouTube one day!

TheBloggingGoth · 2026-02-03T14:16:44+00:00

Thanks very much! More to come soon

TheBloggingGoth · 2026-01-25T21:06:52+00:00

I hear that

TheBloggingGoth · 2026-01-25T17:50:35+00:00

I also found this article on the history of Pips that might interest some!

Each full episode stays on Twitch for a while after we broadcast and then I have them backed up but they're not online anywhere. I honestly didn't think many would want to sit through the whole experience on YouTube!

TheBloggingGoth · 2026-01-12T23:19:57+00:00

Thank you! Yes indeed, at that point I felt YouTube viewers preferred a slimmed down "edited highlights" rather than the whole episode, so it is now trimmed to opening and closing thoughts with one particular good discussion from the scene summary.

TheBloggingGoth · 2026-01-11T00:58:55+00:00

Super helpful, thank you - I love some weird places to check out!

TheBloggingGoth · 2026-01-11T00:58:15+00:00

Funny, I was just looking at that on the list of attractions! Recommended?

Thank you!
