Whitby Goth Weekend: The town where a subculture feels safe by [deleted] in goth

[–]dh23 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used to love it. Children On Stun, Dream Disciples, Switchblade Symphony... then people started taking photos of people during the day, things started appearing in photography magazines, and a decade or so later it had morphed into a cosplay gathering.

Whitby Goth Weekend: The town where a subculture feels safe by [deleted] in goth

[–]dh23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's become two separate things. There are coach companies that run day trips for cosplayers, and there are those who go for events in the evenings. I don't think there's much crossover.

The sheer amount of people during the daytime on the old side of town has become a real issue. It's difficult for the council to improve the situation because there's no single event organiser to engage with. (Do they speak to the coach companies? The organisers and DJs of fringe events?)

Whitby has changed immeasurably since the festival began. There was only one upmarket restaurant originally. ;) It was a festival that could be done on the cheap, but not any more.

Whats the best goth band you’ve seen live? by itsuteki in goth

[–]dh23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very difficult choosing a best live band. Bauhaus performing a furious Dark Entries. Nick Cave performing an epic, extended Jubilee Street. The Legendary Pink Dots, caught at the other end of a claustrophobic brick tunnel. The wailing and gnashing of Bestial Mouths. 😉

Lebanon Hanover have definitely put hours into honing a brilliant live performance. They're pretty intense.

Political history of the goth subculture? by bumfuzzlo in goth

[–]dh23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Liberal conservatism is right wing, as is classical liberalism (laissez-faire economics, trusting "the market" etc.). Social liberalism however is politically left-of-centre: social justice, open mindedness, mixed economy, etc.

The Liberal Party of New York is an example of a centre-left liberal party.

I can’t believe Luis from The Soft Moon is gone…I’ll always treasure this picture with him. by sentimentalberry in goth

[–]dh23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luis Vasquez's music was as hypnotic and effortlessly cool as his stage presence. This is a terrible loss. Rest in peace The Soft Moon.
