Intro was made with random shots I filmed back in 2016 at psytrance festivals like the Modem and the Master of Puppets. Also, I will be on vacation for the most part of September so next video probably won't be up before early October since I won't have my computer to edit anything, but I'll be filming stuff for sure. :)

You started your video with that impressionable scene taken from the Derek Jarman independent film classic "Caravaggio" (UK 1986), which is a favorite of mine. Do you know other films directed by him(?) -- like his homoerotic debut "Sebastiane" (UK 1976), which features exclusively Latin dialogues or the following one titled "Jubilee" (UK 1978), which is to me the best 'document' of the British Punk scene from the mid-to late 1970s -- starring Pamela Rooke, known as Jordan, the sales assistant of the infamous Vivienne Westwood boutique "Sex" (1974 - 1976), Toyah Willcox, the Post-Punk/New Wave singer, Stuart Leslie Goddard, better known as Adam Ant -- of the Punk/New Romantic band Adam and the Ants -- and last but not least Jayne a.k.a. Wayne County, the transgender singer of Wayne County and the Electric Chairs, which was also a legendary Punk (Rock) band. Her/his first band was named Queen Elizabeth, a Proto-Punk band formed in NYC in 1972. I was part of the first wave of the so-called Rave scene, which started around 1989, after the *second summer of love* in 1988 with its Acid House boom/illegal Acid House parties, which were the precursor to raves. You'll find some examples for those illegal UK raves back then in 1989/1990 on youtube(!)

Good analysis and research. Refreshing.

My dear --- the MOD(ernist) youth movement started in the late 1950's, when in London alternative youth became interested in MODern Jazz. It developed into the 1960's and became popular because of the rivalry with the British Rocker(s) scene, which ended up in some physical conflicts between both groups. Around the mid-sixties the Mod scene divided into the so-called Hard Mods, which were forerunners of the (original) Skinheads of the late sixties - and those you described in your video. Some of them mixed up with the British Psychedelia scene, which started around 1966.

She is and always has been a queen! I saw her play more times than I can count! No one can compare to her! Great videos. 🖤

I like your videos <3

This was a neat analysis video. Siouxsie definitely had a very unique and striking style and though she didn't want to be tied down to the goth scene (which to be fair, her band only ever did one full-on goth album -"Juju", they moved on from it after occasionally doing a goth song or two - mainly in Tinderbox-), it's not surprising that she became an inspiration for the 80s goth look that others took inspiration from, she was just that striking. Regardless, it's clear that she's an alternative icon for sure and she really did carve out a legacy that will never be forgotten.

We didn't talk about "all genders" in the 80s, there were men and women. It wasn't before 2015 the language was changed to suit the minority that want to erase the description "woman" from law (This is not happening to the description "man"). Siouxsie wasn't interested in the goth label (she wasn't the only one), still it's forced on her.

What did she say ?

6:41 I’m so sorry if this is rude, but I am genuinely just curious and want to fully understand what everything you’re saying, but what did you say here? The part where you say “but it also draws inspiration from the ___” I rlly hope this is not rue I just wanna know th facts at the fullest extent! AMAZING video and I’m definitely subscribing 🙏🙏🩵🩵🩵

I really love these introspective videos you've been putting out!!!

My queen

You've got some awesome footage here :) - the replicated split screen effect is a nice touch!

Yeaaah, so cool!

Siouxsie and the Banshees were first band i ever saw live age 13 in 1978 about a month before the Scream came out.

Banshees are mythical creatures from Ireland 🇮🇪...

SIOUXSIE/BANSHEES HAVE NEVER HAD A THING TO DO WITH GOTH EVER ITS ONLY CONFUSED PEOPLE THAT SHE HAS

This is such a lovely friendly reminder video you just made. I really enjoyed watching it, thank you for sharing your feelings so far. I am also really enjoying the feeling of hugging warm air of the summer, which makes everything softer these days. And you know what you say about letting yourself float through life, I would also take that literally. I did not realize until last year when I spent so much time by the water (rivers, lakes, ocean) swimming and floating that it also lightened my heart and mind a lot. Looking forward to your next vlog <3

This is the time this is the moment to revisit the past and remember. Think about it and exhaust every memory. Write down names write down experiences, , crinkle the paper and light it on fire. Blow the ashes out your window and say "it's over " . I know way too many people who don't want to address their wounds and they are now in their 80's .

Yes dive girl . Leave no stone unturned . It's not touching the wound again and again, it's checking on it and dressing it and cleaning it . Guided hypnosis with small dose shrooms tea can help. Sound baths, meditation, journaling.

Imela, this was so refreshingly candid and relatable 💜. I feel like there's such a lot to be said around the stubborn hold and sway of past experiences and how these might shape and re-shape our sense of self in the present. It's making me think back to an article (at least, I think it was an article?!) which I read some time ago about the cathartic-healing-creative potential of actively reclaiming/ re-configuring the narrative of any one past event in the place of merely re-visiting and reinforcing the wounds residing there by re-inhabiting, somehow, the set recollected mindset of that time. Alas, I suppose it's something far, far easier said than done, but perhaps still a valuable exercise consisting of reflection and self-care combined....

💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖💖❤️❤️

So proud of you ! Thank you for sharing that with us and I am looking forward to your future vlogs about any topic you care about. Whats I love is the way you dive into your topics of interest with so much dedication and I really enjoyed your videos so far. Keep going and doing what you like and sharing it with us ❤

Imela, It's good to see you again. Taking care of yourself can be hard, I'm glad you decided to address it. I am sorry you feel chronically lonely. I know what that's like. I live in the U.S. but if you would be interested we could become "pen" email pals. I can't wait to see what you share and who you become. You're doing great now it seems and I encourage you to stay on whatever meds your prescriber recommends. I have a friend who is now a Psychiatrist and I asked him once what his biggest challenge was with his clients, he doesn't like to speak about his work but he said "med compliance" and I could tell it pained him. Anyway ,sorry for the rambling, I think I'm just excited. I suppose I'll leave it there for now.

still figuring out and failing at capturing the audio, should be better in the next one :p

I hope you will came back to yt, I love your content

Love that you’ve done your fashionista homework!📚

I also am an avid reader of EDIE. Love all videos about her…SAD GIRL SAW IT IN HER EYES

Edie was definitely a beautiful woman. In distress….From the start from her family beginning. Also once joining the Factory the drugs were aplenty. I also admired her style. A shame she passed so young. RIP my luv and fashionista!all you wanted was love” ❤️🫶🏼🕊️🕊️🕊️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🕊️🕊️🕊️Heard the story more than once. Ps. Love your Parisian accent…..

The STYE of SIOUXISE

Click-bait title, Siouxsie Sioux was the ultimate Icon period, be it fashion be it musical style/definition of rockn’roll expanded and challenged by a woman who wasn’t afraid of the word “feminist” even as cultural forces sought and seek to make the word unattractive, and therefore diminish it’s power. Those who fear feminism the word the meaning want you to think of subhuman females with unshaven legs and armpits, dirty women with no underwear under their Levi’s going commando 24/7 and burning their bras like a butch lesbian who wants to walk around shirtless (actually Siouxsie did walk around shirtless in her early formative years, how absolutely daring and Iggy Pop of her to perform with her breast bared. For Iggy it said “I’m a Pharaoh”, for Siouxsie it said “I am free, as a woman, to do what I will exactly as a Pharaoh would, as I enchant you with my voice, and just as a Femme Pharaoh I will bare my beautiful chest and you can’t stop me”). They tried, they beat her up in France for it, while wearing a swastika armband out of irony to piss off the old men, she had some anger issues with old men after her and her friend were assaulted by an old man when they were nine and the police and parents that were old men and women did nothing and buried it, she had a right to work those issues out as she saw fit, because being female, she received no justice or even acknowledgment just silent shame. If anyone had a right as an angry young woman to walk in public in Paris baring her breasts and wearing an armband of hate, it was Siouxsie with her history taken into context. But it wasn’t lost on her intelligence that the swastika had a context that celebrated the very thing she hated. So she wore a shirt with a large Star of David not ironically, not in anger, but in apology of her actions:salting deep profound wounds with a brutal tragic history. She wore the Star in penance, in sorrow, in love and her songs reflected that. Siouxsie was not a fashionista of the 80’s, she was an Icon of from the late-70’s into the millennium and beyond her styles will continue on in pop culture for as long and far into the future as she is remembered.

Goff became a joke. And Siouxsie dropped her iconic image in favour of Louise Brookes.

I'm very intressted in Vampires ever since i was younger, this Video is such great Video <3

loved this! it makes me happy to know young people are taking an interest in it from the dark and feminine perspective again

love your vids!

Much prefer the 80s goth style,but then again I am nearly 60.And your look very much reminds me of the goth girls I knew from the 80s.Someone mentioned feminine architype's,I would put Nico as one,she I think maybe the first.

After watching this, I managed to find an open access dissertation on my uni library catalogue titled 'Psychedelic style and embodiment in psytrance', which I admit I'm feeling quite compelled to now pin to my eShelf!

So cool! Glad you're back <3

Omg you look so cuuute ❤i would like to go to dnb party with u😊 let me know when you're round Bern😊

loving this 🤝

I'm happy to see that you're back! I enjoyed this piece, they are worlds I have not experienced. Thanks for letting me vicariously "live" it through you. I look forward to more of your work.

I grew up in the 70s I loved her(still do) she was a force for women in the punk era

Its interesting to begin to see what generations that were not there at all are beginning to think about a period that I lived through. Like that line about the 80's being an era of positivity or something like that. That certainly was not the way that it felt from the alternative trenches. I wonder what responsibility those of us that were there have to set records straight.

Was that "Nomcore"? That you Said about 1/3 in? In reference to the Mods?

Siouxsie is an icon an image from the past and an image from the future!

PS I'm from England......I could listen to you all night <3

Siouxsie is amazing- great great study. Thank you. Keep up the good work!!

Stye?
