[@nw11]

@@sourLoli LOL obviously gay.

[@chaiyan9656]

who else thinks this guy LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL??!

[@GothicSoulFlower]

I really enjoyed this reaction video. I don't know a lot about emo, so I liked that you explained it a bit. And your hair is ON POINT.

[@sweeneydeville598]

Gothic SoulFlower thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm glad I could educate you a bit on it

[@GothicSoulFlower]

+Nazzy TheCreepyKitten: Hi there! I see you. :D

[@LiisaLadouceur]

Thanks for reacting to my video. Appreciate the feedback!

[@VonGehenna]

do you give any reasoning as to why you included emo? I'm sure you didn't do it arbitrarily.

[@Jessinking]

is that sisters of mercy in the intro hell yeah

[@sweeneydeville598]

Jess in king yes it is:) Marian

[@trufflet]

Cute goth guy. ;) Came for the video. Stayed for the hair.

[@maxriver7992]

In a subculture where female fashion is at the forefront, you are a big inspiration to me! I love goth music, culture, history, etc. But as a young male I've been frustrated because It's so hard to find style inspirations, but now I've found one! Love your music, style, and new hair!

[@sweeneydeville598]

Max River thank you very much! I'm glad I can help!!!

[@catharsis7424]

I discovered your channel thanks to snowy lowther. I'll never thanks her enough for that, I loooove your videos :) I had exactly the same reaction for emo x)

[@sweeneydeville598]

Funeral Bat aww thank you very much I am glad you enjoy the videos! And Snowy is an amazing friend and person! :) haha I think many people share our reaction

[@simona845]

Love your makeup and your hairstyle here! First time watching a video of yours, quite entertaining :)

[@sweeneydeville598]

Simona Marinova thank you! Be sure to stay in tune for more

[@XotoPill]

I reacted the same to emo... :')

[@ThesleeplesswandererBlogspot6]

This is the first video I watch of you, you look lovely , I definitely share your reaction . From my experience and what I saw in the french Goth scene the Cyber goth came to light around 2005/2006 I loved the way some people rocked the style but never understood their musical taste !

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

I was actually there for the punk and the later movement through the Blitz kids/New Romantic/Goth transition. Remember Souixi was a Punk from the Bromley Contingent and much of the makeup can be traced directly to the beginning of the punk movement. There's a few photos on my Google Plus page (Courtesy of my good friend Derek Dunbar and Six who has a book "Punk is Dead" ) in which you can find all the photos which illustrate the makeup and the style of certain punks like Souixi and Cat Woman Sue who despite not maybe wanting the "Goth' lable were very influential in early Goth as well as punk.

[@sweeneydeville598]

Foxiepaws ACAnderson I am very well aware

[@nevermore3928]

I think we can all agree on the emo reaction.. lol

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

I would have to say that the Vampire started well before the 90's and this can be illustrated with Dave Vanian of the Damned and Bauhaus and as for Industrial I would check out early 80's Berlin and Einstürzenden Neubauten who are almost definitely at the forefront of the Industrial Goth scene again even if they, themselves may not be overenamoured by the title. I think you're right in that there's no clear lines in the early Goth as it transitions seamlessly from punk into what they called Trad Goth but the timeline goes pretty much right off with the jump to the 90's 'Vampire.

[@sweeneydeville598]

Foxiepaws ACAnderson as a theme revolving around the gothic scene I understand and agree with you, but as it's own diverse subgenre , it gained more popularity within the 90s

[@devindarkblade1568]

It's Michael the goth kid in real life... holy shit

[@CazuhLynn]

Gotta admit, I mainly watch these reaction videos to see you guys and girls freak out over the emo thing. Personally, I know a lot of goth people who were emo in their teen years, so I kinda see a sort of connection there. Not saying it's a branch of goth, but to me it's just something that might develop into goth for some people. I liked your reaction there, too. For a video I just watched because of the original you reacted to, I really liked your reaction video. So thumbs up. You earned it.

[@monikintin.3377]

I love how you freaked out on emo🤣! I live in SoCal and around early-mid 2000s Emos are everywhere with their whiny music🤣. Agree with you emo doesn’t belong to goth subculture.

[@e.blakopft4762]

New sub here, I love the fact of you doing an explanation and a perspective opinion after analyzing the styles. Argument were concrete and was a very enjoyable reaction as well :) keep the cool stuff, here's my support! and man, I'm a guy but, you're beautiful xD

[@sweeneydeville598]

E. Blakopft thank you very much:) I always find it good to analyse, have evidence to support then conclude:) I'm glad you have enjoyed the video! And cheers!!

[@darklyinclined5691]

The New Romantic bit troubles me. Having been around at the time, it wasn't really associated with Goth. Like Gothic Sunflower I thank you for the Emo education!

[@sweeneydeville598]

Darkly Inclined I understand completely why you would feel reluctant to include this as a branch of the goth term. Whilst I was unsure myself at first I can understand completely why this connection was made per say do to a lot of the glam style influence and adaptation of sound used in certain bands. Whilst New Romantic can be blurry within how associated it is. It's like many goth bands we know and grew up from the 80's never truly identified as goth themselves, creating a paradox haha. Glad I can help with emo

[@PaganBibliophile13]

One, I agree with everything you said in this video. Two, I absolutely adore your style, but especially your hair, and felt the need to tell you that.

[@sweeneydeville598]

PaganBibliophile13 thank you very much:)

[@alyssamckenzie7714]

I really enjoy and appreciate that you explained for each style and era of goth! Very well thought out :)

[@r3ik0n]

nice one ; ) another gothtuber I discovered over this reaction! rock on this way!

[@davidhumphreys1422]

Enjoyed the reactions and wonder why there are not more male goths with channels to balance the pheromones. .

[@WagnerdsClan]

I really like emo subculture and goth subculture and I listen to both and just recently started doing my hair in a trad goth way with kind of death rock/trad/ punk clothing. But I'm not sure which subculture I would consider myself? Any way of knowing because I love both music genres so much!

[@sweeneydeville598]

Wagnerds Clan always be yourself! No need to always identify as one label or A label! Listen to what makes you happy and wear whatever you like:) be yourself

[@octavia88]

You will always be a Greyjoy but you can still be a Stark too! No need to choose a sub over another one!

[@izzyyellowhair7117]

Tbh tho Goths music has a darkwave nice vibe while i am drinking coffee in the morning🖤

[@pablohernandez213]

Can you please do a hair tutorial????? Ive been dying to add volume like yours to my hair but have failed everytime.

[@sweeneydeville598]

Pablo Hernandez I have done a tutorial on trad hair for men :)

[@pippaknightley3546]

Loooved this video 😊 love the earring by the way 🖤😝

[@EmoSew1]

oh my goodness gracious i didn't know trad goth ppl still exist! so happy!

[@bastianallerup7910]

first time whatching and.... I LUVE IT

[@sweeneydeville598]

Bastian Allerup glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@RiverOfBlacklights]

JUST A DISCLAIMER: I *_AM_* "dissing" Emo culture. Why? Cause it tried to leech off the Goth/Post Punk scene thinking it could inject it's "emo" garbage into the scene and everyone would be "so impressed", they wouldn't notice - *_WRONG._* Like some lame and pathetic parasite, it tried to infuse itself with our scene in a lazy effort to bypass establishing it's own scene. Emo (even the name sounds lame and weak) doesn't really have any roots and therefore; it has to sponge off other scenes like Punk, Goth, Post Punk, New Wave etc. in order to "survive". Worse off, most Emo's had/have no respect for Goth/Post Punk or any other scene they leech off of so, good riddance to them. Any self respecting Goth/Post Punk person would open fire on these idiots with a flamethrower, post haste...

[@demetrialexander3358]

Calm down, goth, emo, and punk are different sides of the same coin, like different trees in the same garden. All three have their differences, but also their similarities and strengths.

[@jvttblvck103]

Emo isn’t what you think it is. The term was co-opted by the pop punk kids 🙄 it came out in the 80s/90s with bands like sonic youth and Sunny day real estate.

[@Brownson_]

This guy looks cool I like the hair and the earrings. You look awesome 🖤❤️

[@ninthedition4994]

love the bgm 😍❤️! Also, you're adorable!

[@sweeneydeville598]

Ninth Edition thank you!

[@WitchOfThePage]

So thrilled I found this loveliness.

[@pepsieyes7024]

[@pepsieyes7024]

Hahaha your reaction to the Emo part 😂😂😂😂💜💜

[@sweeneydeville598]

Nazzy TheCreepyKitten I'm glad you enjoyed the video awww thank you!!!

[@WagnerdsClan]

I was just rewatching this video again and I was glad that you know what emo actually is, such a freaking confused thing. I also really like your hair, it’s the same as mine

[@sophiam878]

Aw, glad this video was in my recommendations. I love finding goth youtubers, you kinda remind me of a young Jim Reid ;).

[@kenziejane7997]

I'm a baby bat to the goth subculture, I really liked this video and I love your personal style !

[@yanciepolanco8358]

SWEENEY!!!!!! you might not see this comment but i just wanted to say that your hair is AMAZEBALLS!!! 😍 and i love your videos sooo much ❤❤

[@sweeneydeville598]

Cutie Pie thank you very much for all the nice compliments! Glad you love the videos ( as well as the hair haha) :) It's nice to have people enjoy my stuff!

[@IsiSometimes]

You seem so handsome and cool :DD also, your channel is a pretty nice thingy❤️ I'm glad to see more people my age, especially more guys, seem to dress trad-goth-ier these days

[@theshadow6528]

She added emo because the fashion originally consisted of geeky natural color looks with big glasses (90s and 80s). Later, w the 3rd wave (early 2000s), it absorbed some goth influences and acquired dark clothes, dark makeup, dark hair, skulls etc. The vid is about fashion She explains some other reasons in her vid about it. And ofc, she also did it for some controversy :p

[@Pandora729]

I have been watching a lot of reaction video's of this and I love yours! and your style. You are so pleasant. I really enjoyed this. Also, just subbed to you. xoxo 🦇 🖤

[@sweeneydeville598]

[@melancholic_michael3006]

[@SakuraUploads]

[@sweeneydeville598]

Miriama Yahalom thank you!

[@jellyduck100]

You look actually cool, great video! ;)

[@sweeneydeville598]

Jellyduck100 thank you!

[@charliestephenson3779]

Your hair is fucking magical buddy Mine's going like that soon, I'm growing it out and then I'm going for dreadlocks. I doubt I'll suit that kind of hair as much as you though, it's awesome

[@AradiaAshes]

Punk and New Romantic were quite important in the development of Gothic people in the 80s, since you usually were involved in those movements before Goth came around.

[@sweeneydeville598]

humanoid I agree and never countered that importance. But as a legit category ( subcategory) of goth, it's different. I am aware it has helped shape and find influence before the title became a thing, but it's very much like proto punk- important influence, but not part of the actual conventions and codes of the goth subculture/scene itself.

[@AradiaAshes]

Liisa had every right to include that in the video, but at the same time it's not exactly a "Goth style".

[@kevinnightmareszzz6140]

you're reaction to emo was hilarious haha you're awesome dude!

[@deadxdreadxpunk6091]

I love your reaction to the emo, it's the same I had when seeing it pop up :/ Sorry to be creepy, but you are so freaking handsome!!!

[@bryanwinehouse5939]

I love the alternative style I wish I had more idea of it

[@laurenlopez8996]

You are beautiful man! Reminds me of the Cure.

[@VenusMacabre]

Deathrock revival should've been in the mid 2000s lol. I became a goth in the mid 2000s and Deathrock revival was THE rage at the time, and by 2015 I mean... It's still a thing even now in 2018 but nowhere nearly as massive as it was in the mid 2000s.

[@Wayathin]

I always have fun when i see reaction to emo on this videos. :D

[@katelynlawson4626]

You honestly look like a goth Matty Healy. Loved the video!

[@MidnightOwlOfficial]

I agree with you on the trad goth and I wouldn't expect a bandanna or cowboy boots. I actually did a reaction video too and said the same.

[@sweeneydeville598]

Midnight Owl I saw your reaction to this as well! Great video!

[@_cherry_soda_]

Out of all reactions to the emo part, yours has got to be my favorite.

[@christopherluvsaidan67]

Remember Skinny Puppy their outlet has been is darkness

[@forever3797]

The best 'goth' style is 1990 Fields of the Nephilim, hands down - so original and unlike all the vampire stuff. If there was a second is 1987 The Mission (UK) with long hair and paisley shirts. Neither of these were featured in this, yet they are 2 of the biggest traditional bands.

[@AA-wu2fk]

More less

[@patriciamagana8918]

I love watching these reaction videos because of the emo part 😂😂

[@Raphsophomes]

People who say they are goth are just hella emo. Like in my opinion you don't even need the color black for it to be kind of goth, it's a vibe people just don't understand apparently

[@darlingno2340]

Goth is mostly about music

[@Jessinking]

also love your look here

[@sweeneydeville598]

Jess in king thank you!

[@ericaholmes9597]

Holy shit. I love your hair

[@MaliciousChickenAgenda]

Marianne in the background! Definitely my favourite Sisters song 🤗👻

[@amberlynn6923]

Please react to Aurora's music video - Runaway? She's a singer from Norway ^^

[@Brownson_]

Runway is one of my fav songs

[@auraessa]

I hearrrr you calling mariannnn mwahahahaha

[@jordan1837]

Your hair is great love❤

[@mothermadness3586]

hey what's the music at 6:30, 7:27 and 11:13 (i guess its the same track)?? btw im totally feeling your reaction on industrial and cyber :D

[@glimmeringsnowflake7]

When I first watched the original video and saw "Emo" on my screen, I nearly sanded a hole into the piece of sheet metal I was sanding 😬 I was so mad, I shouted "nooo" with such angst the two other girls in our studio asked me if I was ok 😂 Also, I'm curious of your opinion on early industrial music such as Ministry's "Twitch" album. I personally believe it's relevant to the goth subculture, but it's always interesting to see what others think.

[@ohmilkysmile]

You should have replied to them with "Im not okay, I promise"

[@theshadow6528]

Its not really about ministry, its more about EBM/dark electro/electro-industrial. Thats what hybridused w goth a got. Thats how you have for example revival/semi-reinventive bands like Sexual Purity, Boy Harsher, NNHMN, SYZYGYX.

[@djflakjacket5257]

I mean I'm not really a goth. I more lean towards the DIY punk/grunge thrift store raid kinda deal (that's mostly because I can't afford anything) but I do have a strong connection to the culture (my dad was big into it). In the vain of that statement, seeing emo there kinda pissed me off because even as a third party, having to explain the different cultures is really hard nowadays. And I also have to agree with you on the whole industrial thing. When I started my music project, my first EP was a split with Bend Me Break Me Hate Me, I did more industrial stuff and I associated it more with metal/punk/grunge/techno kind of a mix. I never really associated it with goth because it always seemed that it was more of a style similarity than a music similarity. I guess I just kinda grew up around stuff like certain underground speedcore and horrorcore bands like Butchers Harem and Screamer Clauz so that style I always kind of associated more with my music and so industrial was kind of thrown in there but it always seemed kind of like an odd paring with goth culture.

[@ghstm3745]

Why does new romantic goth remind me of David Bowie

[@Hitakari]

I think vampire style and victorian is the best style, but industrials is nice too!:) I think you have to have good taste and see what suits to you and you can looks fantastic. But sadly many goth and alternative do not have good taste and it spoils the milk. But some have good face and taste and that is look so awsome like that guy in vampire style, industrial. Mniamy!:)))

[@rubymee1]

4:02 siouxsie sioux wore bandaners sometimes...

[@cocon8287]

I love deathrock style (both women and man) but not everyone can pull it off.

[@starsorbit3817]

Your so fricken pretty omfg Robert Smith would be proud

[@jamesnolan4412]

Goth is a broad church so to speak. Goth's beauty and survival of the culture lies in its diversity. For myself, any Goth who disses another should not be a Goth.

[@gtur28]

Where did you get your blaze? It looks nice.

[@samanthaperatsakis6341]

Wow you're so handsome

[@reconronin7774]

Im not really goth but im into the genre

[@karlafaulkner915]

like the hair

[@katbigos6451]

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@romanarana]

Your hairs badass how long did it take to grow the front that long?

[@wayback872]

I want to go full goth,but I don't want people to think am weird since am a professional footballer

[@sweeneydeville598]

Way Back you should not let the perception of other people put you off how you want to express yourself. Besides, a Gothic professional footballer sounds awesome:)

[@wayback872]

Sweeney DeVille Thank you! I will take your advice to full consideration, you the best!

[@glitterslits6269]

Yess i saw emo and i was like noooooooo

[@marienilsen2812]

What is the music you're playing in the background called? I really like it!

[@sweeneydeville598]

PhanIsReal it's a mixture of four song. Marian by Sisters Of Mercy Nobody's Laughing by The Killbrides the loneliest guy by David Bowie Wolverines by Specimen

[@theblacksmith5569]

Not sure if you read comments, but you remind me of Edward Scissorhands and LP.

[@sweeneydeville598]

The Blacksmith aw thank you:) yes I do

[@theblacksmith5569]

Sweeney DeVille Oh, cool. You're welcome. 😊

[@lilcreature4006]

my opinion on punk- punk was a lable given by torie media to anarchists and fighters of the system

[@sweeneydeville598]

Ades Sneakers you are half right. You are right about the origin of the name, but I wouldn't say anarchists or fighters. Remember, the punk scene came from proto punk acts like New York dolls and iggy pop.. so when Malcolm mcclaren brought this new sound and ideology to the lower class teens of London, it was seen more as a artistic rebellious movement firstly, then anti monarchy But with the diy attitude, style and music ect it helped start the first stages of goth

[@peterdmitribachand3954]

Sooooo Emo’s I am neither Emo or goth but I listen to “ Emo” music, My Chemical Romance, Black veil brides , and I listen to Goth music too so I don’t like that they blended them because they are very different

[@jarome_del_tellur]

Marian🖤🖤🖤

[@RaquelIsAlive]

Whats that last song in the end?

[@joylindadichamounix]

What I don't like is that I can not see the styles when they are in that little box.

[@deadboy0452]

Where did you get your earring? I dig it.

Who here like Metallica

[@joh3628]

1997 FREAK Goth Style

[@cynthiamayfield5664]

My question is, if the creator isn’t goth, why make a whole video in something they know nothing about??? Let goths tell their own story
