I couldn't disagree more. Rain's great. It's atmospheric which really suits the goth vibe. Blazing sunshine would be too sterile and boring. Leave that to the tattoo and burger brigade in Benidorm, the goth weekend and Whitby should be brooding, dark and tense.

My Mum took my 12yr old Daughter on the Sunday. Her red and black outfit looked amazing, she'd done her own makeup beautifully, she was so excited to go and my poor girl ended up absolutely crestfallen.. It did nothing but rain all the time she was there and she was soaked through to the skin. It wasn't all bad. She bought some lovely things, she got some nice comments on her makeup from some of the shop owners and a photographer asked if he could take her picture, but she was pretty much broken at that point so she politely declined. Whitby.. We are not done with you.. 🖤

I am probably going to get called a gate keeper (usually by people not on the Goth scene) but I don't care, if there was more gatekeeping this would still be an actual music festival not some unorganised costumed gathering. This is no longer a 'Goth' weekend or more accurately a Goth Music Festival, especially when people refer to those as wearing a 'costume'. This is joe public in Halloween cosplay, which normally I wouldn't have nothing against if it hadn't warped the original Goth weekend. It's overpriced and too busy now. I used to go for 5 nights of clubs, bands, markets not to get my photo taken and told by people with no idea about the scene that they 'like my costume'. I went to Whitby to get away from you. If all your going for is to dress up, why can't you go to York, or Bath or any other nice city? People don't have the guts and knew they wouldn't stand out in Whitby. And that is the difference between wearing a costume and been part of a subculture. Goths don't dress any different at home then they did at Whitby. Would these people wear this in thier own city, town or village, tomorrow?
@thewhitbyphotographerАй бұрын
Im always interested in Gatekeeping. Can you explain how you tell people they can't go to Whitby and walk around the streets at times of thier choosing. Serious question, how are you stopping them, and from a residents point of view, what right do you think you have to stop people coming here.
@DelabaneАй бұрын
@@thewhitbyphotographer Its funny, when Goths first started attending Whitby, some B&B proprietors put signs saying 'No Goths'. Probably the same backwards mindset who would put 'No Blacks' or 'No Gays' once upon a time. Then they realised just how much money Goths brought to the town, so reluctantly embraced/tolerated them. Although I and others suspected that many would happily see the backs of us if we were replaced by more 'normal' clientele, eg a Halloween/Parade Disco, which seems to becoming true. Most Goths, at least those who still go, generally avoid old town over the weekend, as they don't wish to associate with these people and was the exact reason why they originally came to Whitby - to get away from them. It was cheap and quiet and they did not go for thier photos to be taken by strangers. Saying Whitby is not a Goth Weekend and just some mass unorganised Halloween Parade is enough to be called a Gate Keeper. Usually by people not on the scene or have never been to a Goth club thier whole life. Goth is a subculture not a bad 'costume' you put on once a year.
