I am a parent of tweens and teen girls and I think the biggest mistake one can make as a parent is to hyperfocus on and try to control how our children dress. Outside of them dressing like a porn star, I don't care what they wear, so long as it's clean. I think when parents forbid their kids to wear certain things, forbid them from cutting, growing, shaving, dyeing, back-combing their hair, etc., you as a parent just make that clothing/hair choice more attractive to them and they're just going to rebel, sneak, or resent you. My relationship with my kids is more important to me than pressuring them into dressing "normal." I think we as parents have way more important things to worry about than how our kids are dressed.

Hell, yes! Doing parenting right! There will always be battles with parents and kids, but it makes no sense to pick unnecessary battles...if you fight with them over unnecessary shit, they'll never trust you when they REALLY need your help. (not a parent, and never will be, but that's how I figure it - my mum always told me that she would be there for me whatever I did - if I got into drugs (oops...), even if I murdered someone, I could tell her, she would always be there...so, clothing, it was never fussed about. She only worries if I'm very scantily clad going out clubbing, and then her only fear is for my safety... Mumming right! :3 She's awesome...and it sounds like you are too!)

Thank you both for saying this. I hate limiting myself, and I know who I am. Part of this subculture is expressing yourself and saying fuck it to the rules so it never made sense to me that it was so exclusionary and hostile, but out of respect I never called myself goth and felt very self conscious if I ever wore anything with because I didn't feel I'd earned it. I just admired the subculture from afar. But when I turned 30, I pretty much said fuck this, I'm done, life's too short. I've got an appointment later this month to chop my hair off and dye it indigo. I've started collecting pieces and sprinkling them into my wardrobe so the change won't be so extreme, but I'm ready to stop being afraid of being alternative, because that's who I am. 🖤 But that doesn't mean I won't dabble in other fashions and makeup styles. It just can't be this serious...

Hey, I've got some ideas for boots on a budget! Getting cheap and rather boring ones to decorate is a great idea, because it's so much less expensive. For example: 1. Get or make bootstraps with spikes or whatever you prefer. They're cheaper than shoes so you can buy a lot of different designs and match to your outfit! 2. Chokers can actually be put around boots to spoof them up. 3. Adding spikes, studs, fabrics, charms, laces etc. are all great. The good thing with decorations that you can take on and off, is that it's basically like having a lot of shoes when in fact you just have one pair and a lot of decorations for them!

I'm so glad I found this! I used to dress very gothy in my late teens/early twenties, and I've been drawn back to it as of late because it was by far the most creative, fun and bold style I've ever had. I was CONSTANTLY cruising the thrift stores and craft stores for cheap stuff that I would then excitedly take home and alter. Goths who wear really expensive store-bought goth clothes always look really pristine and stunning, don't get me wrong, but to me there was always something way more bitchin about a DIY goth who had a whole lot of interesting, one of a kind little details strewn throughout their outfit. That kind of style requires real creativity, which you can't buy in a store. I agree that Halloween is such a great time to get stuff, I used to go through the halloween clearance bins and get loads of fun false eyelashes, black nail polishes, scarves, socks, jewelry, for very cheap!

Just earned yourself a new sub for being awesome! I often go back and forth between wanting to be the ideal goth and fitting in with other "normal" styles, i found it hard to fit in to the gothic/punk community in my area just as much as me trying to fit into the everyday norm for 17 year old girls. Ive realised that no matter how i dress i wont fit in easily and thats purely there problem not mine, your videos are really helping me want to explore my darker side again! Thank You!

Fankyoo! :) And yeah, I've felt that occasionally with certain alternative nights I've been to - because the local club encompasses rock, metal, goth and more, and the nights there rotate, you get different crowds coming in, and sometimes they're really not My People...but hopefully, eventually you'll find the little subsection that are your people :)

yeah me and my best friend plan on going clubbing when we turn 18 this year ( we will try before that too!) and im just not sure of my self to feel comfortable around all these new people, i can handle creeps and pushy guys but judgemental stares from girls because we smoke or are on stuff worry's me a lot, i think once i figure out what style i love ill learn to just have fun and not give a fuck what people view me as!

Rit Dye! Just note what the fabric content is. There's 2 types of Rit dye. One for regular and another for synthetic fabrics. Also consider changing buttons on things. You can really change the look of it by changing buttons to black or ornate silver buttons. If your garment has buttons. Also black grommet tape is fun to use to add a corset lace up detail.

H&M keep coming out with "gothic" sort of clothing. It's not Primark cheap but it's not ridiculously expensive. A lot of it is basically Killstar inspired, but it's still pretty cute. ^_^

Dukkii Shay Thanks for the tip! I've not been to H&M in ages, I remember years back they were supposed to have a Girl With The Dragon Tattoo collection, and I got really excited, but my local branch didn't carry it and apparently everything sold out in 5 seconds flat anyway >_< ...but I'm planning to go hunting for jeans to mutilate tomorrow, so I might swing by H&M too, and see what I can find! :)

Genius! Love the choker tips! I can never find a good choker that actually fits my neck. And the safety pin idea really does sound much more appealing than fiddling with the clasps and breaking my nails in the process. Yeesh.

+starsinshatters Yess! Safety pins are a lifesaver, particularly if you get home a bit drunk and there's no one to help you out of your choker, I can't believe we're living in 2015 and no one's made a necklace clasp that isn't fiddly as all hell yet!

So I've never really been into alt fashion until quite recently, but today I trimmed down some old shirts I got from savers that I didn't like because they were too long. I put one of my DIY crop topsthem on, and I was absolutely ecstatic. So I'm looking into goth/emo/alt fashion and giving it a try! (I'm only 14, so I don't have a ton of resources, but I'm asking my mom if we can go to savers soon so I can revamp my wardrobe)

This video is my life. I don't live in Germany, the US or the UK so I don't live where there are major gothic outlets which can sell affordable goth styles. Our local goth stores charge a lung for tiny sized clothes that frankly are almost pathetic quality compared to major commercial stores. I'm also a UK size 16 and so many outlets don't carry my size. I just mix and match everything I own. I love this video. :) I hate how people judge others for their "ungothiness" if you don't look the part or if you can't afford to. Totally not cool, the subculture of alternatives and the outsiders becomes even worse than the people they got away from. (not for everyone of course)

A tip on shoes, try and find them on sale if you want them brand new! my first pair of demonias (red and black glitter leopard print creepers) were only about 40 bucks because they were on sale, and if theyre limited and have a little bit of color, youre more likely to get a family member that will buy them as long as theyre not the gigantic platform knee high boots in all black with tons of buckles. My great grandfather whos VERY against me dressing goth bought them for me because they could easily be styled for a goth look or a more normal look!

Never put dying clothes in the washing machine. All the paint chemicals can damage your washing machine. I'm an artist, I've dyed clothes before. It's best to put it in warm/hot water in a bucket, add your color & stir it for about an hour or two. Keep checking if it turns into the right color and your done. Just helping out not insulting anyone. good luck :)
