WHITBY GOTH FESTIVAL, October 2022

[@Thirdfish]

Most people here do not understand the nature of gothic, it has nothing at all to do with steampunk, they have their own festivals. As as an original goth from the 80's (music subculture) we were physically and verbally abused by what society deems as the 'normal', we loved the gothic novels, poetry and films to which the bands where heavily influenced by, Leeds and Bradford were where that scene thrived. I'm glad it is all encompassing and enjoyed now and that the hatred has some what dissipated, unfortunately there are still hate crimes against goths. Thanks for sharing, hope to meet you at the next one.

If you want to find the real Goths, ask how many of them would dress like this on a regular Saturday Night in Manchester/Leeds/Bristol.

“I disliked Whitby and the Goths; the place I found wet and the people rude. They had the fine qualities which bore me - thrift and industry and long-faced holiness, and the young women are mostly great genteel boisterous things who are no doubt bedworthy enough if your taste runs that way. (One acquaintance of mine who had a Goths clergyman’s daughter described it as like wrestling with a sergeant of dragoons.) The men I found solemn, hostile, and greedy, and they found me insolent, arrogant, and smart.”

You sound a fun guy.

@@kenjones6441 Ive watched like four videos about whitby this year from different people and this comment is on all of them. word for word. Its being all gother than thou which is kinda funny. so I just chuckle when i see it. ( i was taking it as an obscure joke) The wording is superfluous which is goth as hell. So to me lol he DOES seem like a fun guy.
