Oh. My. Goth.

Part of the W.G.N. ( Weird Girl Network )

https://discord.gg/dZrQEU25pW

Not strictly a Gothic server but one in which discussion and community formed around subculture (such as Goth) is encouraged! We also love bringing on people who want to share media and art that may fall under or around the category of Gothic! That might be horror, music, romantic literature, fashion, or your creepy doll DIY project!


Originating in the 1980s British Gothic Rock scene, the contemporary Goth subculture has gone on to expand globally, particularly within the artistic mediums of music and fashion. The subculture's primary aesthetics draw from 19th-century Gothic literature and horror fiction with an emphasis on occult and macabre themes. With secondary influences taken into account, "Goth" can be aptly likened to a bricolage, encompassing a geographically and temporally vast gamut of artistic movements. As expansion begets further influences, this quality is only strengthened, hindering any laconic summary of said influences.

This group is meant for all flavors of the subculture to socialize and vibe together.

If you like Visual-Kei music and enjoy Japan's Rococo Victorian Lolita Goth fashion, this group is for you.

If you want to embrace tradition and keep steady the spirit of the original British Trad Goths this group is for you.

If you thought the Russian Tumblr-originating pastel take on goth was awesome, this group is for you.

If you are nostalgic for the American Nu and Industrial Metal influenced 90s Mall Goth scene, or even just miss the old Hot Topic gates, this group is for you.

If you thought Rockabilly could use more black makeup, this group is here for your Psychobilly proclivities, same story for the Romantics who spend their days enjoying German expressionist horror flicks from before the sound era.

Maybe its the 4th century and you've just crossed the Danube seeking refuge from the Hunnic migration in Roman lands but the provincial authorities of the empire are short-changing your people into destitution and the whole situation just really makes you want to smash Emperor Valens' ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ head in.

This group is once again, for you!

Armed with this knowledge, you can tell your friends and family that a central theme in Romantic period Gothic Literature is that of being haunted by the past. You can then explain how Obsidian Entertainment's landmark 2010 RPG Fallout: New Vegas has the same central theme. Finally, you can inform them that because of this, New Vegas is indeed a piece of Gothic art and the perfect choice of game for the discerning Goth girl.
