Here's a little goth fact maybe not everyone knows. Goth subtypes were originally created as a joke. In the mid 90's there was a list made with over 100 'goth types'on forums that goth's found in a time social media was not easy to access. There was sneeze goths, a goth who sneez. As time went on people found these forums and 'resurfaced' them, ex: drawing inspired stuff. Overtime it became a huge thing people still take seriously.
Examples of original goth subtypes:
1. Mommygoth/daddygoth - goths with offsprings
2. Burrito goth - goths who have experienced with burritos
3. Fuzzy goth - Those with facial hair
4. Newrogoth - new romantics
5. Anarchigoth - Anarchist
6.Inky goth - those with 2+ tattoos
7. Bigoth/Lesbigoth/Gaygoth - bi, lesbian and gay goths
8. Babygoth - offspring of goths (def my fav because i dowant little babygoths, or babybats on my own)
9. Fangygoth - those with professional fangsmade
10. Fairy goth - Goths who are god mothers
11. Gansta goths - goths from the hood (as someone who lives in the dangerous and pooe side of the city this is funny to me)
12. Noodle goth - those who's on a pudget
13. Slug goth - Slow goths
14. Caugh goth - goths who caugh/sick goths
and much more.
- With that being said, goth is goth. I don't think it's neccecary to put the idea that if you are goth you need to put yourself in a box where your clothes have to look to punky or too vampire-esq. You can take inspration sure, as goth is deeply rooted in vampire literature. But you can go to your local goth, or alternative scene and think oh another goth. Goth is inherintatly a subculture who values creativity, open to new and strange and individuality. Regardless what you like to choose and think, this was just a little rant and a random fact.
