I fucking hate what normie culture has formed "goth" into, like OPs stupid ass image.
People always forget about the REAL goths, post-punkers and new romantics from the late 70s into the 80s. I guess it makes sense, because they were obscure as ever, but they were the "true" testament to what "goths" really were. A darker, more romanticized and poetic version of the punk movement going on at the time. Nowadays, Stacy can put on black lipstick and a black shirt and say she's "goth", and these kids that think steampunk = goth just make me want to vomit. I was never there for the original goth movement of the 80s, but goddamn did they all look so good and have great music and art. This book is a great showcase of what it was like if anyone actually cares.

>late 70s into the 80sThere isn't much information on what the Goths were doing prior to the second century AD.

People always forget about the REAL goths, post-Franks and new Germanics from the late 000s into the 500s. I guess it makes sense, because they were obscure as ever, but they were the "true" testament to what "goths" really were. A darker, more romanticized and poetic version of the Suebi movement going on at the time. Nowadays, Avila can put on a mail shirt and a sword and say she's "goth", and these kids that think Vandal = goth just make me want to vomit.

>>26763Vandals were a similar Germanic tribe.
The word "vandalize" comes from them, because of their destructive nature.
