Can someone like creepy gothic things, dress in gothic clothes and listen to dark music and NOT BE A GOTH?!!!

Also, if someone has been drawn to dark cathedrals, stained glass windows, gargoyles/statues, bats, demons, magic since childhood, is that an indication that this person may be gothic?

Firstly, if you have not heard of grindstore.com, the links below should help you get a gist of what I’m on about.

http://www.grindstore.com/Corsets_T198/page1.html

So, I’ve fallen in love with a lot of the stuff on grindstore.com, but I don’t really want to buy online, I would rather buy from an actual shop.

Does anybody know if there are any grindstore shops or if it’s just online? Also, does anyone know of any shops (in England) that sell similar things to the stuff on that website? Please let me know!

please dont give online shop names

Do they sell victorian-type clothing to wear? If so, are the dresses extremely expensive? Are everyday (not special occasion) victorian era dresses sold at all?

Well i Just wanted to know what do you have to do to be gothic.?

And what are the best gothic clothing store?

What kind of music do gothic people listen to ?

my bf and i have been together for a while
before we knew each other i was into gothic clothing and since iv known him iv got more into it. about a year later we started going out which was shortly after i got into gothic and lolita clothing, since then iv got way into it, and my bf has decided he wants to aswell.
problem is, its pretty difficult to get nice male gothic clothing.

i found this picture and he said he likes what the guy was wearing

so thats a guide of the kinda things he likes

i found this picture

so onto my question…

does anyone know any web sights selling kadona (male gothic lolita)/ elegant gothic/ victorian gothic clothing?
also interested in visual kai and japanese punk

First of all, I can’t find ANYTHING good at Hot Topic!!

Secondly, I’m looking for things that are goth/emo yet cute, like Kuromi from Hello Kitty, or Skelanimals stuff…the Nightmare before Christmas things are cool too. I need new clothes that match my specific style for my birthday!

Help?
PS ya, I’m not a poser cuz I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time now, I have some cool clothes already but I’m sick of all my other girly clothes and want something thats really MY style so yah, thanks for the help. ^.^

i need to find a leather vest/jacket with spikes and boots that are also like that

Okay, so this is my senior year of high school. I like punk clothing, not gothic. i like skater stuff to like Vol-com, Hurley, DC, Famous..but i wanna know what is in? like whats cool? it doesn’t have to be punk just some suggestions please. ive been looking at websites and i cant find anything lol. 5*
i dont like skinny jeans. i’m not bg but im above average and i dont think they look good on me.

I’m looking for clothes that the Japanese youth (Age 16-21) would wear. Not into the Gothic Lolita, Rockabilly, or any other fads that were started in America. Looking for slender and sleek clothes that are more geared towards the slender shapes of asian folks.

If you can provide me with websites for shops online or just a run down of clothing line brandnames, I’d be very happy =)
A lot of brands on there were South Korean, not my type. I’m looking for more of the Visual Kei(not just pertaining to but somewhat) style in Japan.

I want to begin building a gothic-lolita wardrobe. I’m 13 years old and I understand that it’s a lot of money. But I plan to build it up slowly.

I was just wondering what are some things that are essential to a lolita wardrobe? I found a good site that has a lot of good stuff:

Thanks

P.S. What are some other good sites to buy these types of clothing?

does hot topic have any real gothic clothes? because tripps are poser goth i dont want to look like a poser goth.

I’ve seen some very "different" types of emo, alternative, indie, and even gothic brands of clothing that I have seen that are very much not from Hot Topic. They just look very different and orignal types of clothing that are technically mainstream kinds.

I would just like to know some lists of these types of clothings.
I normally not really a gothic or emo type of person, but I consider to normally dress not completely mainstream, but I have my own orignal style. I wear what I like and expresses taste. Ranging from band shirts to button up plaid shirts.

And I am not into that much Hot Topic besides the band shirts because I was into that when I was younger but Hot Topic seems so Gothic trash and not really alternative at all.

I live in an area thats mainly rural, and besides Hot Topic, its really the only main alternative type of store I know around here besides something like Pacific Sun.

So any information would be great!

Thank you =]
To BATS_fans:

I understand completely what you are saying however you are completely wrong about me. See, I am not any type of real stereotype or whatnot and I do not consider myself "different" or "misunderstood" or any other general cliche that comes with the whole goth/emo appearance.

The only reason I used those words to describe my slight alternative style is because that is basically what society would label me as. However honestly, I would probably be more labeled as "earthy". I just like to find those rare gems of clothing in odd places. I wear whatever I want that makes me feel good, and in that way of doing, It does make me different from most. I do not only wear black or only wear Hollister. In fact, I hardly ever wear the two mentioned. I am just me.
I am a very upbeat, optimistic, searcher type of person. I am very free, and understanding of my surroundings. I do not belive in stereotyping, or believe I am "so different than those around me" or think those who do
I do not think I am "so different than those around me" nor do I pity myself and think I’m so original nor do i think those who don’t dare to be different are below me. Trust me, I am not that type of close-minded naive person.
Even in writing this, it may make me sound gothic but I am very much not. I am very light individual even in my clothing style. Maybe, I will just be myself and find what I want, but I do belive clothing to be a self-expression and that is why I saught these different clothing style because I am a seeker at heart, and live for new things.
It gives people just a slight spark of interest in me, and I let myself do the rest.

Like Skelanimals and things, you know, CUTE gothic clothing?? I love that type of stuff, please help!
PS, shopping online is fine with me but I prefer buying them at a store..
Also, I have already looked at Hot Topic..I couldn’t find anything much at all..

I have been bullied in school for so long. I have been turning the other cheek. Asked them to stop, went to the headmaster, but they still bully me because I wear gothic clothing.

They say I am going to burn in hell. The call me a fag.

I dont believe in heaven and hell. What would the satanic response be to these bullies. I know satanist do not encourage violence, but I am sure there must be some advise.

I was looking on Ebay and Amazon but can’t seem to find outfits, can someone please show me where to buy some online for a halfway decent price?

I’m going to Melbourne next week, and I’ll be staying in Bourke St, near the Regent Theatre. Are there any good gothic clothing shops that aren’t too far away from there, or are easy to get to via public transport? I’m particularly interested in corsets. Thanks!

Is there any where i could find Gothic lolita clothing in Virginia or on the internet?I have been looking for the dressess.
I am very new to Gothic lolita and where can i find it in Virginia.Or any websites that sell it.

I’m getting a gown. I’m going as a Gotihc Snow White, not Dead. I have a pale-ish face with dark brown hair.

Should I have a black cape or should I stick with red?
What should I do for makeup?

I was thinking I could use red lipstick for my top/lower lip and use black for the other? Or I could stripe the lipsticks on my lips?

Black eyeshadow? Faint Blush? What else should I do with makeup?

Thanks in advance.
Yay! Okies, thanks everyone. I’ll see what I can do. Open to more suggestions.
The gown is just like Snow White’s. Yellow on the bottom, blue in the torso area.

i’m very frustrated about not seeing any gothic lolita inspired clothes that i could buy. yes, there are a lot of online stores but are there any stores that are "not" online?

thanks in advance o yah. im not in uk or something. just around rancho cucamonga

I always say I’m not, some of my friends are emo…gothic…punk… err, whatever they call themselves. Well anyway i’m not sure if i’m gothic or not… I’m draw to black hair, gothic clothing and vampires ect. but is this for real? I WANT to know if I am or not. And one other question. My parents and my gradma probably won’t accept it if I am and if I choose to be… (P.S DON’T TELL ME ITS MY CHOICE CUZ I KNOW!!!!!)
Guys, very good points, but I try to avoid acting gothic for some strange reason that I even forgot and no one thinks i’m gothic because I don’t try to be sometimes I feel like I want to but I just push it aside. It’s like this: say your on a diet which you don’t know when you can stop the diet and there is a delicious cake set in front of you. I am pushing the cake away but its tempting to pull it back and I tug is a small bit sometimes. Make sense?

i know there tight jeans and hoodies and all but what tpye of clohting are they? like for exsample: theres normel clothes.gothic clothes.emo/scene clothes.punk clothes.gangster/gheto clothes..prep clothes. you get the point…..search it up if you have to please.
