I died my hair purple when I was 16 because of her. Pretty much been purple every since for 20 years with a few splashes of blue or green here and there
Def. Goth. Seeing her new design in the comics was jarring at first, but it definitely grew on me as a goth that underdresses most of the time. But putting both designs side-to-side, I absolutely prefer the long-sleeved dress and skull pendant. I’m also just nostalgic for the sharp, moody style of the original show.
I love her old design so much better but i do like how she’s a little more compassionate in the new ones (though that’s always been my personal canon that she’s just mean on the exterior)
I think it gives the character more depth, instead of being very one-dimensional. One-dimensional is fine, but only as a minor side character. Once they start getting more screen time, they need a bit of depth.
As an animator I kinda understand the shift, the show’s artstyle was notoriously painful to animate, probably bc of its less organic shapes. The movie takes from the comics stylistically a lot more as well.
Jhonen said he felt bad for Gaz not having much of a personality outside of being a gamer and loving Bloaty's Pizza Hog also she didn't have much screen time. In "Invader Zim: Enter the Florpus!" they tried to give her more characteristics by being a helpful sibling towards Dib at all times and i can see and understand many people liking the gothic vibes more over the gamer one. in my opinion goth Gaz will always remain the peak 2000s goth area.
I remember reading his "Invader Zim Face" blog. That went off the rails more than Squee did. Entire passages about how the Invader Zim test screenings made kids heads explode and how Gir was named after a dying kid brought into the office to see how cartoons are made as she died. The only thing about it that I trusted was him saying he saw Lou Feriggno (spelled wrong) riding a bike with a chihuahua in the basket
JV has issues with the goth subculture but has no issues using its aesthetics. I don’t think he’s via authority on what is Goth fashion or not honestly. IDK if he’s gotten over it within the last couple of years comics about a character called wish her friends would be extremely judgmental and kind of bully people who weren’t doing the right way. I think that’s what he says that his characters are not Goth.
I kind of prefer the new style because I feel like he’s gotten better. He came out of the dark spooky clothing of the 90s where the aesthetic was is super pale, etc., and see a lot of people without super pale skin like him and his family represented, and I think that’s why he creeps away from the Goth label because of people trying to gatekeep Goth to the point of being racist back in those days
Goth girl erasure will not stand. I like to think she wears more color in the summer because it's too hot to wear a lot of black. Both are fine, I think.
I like both of her vibes. But I definitely prefer her goth style; I loooove the old style of Invader Zim, it built up half of my art style (so did Homestuck XD). But I like the gamer vibes she gave in Enter Florpus. Though her goth style was better in almost every way looool
goth gaz for sure. peak 2000s mall goth queen

the thing about classic Zims artstyle is that almost every character looked goth.
I freaking loved it that way.
One of the best looking animated shows full stop I'l say it

Old design, new personality would be cool. I'm just glad Dib has someone in his corner for once.
I think it gives the character more depth, instead of being very one-dimensional. One-dimensional is fine, but only as a minor side character. Once they start getting more screen time, they need a bit of depth.
Loved florpus, but man, I hate how they ditched that edgy, dark, pointy style from the original
that was my biggest gripe about the film. looks like a fan animation instead of official work

Same here.
Both!
Yea!
HAPPY CAKE DAY!
Goth. By a LANDSLIDE.

You can have both
I think the new Gaz makes her look more her age, but the goth version fits the "scary little girl" description other characters give her.
Yeah right Gaz wasn't goth and JTHM was a jehovas witness 😂 jhonen is such a joker. Goth gaz 4eva

Both, but I like Gamer Gaz more. Represents who she really is.
Both are neat though gamer gives a little more room for improvement and dib can at least not suffer so much 😂
Goth. The character designs in the original tv show are all superior to the comics and movie
GAMER GAZ
I prefer goth gaz. But then I prefer the overall aesthetic of the OG series in general.
Goth gaz looks so much better. I never understood why they changed her design
I'm personally a Goth bean so Goth Gaz all the way.
Goth
Goth for sure, but her new *personality* is still fun. The new design isn't as good as classic Gaz imo.
No disrespect to Jhonen. Every artist evolves their style over time. But damn that original style is so much more enjoyable to me.
Gamer but wearing goth clothes
goth
Me: Why not both?
>“we aren’t nu metal” >-every nu-metal band Jhonen saying she isn’t goth has the same energy as this
“Jhonen Vasquez himself is so goth that Gaz’s aesthetic genuinely seemed normal to him” That one Tumblr post will never not send me 🤣
both!
I prefer the original 2000s design for all the charatcers.
I was very off and confused by her new design so I have to stick with her (goth) design
“Goth” Gaz all the way 🖤
if she wasn't goth then what would you call her fashion style?😭😭 i can't see it as anything else
Her old design with her new personality being more expressive
I always thought she was both because I was both
I don't think they reference what kind of music she listens to, for all we know she could be punk or metalhead rather than goth.

Goth gaz 101%
goth and it isnt even close her new design has always just looked wrong to me
We all grow and change. She's still a little bit of both and sje can rock either when the opportunity calls for it. So I'll say the newer look.
OG Gaz
Goth for sure
Goth gaz
I like both, the original is more of her scary side, but her movie outfit shows more of her gamer side.
Both is best
Goth
Goth for sure
Goth girl erasure will not stand. I like to think she wears more color in the summer because it's too hot to wear a lot of black. Both are fine, I think.
I prefer goth gaz's design but I like gamer gaz's personality a lot more
Goth Gaz one hundred percent
Goth Gamer Gaz
Goth Gaz
Goth Gaz
I like goth Gaz more because I think the outfit looks cooler and prettier though gamer Gaz is still cool
I like Gaz being nicer but I LUV HER OLD DESGIN SO MUCH SHE'S SO GENDER. She use to be emo gamer girl boss now she's just a regular gamer girl boss
Paperclip remover Gaz
Why the fuck did he say she's not goth? What?
I like both TBH
Goth Gaz! She just had more going on, which I love! The shading, the color, everything :3
I like both of her vibes. But I definitely prefer her goth style; I loooove the old style of Invader Zim, it built up half of my art style (so did Homestuck XD). But I like the gamer vibes she gave in Enter Florpus. Though her goth style was better in almost every way looool
Goth obvi
Goth Gaz
I think JV didn't know what a non-goth person looked like.
Og gaz forever, the other one s not even gaz , same for professor Membrane
Jhonen: GUYS GAZ IS NOT GOTH!! *Gaz being the most goth thing to ever exist.*
Goth fs
"Not Goth!!!" -said by every goth ever.
Isn't she both?
Technically i meant in terms of style/personality since its different from the show to the comics.
