fuck yeah! ive always wanted to dye my ends purple... but my hair is very brown almost black. it wouldnt really show lol. bur for blonde hair you can do almost anything!
yes, goth is a music based subculture, if you listen to the music you’re goth. if ur talking about the gothic style, yes you can be gothic and blonde, a bunch of gothic blondes exist
Goth is music based, so you can be goth no matter what as long as you listen to the music. But it also has some aspects to it in which your views take place in it as well. Like, if you’re a total bigot then you’re not goth. Goth comes from punk, so it’s already assumed it would have some political aspects.
This makes me remember a text I had to write about in an exam where the author said the subcultures like Punk, goth was just music and no politics or views and that in todays society the young people make their gender identity and sexual identity into politics so I wanted so badly to rant and kinda did, about how Punk is literally about critisizing the current society and I even refernced some punk song lyrics to show that
quite a bit of the early Goth music still had the counterestablishment/anti system political messaging, but the majority of goth music in the last 2 decades havent really been punk.
Most gothic music has 0 to do with politics. While goth culture did come from punk, it has grown into something else entirely. Try and compare Dystopia to Twin Tribes.
actually a lot of goths in the 80s had bleached/blonde hair, usually teased or styled, so definitely. also remember that it isn’t just a style and the music is at the core of goth subculture.
It's not all about the style, no matter what people say. Media and interests play a huge role in most alternative subcultures, style is just a fun little thing
If you listen to the music you’re considered goth style has nothing to do with it if ur listening to deftones and calling urself goth then ur wrong but if u listen to goth music ur good
Of course you can but goth is not a style, gothic is. Anyone can be goth if you listen to the music and have similar beliefs and values. Being blonde doesn’t stop that nor does dressing “regularly”. Now if you wanna be gothic which is the style that goth people wear, then that’s different but yeah you can still be blonde.
Just remember gothic is the style and goth is the music and whole subculture. Anyone can be either, but there’s a difference because you don’t have to be goth to be gothic. But most gothic people are probably into the music as well. So they would be goth. But if you’re not interested in getting into the music and only the fashion just say gothic. Because claiming to be a goth if you’re actually not one or interested in becoming one is just being a poser.
I suppose so?
What's your gender, I suppose that might have an impact on it. (Don't take that the wrong way 😅)
Since, one of my friends are blonde and they look pretty cool and capture the idea of a "goth" style.
(They're male)
ofc! it’s a style of music that carries fashion with it, but you shouldn’t feel like your hair color or skin color can determine what you can be in a subculture! I have curly brown hair and hazel/color changing eyes and im emo (tho look at gerard way from the 2022/2023 swarm tour and he basically has the same hair as me but slightly lighter)
yes you don't have to dye your hair, personality and looks don't have to go together you can look really soft and be very emo or wear lots of dresses but still be a tomboy so goths can be blond it that's what you prefer
Yes, just look at misa from death note, and but also your hair is easy to dye if it’s blonde so you can do fun shit with it
Wish I still had blond hair to dye it more easily
It’s a curse most the time imo
Ig I could try. Maybe I could also dye the edges of my hair to a darker color
fuck yeah! ive always wanted to dye my ends purple... but my hair is very brown almost black. it wouldnt really show lol. bur for blonde hair you can do almost anything!
Dying dark hair is totally possible, you just have to bleach the ends first!
yeah but i want to avoid bleaching- it ruins your hair lol
Fair, although most dyes aren’t much better
my thoughts exactly
yes, goth is a music based subculture, if you listen to the music you’re goth. if ur talking about the gothic style, yes you can be gothic and blonde, a bunch of gothic blondes exist
Well, if that's true, I am apparently the most brightly colored goth in existence.
And im the most southern goth fr

i second this
This makes me remember a text I had to write about in an exam where the author said the subcultures like Punk, goth was just music and no politics or views and that in todays society the young people make their gender identity and sexual identity into politics so I wanted so badly to rant and kinda did, about how Punk is literally about critisizing the current society and I even refernced some punk song lyrics to show that
goth(originally post-punk) is derived from punk, but not exactly punk itself
I haven't listened to much goth music (possibly none) but considering it derived from punk, does it also have criticism to the current society?
quite a bit of the early Goth music still had the counterestablishment/anti system political messaging, but the majority of goth music in the last 2 decades havent really been punk.
Interesting
do i listen to goth if im listening to death metal? also that subgenre is called emo with bands like My Chemical Romance.
No, goth music is more like “Siouxsie and the Banshees” or “Specimen”. There’s tons of different goth subgenres within music though.
oh cool! i never knew this actually- even though im a super rock & metal guy!
goth and emo aren't the same.
Most gothic music has 0 to do with politics. While goth culture did come from punk, it has grown into something else entirely. Try and compare Dystopia to Twin Tribes.
Fun fact: Goths don’t listen to goth music.
ofc you can! i’ve seen many goths that are blonde!
NO absolutely not your execution date is tomorrow at 7:30PM

Yes. I knew a guy with platinum blonde hair who was goth, and in a way I think it elevated the style
100% go for it, you could pull it off
Thank you my lovely husband
Hope you got some sleep

You can have a Centipede either way

Honestly, never tried a centipede before. However, mealworms are frigging delicious, especially living ones.

You must
Yes, but you’ll look like that girl from deathnote
yeah goth is mostly about the music :D
U gotta go bald for that

I'm a natural blonde with a stash of emo, people don't expect it.
Look for Tiffany Chucky
Listen, hate me or not, blonde goths look hot asf
yes! goth is music-based! go do your thing dear!
Hell yea. Goth is just a music genre and theres no problem with being blonde when it comes to the fashion style :>
actually a lot of goths in the 80s had bleached/blonde hair, usually teased or styled, so definitely. also remember that it isn’t just a style and the music is at the core of goth subculture.
Of course! Theres lots of blonde goths in Europe!
Yes
goth is music based. hair color doesn’t matter
If you follow the culture and media, you can be goth without even dressing up.
Yeah. Just look at Rose Lalonde.
It's not all about the style, no matter what people say. Media and interests play a huge role in most alternative subcultures, style is just a fun little thing
Dude youre playing with fire here, the two hottest types of girls are being merged into one. Just be careful. But no you dont have to dye it
Yeah it’s perfectly fine
If you listen to the music you’re considered goth style has nothing to do with it if ur listening to deftones and calling urself goth then ur wrong but if u listen to goth music ur good
Yes
definitely
Absolutely! Having a different hair color then the usual dyed black hair is completely fine
What kind of blonde, I seen a goth woman that was like gold blonde and she had gold jewelry with her goth look it was unique and beautiful
Yeah, it's not style based, it's music and politics because it evolved from the punk movement.
look up misa amane
yes of course, all you need to dress goth is to be brave enough to withstand heat and have lots of money
well uhh im trying to imagine it and i think that somewhat yes actually
You're talking about dressing in an alternative style, and yes you can
yes, goth is a music subculture not a fashion
goth is music based, and there are goths of every hair color
ask r/goth or r/GothStyle a lot of ppl in the teenagers sub dont even know how to differentiate between goth, emo, and grunge
Yes!! Goth has nothing to do with your hair.
No
yes, you can be a bloth
it’s a subculture based on music and politics, i consider myself goth for those factors, but i dress like i’m nicole from class of 09
Oh sh- A goth blond? Sign me up pleaaaase
Raaahhh no! You are *forced* to have brown or black hair raaahhh. Gatekeep aesthetics raahhhhh
Why are you trying to bring back goth, there's a reason it died with emo
LETS GOOOOO
Remember: the only thing you need to do to be goth is listen to the music. Listen to goth music? You’re goth. The style is extra
Yeah goth blondes look amazing. I think it can be coupled with black makeup very well.
Ye never seen a blonde goth, but ye
yea. it's about the music, not the look.
Of course you can but goth is not a style, gothic is. Anyone can be goth if you listen to the music and have similar beliefs and values. Being blonde doesn’t stop that nor does dressing “regularly”. Now if you wanna be gothic which is the style that goth people wear, then that’s different but yeah you can still be blonde. Just remember gothic is the style and goth is the music and whole subculture. Anyone can be either, but there’s a difference because you don’t have to be goth to be gothic.

Because claiming to be a goth if you’re actually not one or interested in becoming one is just being a poser.
Goth doesn’t have to be dark hair. Thats a stereotype. If you’re goth, you’re goth!
Yes, you can still be part of a Germanic tribe and cause the fall of the Roman Empire
I suppose so? What's your gender, I suppose that might have an impact on it. (Don't take that the wrong way 😅) Since, one of my friends are blonde and they look pretty cool and capture the idea of a "goth" style. (They're male)
YES OMG WITH DARK RED HIGHLIGHTS ARF ARF ARF
Nah you have to have black hair sorry sis, you can have blonde hair and be gothic lol it's just the outfit not the hair color
I'm sort of a goth and emo mixed and my hair is light. It is okay, don't worry
ofc! it’s a style of music that carries fashion with it, but you shouldn’t feel like your hair color or skin color can determine what you can be in a subculture! I have curly brown hair and hazel/color changing eyes and im emo (tho look at gerard way from the 2022/2023 swarm tour and he basically has the same hair as me but slightly lighter)
As long as actually listen to the music you’re goth. And the music isn’t emo or metalcore shit it’s the actual post punk shit.
Nah, go for it! Hair doesn't actually matter
It can contribute to the style, but no, it's not a necessity.
As long as u listen to the music u are goth, plus blonde hair + black outfits is a really cool look so u kinda won 🏅
Blond gang assemble
Goths. Are. Fucking. Amazing.
Yea. There isn’t a law preventing that.
yes of course, why not? black hair has nothing to do with goth, it's about music, style and attitude.
Yeah, but, side note, maybe don’t be goth
yes you don't have to dye your hair, personality and looks don't have to go together you can look really soft and be very emo or wear lots of dresses but still be a tomboy so goths can be blond it that's what you prefer
you'll actually explode
You can be visigoth
YES :))
yes😭☠️
DONT BE GOTH
You can, it shouldn't prevent you from being a goth.
Yeah
Dye hair
