The Blogging Goth

Whenever I’m lucky enough to share my passion for the goth subculture with people, I always anticipate fielding derisory or dismissive views. I smoothly correct them, insisting instead that we should celebrate the worldwide phenomena that is goth – a music genre that emerged from the confusing wreckage of punk, post-punk, futurism, New Wave and more, only to outlast so many subsequent alternative music scenes like numetal, grunge, emo and more.

Well it’s finally happening, and a celebratory exhibition of the goth scene is being assembled in – where else? – Leeds, West Yorkshire. Goth City itself – and you can suggest what should be included.
