World Goth Day 2020
 My favorite goth and his dad |
It seems that our fellows have a variety of cultural orientations that they prefer over the standard 9 to 5 workaday world thingie I pursue ... and as such I simply say more power to them.
One of those preferred subcultures is known as 'Goth'.
The Goth subculture is notably of British origin and arose from a derivative of punk music styled after the various apocolypse themes involved in their sphere of interest. The subculture is simply an offshoot of the music but it grew into much more for adherents.
Darkness is the primary pursuit, be it figurative, actual, cosmetic, or wardrobe elements and it is not a commentary on mores so much as personal preferences of projected image.
Today is World Goth Day
Each twenty-second of May goths get to celebrate their being and cultivate their presence among the rest of us.
Originating in the British roots of goth subculture, the day has spread internationally and indeed, there are goth subcultures all over the place anymore.
A celebration of goth subculture in general, World Goth Day is a multifaceted tour de force of fashion, music, makeup, performance art, and those individuals who populate the goth ranks and both enjoy and flaunt their membership as goth individuals.
