When you travel across the countries and visit their local goth clubs, you start to realize that the atrocities found in your home club are indeed not special and unique, such as yourself. No, see, they're everywhere. Here are a select few that you may run into at a goth club around the world.
A. Often referred to as Squidheads, this group of people can be identified by their dreadfalls, goggles, and faux-military garb along and large boots. They will stand in a corner being pretentious and probably mock you while doing so. Squidheads know all of the DJs and bands in the scene and you don't. They will flee to the dancefloor at the sound of a German air raid siren, which usually announces the beginning of their favorite song.
B. Gothapotamus. Wears shirts such as Bad Kitty, I Do What the Voices Tell Me to Do, striped stockings and animal ears. They will mew and squee at you and dance awkwardly by themselves in the corner. 99% of gothapotamuses are furries. They travel in groups and usually have the underage X on their hand. Most wouldn't be able to tell you what is currently being played unless it's Korn or Rammstein.
C. GothDude, who probably goes by the name Azrael DeathOrchid. You will never be as goth as him, ever. Don't even try to reason, Christian Death was NOT the start of Goth, even though he worships Rozz like any other GothDude does. Despises metal and all forms of rap and will proudly denounce any newcoming bands to the scene. Sometimes it is hard to distinguish GothDude from GothBabe.
D. Juggalo guy, no one knows why he shows up but he just does.
These are too hilarious, I love it. Reminds me of the types of Goths shown in Voltaire's "What is Goth?" book.
Now that being said...
I'm going to have to criticize C's fashion as a fellow GawffDude. That chain is clearly not attached to a Fob Watch, and really High Heels? Please. Look at that abyss black, I bet he's never washed his sweaty outfit. Besides, everyone knows that you're supposed to worship Peter Murphy. What a Poser.
But in all seriousness, I love it.
I've seen the first 3 but never a juggalo at the bar. Guess they have more opportunities to do stupid stuff besides go to the goth bar down here.
You're up in Buffalo, right? I should climb up there some time, my friend DJs up there and goes to school.
Yep we are, it used to have a much more lively scene but the goth-friendly clubs all closed down within a few years of eachother. However there's a new space opening up that we're pretty excited about, it caters to the underground and subversive side of the scene moreso than the goth scene itself and also serves as a yoga studio, figure drawing space and art gallery :O
