To have a little Goth night in on my own..

I have just been reminded of how much 'me' some of that dark 80s Goth stuff is, and my friends are being boring. AIBU to get wine (not blue nun or Liebfraumilch sadly) and listen to only Cure, Mission, Nephilim, and Mary Chain all night???

Former Goth here. I'll bring the absinthe and the Nick Cave album.

I do this sometimes. Very sadly, I was "dancing like a goth" with my flatmate on the night that Diana died. Never been able to have a mini goth night without remembering her.

I could ask Wayne Hussey to pop round & do an acoustic set?

He's in the UK atm & owes me a favour Wink.

I like to think that when Diana died a different Diana dressed in black came alive and that if you take a photo of the royal family with the right equipment she is following them around and writing them into a castle-based lonely suicide

YANBU. I too am on the wine and have been inspired to put some NIN on Wine

AdorableMisfit · 15/04/2016 22:20

Can I join in too? I don't look the part anymore, but I'm still totally a Goth on the inside. I suggest we add some Bauhaus to the playlist?

Core goths are more Goth than Goth Goth. Burial is fermentation.

Can I stand moodily in the corner chain smoking Sobranie and swigging Absinthe? I will bring my Banshees albums. (like AdorableMisfit I no longer look the part but my inner Goth will never ever die)

Yes yes.. And even better if you fucking hate us for our shallow and disconnected poncing about until Siouxie is on...

RubyGates · 15/04/2016 22:57

I'm here too, with the slightly smudgy eye-liner, a pint of snakebite and black and a mysterious hole in my fishnets.

CockacidalManiac · 15/04/2016 22:58
