We can use the word ‘gothic’ to refer to literature, music, fashion, and even an entire lifestyle. It’s hard to describe this nuanced subculture with just a few words, but to put it simply, a goth is someone who finds beauty in things others consider dark.But to provide you with a better explanation, we decided to take a look at the Instagram account ‘Gothik Soul’ and the memes it shares. Fromfriendshipsto dating,work, and beyond — they perfectly portray how the world looks when you view it through this group’s lens.More info:InstagramThis post may includeaffiliate links.RELATED:“Goth style is complex,“Tim Sinister, the man behindThe Blogging Goth, a website that covers the culture, toldBored Panda. “It’s instantly recognizable when you see it, yet hard to fully define in mere words.““Since coalescing over four decades ago, it’s constantly reinvented itself while also maintaining a spectacular somberness that continues to entice new adherents. It encompasses so many people, from original fans of The Cure since ‘79, to teenagers emerging right now with a love for bands like Vision Video or Lebanon Hanover.“Because of some surface-level media portrayals and people’s tendency to oversimplify things we don’t understand, there are also several misconceptions about the community. “People may be surprised that goths have an excellent sense of humor; as ‘Gothik Soul’ proves, we live, we laugh, we loathe!” Tim Sinister said.“My audience onThe Blogging Gothparticularly enjoys the most current, cutting-edge memes. Beyond that, people should let go of the idea that goths are violence-loving, devil-worshipping misanthropes who consume joy and excrete sadness. Sure, some of us may lean into that image, but in reality, goth is a subculture that attracts people from all walks of life,” he added.As a longtime member of the scene, Tim Sinister wants people to forget the stereotypes of goths being skinny white vampire clones and start embracing all the different ways they can engage with the music and other aspects of the culture, regardless of who they are.“Hand in hand with that, people need to stop sexualizing goth women—it’s an endemic online problem that reduces complex individuals to unreal fantasies and is unfair,” he said.Tim Sinister explained that since goth is such an influential subculture, it offers something for everyone, whether they’re drawn to its classic roots or the fresh, creative energy it continues to inspire. “I’d encourage everyone to observe how goth encourages innovation and creativity, whilst also trying to stay true to its origins! We have classic bands fromthe ‘80splaying huge festivals across the world, inspiring brand new bands to form and support them—I love that cycle more than anything else!” he shared.“Beyond that, goth at its best supports glamorous creativity and acceptance of differences, both of which are traits we could all benefit from embodying,” Tim Sinister said.“We have a rare freedom, I always say. Goths can listen to any music they want at all beyond the goth genre, but others seem scared of what might happen if they listen to goth music—the only real risk is that they love it, and fall into our spooky scene!“Hopefully, these memes will help bridge the gap!See Also on Bored PandaContinue reading with Bored Panda PremiumUnlimited contentAd-free browsingDark modeSubscribe nowAlready a subscriber?Sign InSee Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaSee Also on Bored PandaModal closeAdd New ImageModal closeAdd Your Photo To This ListPlease use high-res photos without watermarksOoops!
