If I search for 'Male Gothic Fashion', 'Gothic Fashion' or 'Goth for Guys' I am hit with only one thing. Girls! The scene is inundated with huge amounts of girl relevant blogs, advice and fashion advice.
From this, one would get the idea that Men do not care about what they wear, what they look like and importantly, definitely don't write about either. There is a small collection of YouTube videos for hair and make-up but nothing much more than that. It is certainly a girl dominated zone.
Maybe I am just odd. I perhaps lack originality and need advice and guidance. I would disagree, I pride myself on my ability to analyse a look or style and then disseminate it onto myself with my own mark. I see no issue also about writing about it or looking for inspiration.
'How to be a Goth' articles suck. They are far too generic and stereotypical for what I want to achieve. What I want to achieve is found within the blogs and forums online. It is synthesised and extracted from the music I listen to and from the idealistic images in my head.
The true nature of Goth cannot be written down. It is the individualistic interpretation of the music one listens to and the opinions and perceptions we form from it message. We wear the lyrics and their meanings through what we ware and how we act.
