Pastel Goth is a type of goth that originated during the late 2000s and it eventually spread on tumblr in the 2010s. It mixes the traditional goth style and dark themes with pastels and maybe some kawaii themes.
How do I wear pastel goth?
Although everyone’s style is different, there are 2 main ways I’ve seen people wearing pastel goth.
1. You could wear all pastels and accessorize with dark themes
2. You could wear a dark goth outfit and accessorize with pastels
Think of an opposites attract theme like “Sweet but psycho”, “toxic sugar”, or “creepy cute.”
No matter what, if your outfit is giving off pastel Halloween vibes your good 👍
Examples:
Why was it so controversial?
Pastel goth was/is a controversial type of goth because of the different ways people have viewed the style. Either some people believe that pastel goth is a watered down version of goth or they don’t like the style because some pastel goths don’t listen to the goth music. (Two of the controversies I’ve heard so far)
Do we need to listen to the goth music?
YES!!!!! Just because pastel goth includes more lighter colors, or is a bit different from other goths, DOESNT MEAN we don’t listen to the music.
You don’t ONLY have to listen to goth music, you’re aloud to listen to any genres you want, as long as you also listen to goth.
Goth bands I recommend; Switchblade Symphony (linked in one of my other posts), Strawberry Switchblade, The Cure, Bauhuas, Garbage, or The birthday Massacre.

Last song I listened to:
btw it’s a great song for working out, at least for me it got the right vibes xd
Currently watching:
• Drive to Survive (with my dad, it’s like our weekend routine to make popcorn and watch all the drama xd… plus I'm actually curious about the next season coming out soon, I'm tempted to place bets about what situations they're going to exaggerate and who's gonna hate who 😽)
• Break Point (it’a literally Drive to Survive, but about tennis lol 😭 I randomly found out about this when I was trying to learn basics about tennis for a requested social media au with Oscar and a tennis player and it's actually pretty interesting xd It's probably very dramatic and biased, because it’s another Netflix “documentary”, but hey... at least I know what's a Grand Slam now, so that's a step forward xd also I had no idea that tennis is such a brutal sport, like respect to all the players 🫣)
• The Traitors (reality show that’s mix of Survivor and Big Brother, it’s kinda interesting… I'm currently watching the 1st season of the USA version and it seems like the Traitors are going to win and outsmart the Faithfulls… honestly, I'm on their side xd)
• Love Island Česko & Slovensko (I just realized I'm literally only watching reality shows and Netflix dramas about sport... oh well 😭 anyway, I’m finishing the 2nd season of Love Island version from Czech Republic and Slovakia, it's the only season out of the current three I didn't see yet. I actually tried the UK and USA versions of LI, but idk, it feels kinda fake to me, probably because the people there are too dramatic and I can't imagine acting like that in real life xd So the “home version” is better for me 🫶)
Currently obsessed with:
• formula 1... obviously 🏎🏎
• that video of Taylor Swift and Travis partying 😩💞
• formula 1 again, but specifically all the drama going around rn xd
• the fact that next season of Czech & Slovak Survivor comes out in like two weeks and I hope they won't screw it up 🥥🌴
