Elitism in the 90s Goth scene.

“We'd show up at a club and the local [Goth] scene kids would be there. They'd get in early because they knew the people putting on the event or whatever. It would be like this taking over. We were on tour going from show to show and these scene kids would take over the backstage and we would be pushed off to the side in the corner. It was this weird thing where we're there to play a show and they didn't want us there. During the Stark Corner tour, back in that day everything was 'snail mail'. He [Mike Vanportfleet] used to get handwritten letters from people. He answered every single letter that he ever got (sometimes he'd send out cassettes). There was a girl that he was writing to a lot and she's like, "I'm going to be at your in-store". So he's at the In-Store, and there's this other guy hanging out with him that's mega Goth. And here's Mike sitting there with his plain white t-shirt and jeans and they're sitting at this table. So, the girl comes up and starts talking to the other guy saying, "Oh my god, I can't believe we're finally meeting. I bought you these vintage postcards" and gushing about this and that. And the guy is like, "I'm sorry but this is Mike". She literally dropped the cards, turned away, and never spoke to him [Mike] again. These are the kinds of things we'd experience. I can remember so many times playing in these uber cool Goth clubs. We would start our music before we went on stage because we had a long intro. We would just stand out in the crowd. I remember in Columbus [Ohio], we were standing in the crowd and people were looking at us like, "who the hell are you? You don't fit here". Then we walked on stage and you physically could see their faces go "Oops!".” — Tara Vanflower of the band Lycia

#14 Lycia - Cold

"Cold (1996) is the fifth studio album released by darkwave band Lycia. A dreamy, ambient album perfect for listening to on a still-dark winter morning. Track six, Drifting, is my favorite ^_^"

"Ethereal wave is an underrated genre in the current goth scene and this band is a perfect example of it. Sort of resembles shoegaze with all the layered sound. Great for a contemplative night walk (or background music for your Vampire the Masquerade campaign)"

listening links: youtube / bandcamp / spotify / apple music

The Delian family in Lycia, all based on this passage:

"Leto, after giving birth to Apollon and Artemis on the isle of Asteria, went to Lykia (Lycia), taking her children with her, to the baths of [the River] Xanthos (Xanthus). As soon as she arrived in that land, she came first upon the spring of Melite and wanted very much to bathe her children there before going on to Xanthos. But some herdsmen drove her away so that their own cattle could drink at the spring. Leto made off and left Melite. Wolves came out to met her and, wagging their tails, led the way, guiding her to the River Xanthos. She drank the water and bathed the babes and consecrated the Xanthos to Apollon while the land which had been called Tremilis she renamed Lykia (Wolf Land) from the wolves that had guided her. Then she returned to the spring to inflict a penalty on the herdsmen who had driven her away. They were then still washing their cattle besides the spring. Leto changed them all into frogs whose backs and shoulders she scratched with a rough stone. Throwing them all into the spring she made them live in water. To this day they croak away by rivers and ponds." - Antoninus Liberalis, Metamorphoses 35 (trans. Celoria) (Greek mythographer C2nd A.D.)

The ancient city of Kibyra is a true treasure trove of historic remains that once rivaled the famous Lycia! Discover how this rising city-state managed to establish itself outside the boundaries of Lycia and become a regional power, and how it was able to establish a federation with other towns.
