Subgenres Exist: Goth Metal is Goth

Anyone ever notice how absolutely mean those "all about the music" Goths are online? I've watched them dogpile, bully, and harass people over "ThE MuSiC" and feel perfectly justified.

Quite honestly, I'm just sick of it. Their awful behavior shows that they really aren't "about the music" at all.

They use music as false justification to keep people out, treat people badly, and make themselves feel more elite. A prime example being Gothic Metal.

The typical response of the "AbOuT ThE MuSic" crowd is to say, "Metal isn't Goth". Which is a bad argument as it completely ignores the reality of subgenres.

A subgenre is the combination of one or more genres. Bands that mix genres are part of both parent genres simultaneously. Such as Amebix being a Punk band and a Metal band at the same time. Likewise, bands within a subgenre won't sound exactly like the parent genres.

According to the "aLl AbOuT ThE MuSiC" crowd, "real Goth music" sounds like The Sisters Of Mercy. And, anything that doesn't sound like this isn't "real Goth". So, what about the bands that mix Metal and Goth Rock?

Their next argument often is, "You have to actually HEAR the Goth Rock influence in the music or it isn't Goth". This is another flimsy attempt at gatekeeping as there are several bands that audibly sound like the Sisters of Mercy mixed with Heavy Metal influence:

And let's not forget that Paradise Lost played at Whitby Goth Weekend alongside Fields of the Nephilim:

If they were truly "all about music", they'd have no issue with including ALL bands that fit their criteria even if they don't like it personally. But they don't and continue to present false arguments to try and "prove" why the above bands "aren't real Goth".

It just shows that they'll continue to move the goalposts so they don't have to be associated with people they don't like. Goalpost movers be like:

I wouldn't be surprised if someone responded to this creating new nitpicky rules that conveniently excludes these bands from the "Tr00 KVLT Gawth band criteria".

As a genuine fan of music, I can't take people like this seriously. You don't have to like it. But if you're going to shove your criteria down everyone's throats you better be consistent.

I tell you what. Even though I feel like this whitby goth weekend wasn't as great an experience as when i went in april (more people, fewer stalls, seemed to somehow get lost more and feel like I missed part of it, and I was exhausted anyway from the last few days) it is still honestly such an inspiring event, I want to dress like that more often everyday, i want to make my own clothes and add lace and ribbons and bats to everything, and I want to cut my hair so I can tease it up better

#it makes me feel good! i just think it should be better organised #include all the stalls that are gonna happen on the map #put signs up! posters! even just street signs! #its a tiny town but i still get so lost and its so difficult to walk #maybe by next april ill have a cane and some comfortable goth shoes #wgw 2022 #whitby goth weekend #wgw
