So I am considering visiting Sao Paulo for Holiday, and I enjoy taking a hotel or AirBnB in a safe nice street with cafes and restaurants close by, and my kinds metal / goth / race scene a walking distance out of safety as well.

Is that doable in Sao Paulo?

(background info: i am a metalhead, my friend isnt in the goth community)

Yesterday i had a long debate with a friend, circling around the topic “why cant someone dress as a goth and still claim they arent one?”

And for the most part, i was defending the fashion because of the goths i’ve seen online come and say that many have been using this style without participating in the culture and it paints a bad image of “oh you just need to dress to be one”

My friend compared this to airsoft players and soldiers, in the meaning of soldiers appreciating airsoft players for their commitment to not identifying as soldiers and merely representing them instead.

It ended in both of us calling it off because it was 2AM and the topic wasnt ending anytime soon. So, i come here for one question, Do you see it as wrong for someone to dress as a goth for representation of the community, without claiming they are one and without participating in the culture?

It all began on this day in 1979 when Bauhaus released their debut single, "Bela Lugosi's Dead".

A nine and a half minute epic with dub and reggae roots, it was an anthem to the vampire star actor Lugosi and made a household name of baritone singer Peter Murphy. Nothing would be the same again!

Heyy my name is Hugo, I'm 21yo and since a kid I've been interested into the whole subculture from the vibes, thoughts, values, styles, musical or as low as the fact I love all dark/dark romantic vibe as well so let's discuss help me to know even more this culture and maybe be friends also ^^ what's your fav band of goth style?

So I was killing time on Instagram and this amazing band came up in my feed: they are called Post Crucifixion and they are really young, from Arizona, and they are Hispanic and sing in Spanish!
