    Asserting the notion that Gothic architecture has no original basis in the European mind and is merely an amalgamation of Arab, Mediterranean, and Armenian influences makes me want to tear them down. They come across as foreign occupation buildings under that narrative. Can the Germanics and the imagination of Abbot Suger have any credit?

    Great, some more moulds we can pour ourselves into… just read literature, read the classics, watch art house movies and the classics, study, go to university, practice a sport, go to the theatre, visit museums, galleries, libraries… culture yourself, expand your horizon… there is no need to turn yourself in a walking cosplay character

    Life saver! I have some gothic books and they're all my favourites, but I had trouble with finding more, because there's basically no information about them + they're super hard to find [for example Woman in black, I wanted to read it, google says it is gothic, but I can't even confirm, because it's nowhere to be find in my country]. So thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Now I have recommendations to search for and read for years to come <3

    Good video overrall, but: Eroguro kei actually does not exist, at least not as a subgenre/substyle of visual kei. The bands fans here in the west tend to classify as "eroguro" are either misshitsu/chikashitsu kei, kote kei or loud kei. What we call "angura kei" are actually two substyles misshitsu kei (and its many alternative names) and wafuu kei, which have completely different aesthetics and are based/inspired by different periods of Japanese history. It's "Osare kei", not "oshare kei".

    This is really good, but I go one step further. Honestly I take the gender label on the item or style, and throw it away. With few exceptions all clothing is genderless, and the androgyny of the scene is what pulled me into the scene. I wear gowns, dresses, skirts, leggings, catsuits, flowy blouses, "Men's" dress shirts, tights, heels, pikes...etc, and all while presenting as male, even if quite "feminine" looking. Goth is the perfect setting to test out such styles, but it's even better getting them out of the confines of goth events and out in the mainstream. :P
