Dublin Goth New Wave Movement, 1989

Described as “a poser’s paradise”, Grafton Street in Dublin - a look at youth culture, fashion and trends in “goths”, “cure-heads” and teenagers who prefer not to be labelled about their clothes and music.

what a great find. That was the year I first lived in Dublin

[@dianechristineoconnor6361]

To be fair, Grafton is still a bit of a 'poser's paradise'

The blonde girl 😍😍😍😍

[@MrAsaf1984]

That blonde girl is cute.

[@chaosmagnet1334]

LOL the shade of it all...
I'm laughing at the editing of the video- case in point:
*Asks if they consider themselves "Cureheads" & she replies "Oh god no..!" -basically insinuating those people are posers lol
Video then follows up with group that identifies themselves as "Cureheads" HAHA 😅

Thanks for the input. There's an "uncensored" version of this video here :

What's wrong in being goth-irish ?☻🖤👍

[@StillCloser]

There's nothing wrong about being gothic, Irish or a combination of both, quite the contrary, ;-)

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

Im a Curehead and I'm not Goth.

[@alvarovaldovinos6836]

Back when goths were badasses,
Back when goth style wasn't emo shit
Back when goth people had great tastes like The Cure, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus and other Post Punk/New Wave stuff. Today's goths are into Marilyn Manson and nu metal shit.
Good times :(

[@abangemirzaihanabangzulkip9502]

And that my friend, is what you called posers, not goth. There are people who are still into trad goth music and there are number of mondern goth bands who have influence their music with an 80s style, whether its darkwave, post punk, coldwave, deathrock, goth rock etc.

[@euphemia6873]

I‘m still one of those people. I don‘t give a fuck about what other people or goth posers dress like. It‘s their style and their choice. Just be yourself. :) Trad Goth is such a great fashion. Have a nice day.

@@kaori_kanzaki Goths aren't obligated to only listen to goth music. Everyone has different sorts of music tastes. I see where your coming from though. I wish there were more goths that listen to all the classics

[@kaelee2234]

I love nu metal and marilyn but I also love siouxsie and the cure and shit like that. I'm a trad goth and I love 80s music. Dont bash today's goths.
