Re: Short Elaboration Posted by Luna on 2/18/2008, 10:52 am, in reply to "Re: Short Elaboration " 64.12.117.17 What excuses? & as I stated, I really don't remember XD, though I also did state that this is a good resource of information, so I guess I was directing it ppl outside the culture, like I said, I don't remember. I kind of have a one tracked mind right now, going through hell in the culteral wars(unrelated to Goth) & I can't bring myself to remember. Though I must admit, what I typed sounds rather dumb, so I'm not sure if I want to remember XD I need to rephrase what I wrote --Previous Message-- : I don't think you have to make so many excuses : Luna. : You expressed your opinions on what goth is, : from a gothic view. I didn't agree with you : in everything, but I think that is the magic : that has kept the goth culture alive for : almost 30 years. The fact that everybody : have their own opinion on, what goth is. : I think, what confused me and Blckencht and : Doc was, that we weren't sure if your post : was directed at us, the regulars on the : board or at the people from 'outside' the : culture, who come here to learn about it. : : Tass : : : --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : We're goths here too you know? And for the : record, you'll find that goths do have a : tendency to define and define and define the : definition out of goth inside out. Go on any : goth site or community and you'll see it : happen time and time again. : : : The reason medieval cathedrals were labelled : gothic was because the people who labelled : them so were trying to insult them. They : preferred classical architecture and chose : to call them gothic because gothic came to : mean barbaric and uncouth. : : Regarding gothic literature and it's : influences and developments there are plenty : of books and websites you can read that will : inform you on the subject. The same goes for : goth music which started with Bauhaus, : Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division and : The Cure (whether they're goth or not). : There's a lot of research and literature : available on goth music as well as films : that draw influences from gothic literature : and later films that have had an impact on : the goth scene. : : You're the first person I've heard talk : about these 'five components of goth'. For : many people goth is about the music firts : and foremost but that depends on which : internet community you go visiting. : : : : Must of been awhile ago, I don't even recall : typeing that XD : I read over what I wrote, duno what the hell : I was thinking it sounds so crazy. : I thought I mentioned that it was started by : the banchies(I only gave 1 example, though I : know there were more, as you stated). : I kind of figured that Gothic was ment to : insult the Gothic Cathedrals(I thought I : typed that too along with that other thing I : typed),, I kinda had to figure that out on : my own though,some one told me it was used : in the term as "enlighting", which : doesn't really make any sense that it would : be used as an insult & then some how be : used as a complament. As for the "5 : gothic compnents" I doubt I"m the : only 1 who thinks that, just probably the : only 1 who puts it that way to shorten it : up. The 5 asthetics that created what it is : now from the literature on, the lituerature, : art, music, style, & sometimes make- up. : I admit I probably shouldn't labile them : components, that does sound dumb. A for what : I said first off, like I said, I don't : remember, I was probably in one of my : dumbfounded " oh so smart " : moods, if you know what I mean(i think I may : be bipolor). However, it is hard to find a : relabile reource online. A good percentage : are either written by ppl who aren't even : Goth or would be ones who claim to worship : Satan. Not that this site does. I've scanned : over it a bit, it seems like a reliable : source, well formed, so I don't know what I : was thinking when I commented that. My : apology. : : : Message Thread: Short Elaboration - Luna 1/13/2008, 4:27 pm Re: Short Elaboration - blckencht 1/20/2008, 2:16 pm Re: Short Elaboration - Luna 2/17/2008, 8:04 am Re: Short Elaboration - Tass 2/18/2008, 4:27 am Re: Short Elaboration - Luna 2/18/2008, 10:52 am Re: Short Elaboration - Tass 1/21/2008, 4:29 am Re: Short Elaboration - blckencht 1/21/2008, 2:04 pm Re: Short Elaboration - Doc 1/31/2008, 2:45 am « Back to thread Post a Response
