Why does everyone want a goth girl

[Apteryx]

This is a legitimate question. I often see jokes about people wanting goth girls, but what's so exciting about them?

A big thing too with selling out. Was when it became a thing, or it became known that many bands didn't really play live. They pretended to play while pre-recorded music played. And some would say that they wanted to play live, but the contracts made them do it. I believe nirvana got really angry at it once.

Sometimes it was a scandal if say the singer got distracted or the mic got away from them, but the singing went on because it was the recording.

Like it happened to paris hilton, which wasn't that shocking to people. But some others. Like sometimes a band couldn't sing well at all. And the singing was provided by people who had the voice, but not the looks or widespread appeal.

Huh so even Paris's regular speaking voice was fake all these years too?

There was some serious bs went on for years and years on Top of the Pops and other shows on bands not being allowed to play live.
Ever any technical balls up and they just looked stupid.
Nice one Nirvana!

First time I heard Nirvana was the Muddy Banks and only Unplugged after it could ever make me happy listening to them outside of the Muddy Banks.

Paris's real voice?
I thought it was the interviewers voice a British accent in all its normality.

Cannot speak for her singing but I liked her in Nine Lives and think if she dropped 'the act' of her reality show type life she could have become a good actress.
Just my humble opinion that nobody else shares.

They are often cute little vampires or witches.

Also they often like the same type of books, music, shows and movies as I do.

I have never met a REAL Goth that is vegan.

Every Goth girl I met was a meat eater, no need to say anymore than that.

Yeah its a shame, because when Paris's first songs came out, they were fire.

First one makes me think UB40 feel.

Second one, I think could do with a little more edge and bit more Green Day / American Pie film type of feel to it.

I would not have expected them to be Paris Hilton if i heard it on the radio.

They have good taste in music and possibly literature as well.

[Rio]

I think what the internet really did was make everyone aware that actors and singers were people just like them. As deeply flawed and wrong. Because people used to worship the ever living death out of celebrities.

Like with Paris there saying all this time her voice was fake. Which makes one think everything was fake, even the moments people ripped on her.

I always forget this was jessica and not paris https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8al1LR0zPig

One less explored trope which was fun, was the goth girl with the cheerleader best friend/partner.

The dynamic between dark and light.

Paramore - Misery Business

For me where I am from Punk is more about being against the grain of society, its wooden structure of the 70s / 80s and just saying get screwed to generally everything.
I like Punk music and culture but if I went to a concert and someone spat or puked on me they would get a very physical response.

that track I like it for me in the region of Garbage / Republica groups I really liked (and still do) when I was a teenager back in the 90s.

Garbage Only happy when it rains.

Speaking if I was in the 90s I would call Paramore Misery Business , Indy. Which may mean something bit different in different areas of the world.

How to define Goth music for me....Goth to me is The Vampire Chronicles, I have read a few books at least of them (sort of merged together I liked them so much) and The Crow with Brandon Lee (the sort of spooky way he went and looking at his Father's movies sort of entwined into it). I am watching the series now on Archive obviously a different actor and not as edgy feeling. I like the supernatural as it keeps physic type questions always open.

So to answer the previous paragraph could I listen to the music while reading Vampire Chronicles (Interview With the Vampire, and the books about Lestat etc) or maybe reading something from James Herbert like Magic Cottage or Creed.

I am not very good of definitions for the generally accepted genres just going by how I feel towards them.

Do they? I'm sure most average guys would be content with just "any" girl.

But you do not need to be into metal to be a goth though...

alot of goths say it is a music based culture more than a fashion one and alot of them do tend to listen to that genre so I would say more likely uwu

Goth is just fashion trend, music has nothing to do with it v:

Maybe some want to get their role more deeper, but nah, music has nothing to do with it...
