Trigger warning: Abuse, bdsm, bloodplay, and suicide. 

Most Goths I have known have a history with abuse, parents who weren’t there for them emotionally, this easily evolves into teenager years struggeling with mental health and exhausting relationships with others. If you would come into a relationship as a goth it was normally expected, especially in the 90s to try new experienced stuff and if you didn’t want to do any new sexually experiences, they would say; ew! you’re a vanilla, so basic. For example pinewheels, you would get that onto your back and it would feel like you are getting sliced opend. Blood play, gagging, tying up and all of these things. People will read this and think why would you ever let yourself getted tied up in the first place, get hit and all these kind of stuff. It was very normal in those days, and in these days as being a goth. I’m not talking about people being in their 20′s or 30′s spicing things up and trying new experiments. I’m talking about teenagers, having their first experience in a romantic relationship. Being expected to be heavily tied up and being into bdsm, since we mostly get seen as a sexual object. 

Speaking of my own experiences with my partners, they would hit me and torture me at school. Saying I looked like a piece of shit, wearing too much eyeliner but still think I was attractive because black looks so sexy on me. Tear me down by saying I have low grades, caused by the fact of untreated and undiagnosed autism. It wasn’t acutally weird at all for me, it was actually a big brag for myself getting tortured by others and LOVING it. People can be sexually abused and be attracted to it, they can also LOVE it in the moment. 

There is a lot of mental illness in the goth scene. We look like outsiders and people who feel like outsiders. If we would fit in the normal world, we would actually dress normal. Why would you suddenly start dressing like goth and turning yourself into an outsider if you would fit the normal world. You start dressing goth, and being into goth because you are already an outsider. It’s because there is something different about you, mostly linked with mental health issues. People with mental health issues do not necessarily make for abusive relationships, but I would say most goth(s) (femmes) I know have been in an abusive relationship. Mentall illness often makes you the perfect victim. 

I don’t want to name any particular mental illnesses, but one of the symptoms is being needy. Needing a lot of love, a lot of ressurance, a lot of attention. When you get the love, ressurance and attention it will feel drug-like fix. If you have never ever been in an abusive relationship, it is incredibly hard to understand the drug-like feelings you experience while being in a relationship like that. What it is getting them so hooked is the beginning, it is all going so fast and it will end all so fast. Feeling it must go this fast because this is your ‘soulmate’, thinking it is okay that it is having sonic speed in relationship because that is your destiny, with other terms, the destiny of you and your partners destiny with this relationship. Bad damaging relationships are usually fast, dangerous and full of ‘love’. It will have this tremendously switch out of nowhere and it turns out to be dangerous and harmful for your mental health. Your partner saying stuff, that they will kill themselves if you leave them. That is an abusive tactic. Thinking you need to look after them because they are being the ‘victim’, not doing something harmful to them otherwise they are going to die! It’s an abusive tactic to keep you there, they are quite a lot of more tactics unstable people use. 

This includes for males and females, because females can be abusers too, males can be abused too. Whatever your age is and you are getting into dating, please teach yourself about abusive relationships and the tactics used.

NEW ROCK BOOTS ready to dominate the alternative world!

Today we are showing some appreciation to one of the most influential brands in Gothic Fashion and alternative culture, New Rock Boots!

They are a brand that almost defined a style and inspired gothic clothing everywhere, all around the globe!

They have been worn by some of the more icon bands in goth, industrial, black and heavy metal… and also by characters in Dr Who! Above we have a shot of Cradle Of Filth wearing some New Rock Boots, we wanted to share images of them being worn by God Of F**K Marilyn Manson too but unfortunately pictures of his feet are hard to come by :-/  So you will just have to take if from us Mazza, Dimmu Borgir and a horde of other stars agree with us when we say ‘It is all about NEW ROCK BOOTS!’

So where can you get them?! The internet is full of lame New Rock Drop Shippers with little to no customer service and sour reputations for ripping people off or not delivering for months! Well never fear as we are here with our trust New Rock sister site NEWROCKBOOTSUK.COMwhere you can find the full catalogue of New Rock Boots but with all the reliability of shopping with Kate’s Clothing!

Don’t forget if you need your New Rocks fast, we still have stock at KC ready for next day delivery. There pairs can be found in our gothic shoes and boots section or our dedicated New Rock Boots category… but for everything else try New Rock BootsUK!

Felt I was investing too much in the “spooky vibes” so here is a lil band recommendation: Молчат Дома (Molchat Doma), a Belarusian band that describe themselves as “operating on the borderlines of post-punk, new-wave and darker ends of synth-pop”, personally my favorite track is клетка (kletka).

“Some people say I’m a pussy. I say, you are what you eat.”

Happy heavenly birthday Peter

Here’s the genres / vibes I’m currently listening to.


**NOTE- I said ‘genres/vibes’; because technically the Melancholy playlist is more of a mood+feeling, that has more than one genre. And the Steampunk playlist is the only playlist that is one single genre.

Some new project

This Wednesday I was at the She Past Away concert in Monterrey (MEX).

It was all very nice. Luckily I was able to take a picture with them.

For all of June, in honor of Pride Month 2022, Artoffact Records is offering all of their pre-2022 releases for Name-Your-Price, so you can get them for free if you want. Artoffact Records has released many modern goth acts, such as Actors, Ötzi, Bootblacks, and Kælan Mikla, to name a few.

Harkening back to an era of goth we don’t really cover much on this page, which band book should I read first? We’ve got Unknown Pleasures by Peter Hooke talking about Joy Division, Cured by Lol Tolhurst talking about The Cure, and Who Killed Mister Moonlight? by David J. Haskins talking about Bauhaus
