The Many Faces of Goth: From Post-Punk Origins to Pastel Goth and Beyond

When you hear the word goth, you probably picture black clothes, spooky music, and maybe a graveyard aesthetic. That’s real—but it’s only one small piece of a much bigger story. In this video, we explore goth as a living, evolving subculture—not just a look or a genre, but an interconnected world of music, fashion, art, literature, and philosophy. We rewind to the late 1970s and the birth of goth from post-punk, track the “Big Bang” moment of Bauhaus’ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” (1979), and jump across the world to the theatrical American energy of LA deathrock. From there, we break down early divisions like Romantic Goths vs Rivetheads, then fast-forward to the controversial mainstream era of Mall Goth—and why, for many people, it became the gateway into deeper goth history. Finally, we look at how the internet fractured the scene into countless online identities like Nu Goth, Pastel Goth, and even Health Goth, proving the culture didn’t die—it adapted. So what connects a deathrocker in 1979 to a pastel goth on Instagram today? Maybe it’s not a single band or outfit… maybe it’s a shared mindset: finding beauty in darkness and constantly asking the question—what is goth?
