11 hours agoCybergoth is one style outta many, most larger festivals have many different styles represented, so it’s not all like that.

heavily concentrated around major cities
Right, but when a goth band wants to make a video on the cheap, what do they do? Take a camera out into the forest!
You might be hard pressed to find any cybergoths in the wild,
There are still meetups at festivals like Amphi and WGT, see here for various links: https://piefed.social/search?q=cybergoths+Amphi&community=1277&language=0&search_for=posts
tho yeah, I don’t think people dress cybergoth on the daily unless they’re an influencer or something.
Funny you should ask that, I was just trawling around looking for memes to post on [email protected] and came across this classic image:
It’s from like 2007 but still got a lot of truth. See here for a breakdown of the various “stereotypes” of goth types by the same artist, many of which do not involve monochrome: https://www.deviantart.com/trellia/gallery/25271332/goth-stereo-types
If you check out pics from last summer’s Wave Gotik Treffen, you’ll notice that yeah, black is the baseline but it’s not exclusive: https://piefed.social/post/883617
As for your question “why?” idk but wikipedia says:
The anchor that holds all elements of dark culture together can be viewed as the color black with all its associated symbolism. It is seen as an expression of seriousness, darkness and mysticism, but also of hopelessness and emptiness, melancholy, as well as its association with mourning and death.[2][6]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_culture
But a lot of tradgoths will say you don’t have to dress or act any certain way to be “goth”, you just gotta enjoy the music. idk tho, I’m more into industrial!
@[email protected], are you an expert in this kind of line too?
2·2 days agoFwiw whenever I tell my friends about us, I point them to my feeds of lemmy communities with less politics and tech:
that site is odd… looks like we have to go to https://lemmyverse.net/ and THEN click “communities”…
Yeah, feeds are neat bc they’re user-curated, they’re easy to copy, and you can easily tell which communities are active.
Your proximetry metrics is a good idea too, I bet it would work best in a tool like the Lemmy Explorer: https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Here’s my approach: over the holidays I suggested lemmy to 3 people I know. I did so by emailing or texting them links to the following piefed feeds of lemmy communities:
The first is non-political, non-tech, low-meme communities (tho sometimes those topics sneak in.) The second is non-political, non-tech meme/humor communities. One peson said they thought it was neat, the other said they bookmarked it, the third didn’t say anything. Dunno if they joined.
8·4 days agoYeah, a good coach will work with you to identify the strengths that your specific body-type provides, and train you to that.
After you create the communities, take a look at [email protected] for ideas and help on how to “grow” them. Especially there’s a weekly thread that you might find helpful.
Clausewitz, On War, bc I’m interested in military history. I have a bunch of books in storage, and it’s the only one I really miss. The Howard/Paret translation is the best. Handel’s “Masters of War” has a great explication (besides the one that Howard/Paret provide.)
hey, if you want a feed of lemmy communities that aren’t focused on memes, politics, or tech, look at this: https://piefed.social/f/highsignal
Memes are very low-effort
Funny you should say that, I’ve spent like 4-5 hours revising a kinda niche vampires meme for posting soon. But yeah, most memes are a lot lower effort.

- Oishinbo

- Kaiji
I keep a couple feeds of lemmy communities that don’t focus on politics or tech (though sometimes those topics sneak in):
Surprised no-one said A People’s History of the United States.
3·10 days agoMost countries have some kind of “disaster preparedness” suggestions, be they for earthquakes, floods, tornados, WMDs, etc. A lot of these suggestions overlap: have a stock of food, know where important documents are, think about where you’d shelter, etc.
There will probably not be an extinction-level event. But at some point in your life you may experience an emergency where you need a stock of food, to know where your documents are, to have a place to shelter, etc. So maybe it’d help you out to make plans for what you’d do in case of a general emergency/disaster.
Here are a couple useful documents that were made in the US:
I use feeds on Piefed. Take a look at these feeds with less politics and less tech:
- (less memes): https://piefed.social/f/highsignal
- (memes/humor): https://piefed.social/f/highmemecontent
back when I used lemmy instead of piefed, I read by “new / subscribed” and only subscribed to those communities.
“goth” means different things to different people. sorry, I’d write more but I’m comin down with a cold or something.
ok how about this:
