Momasu goes gosurori

[imomus]

On 5th February I'm playing a concert at Doll Dress in Osaka, described by Digiki as "some kind of weird Goth boutique with a cosplay / Goth theme event on Sunday, I've been there and it was strangely fun".



Flyers for past shows at Doll Dress look very Gothic Lolita (or gosurori), so I'll try and choose my most frilly, chilly and darkly romantic songs to please the girls. Here are the details:

Goth for Yen. It's all we can expect from poop star whores. Fashion or otherwise.

Again, a gothic lolita club is not a goth club. I promise you would search these frilly thrilly girls' record collections in vain for Nine Inch Nails or Bauhaus.

How many people who call themselves Goth in 2006 would admit to owning those records either, sir? :)

NIN is a 90s reference, sure. But the young fashion goths I know in Berlin are still very much into Joy Division and Bauhaus. I'm talking about students in their early 20s. As for the mall goths, well, I can promise you that gosuroris are also not going to have Cinema Strange, Black Ice, and Antiworld records at home either. THEY ARE NOT GOTHS!

'Goth' was a term of derision I used to mock other teenagers in high school -- not as a reference to white make-up and black clothes (cowboy hats and shit-covered boots were more the norm), but as an allusion to actual German barbarians.

I hope you hurled a lengthy footnote with each slander!

How many true goths would even call themselves goth?

Thank goodness. Sounds a bit more promising. I went to a goth night here in North Eastern America dressed in a blue raincoat, red fishnets, grandma slippers, large faux grandma glasses, an overbearingly huge hat, and I carried an umbrella in case the club should rain tears. Surprisingly, the goths complimented me on my horrid attire. I was quite incensed by this at first, then I found it extremely amusing. I though maybe I had set a new trend. Bauhaus shirts stared at me from dark corners. I opened my umbrella and flew away.
