imomusOn 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".

Date: 2006-01-20 11:53 pm (UTC)"In Japan, Goth is a very minor subculture with few followers, partly because the emphasis upon visual identity in Japanese youth culture makes other factors such as music and literature less important signifiers and perhaps partly because Christianity and Germanic culture are not integral parts of society.
In Japan, people who have heard the term "Goth" usually assume that it refers to "Gothic Lolita", except for the Goths themselves, who strongly emphasize the differences. (Likewise, some western observers incorrectly assume that "Gothloli" is the Japanese version of "Goth".)"

Date: 2006-01-21 12:36 am (UTC)And is it right to actually assert that there is such a difference when this event in itself clearly shows that "Gothic Lolita" do identify with important cultural signifiers?
If I remember correctly- your article clearly listed the different kinds of Goth and the different cultural signifiers associated with them. Fetish Goth, Suicide Girls etc. The only difference with the Wikipedia article that you have provided is that it claims there is no cultural signifiers which "Fashion Goth" depends on. Since there is a "Boutique" devoted to this fashion and since they obviously provide an outlet of culture I would say that this assertion is false.
Your argument basically reads "Since something is not defined it can't be put into a category that is already defined".

Date: 2006-01-21 03:53 am (UTC)"Japanese people tend not to be fashion goths, or into kitsch. Even the black lace Gothic Lolitas in Japan are something else, really. They're human mille feuille cakes, not goths. I think it's because Christianity has never meant anything in Japan..."
This all gets rather theological and pedantic, but as far as definitions go, not only am I and Wikipedia on the same page, I was quite clear about my definitions from the start.

Gothic Lolita is Decora's stylistic close cousin, a black-and-white version.

Date: 2006-01-21 10:31 am (UTC)To answer the earlier nitpickers (who fail to understand that it's fashionable nihilism you were objecting to rather than something monolithic called "goth") I will say that I know nobody who is brimming fuller with lust for life than she. There's nothing about gothic lolitas that seeks death-- it's all about elegance, and miles of lace.
