Exploring Goth Culture on the Tube

hello and welcome to this episode of tube chat a series where I interview strangers on the tube for no reason are you a God I don't like to put labels on myself but the world would call me that yes does that mean you're an emo that's kind of like saying if someone likes vampires they have to like Twilight it's a bit offensive no offensive to heal vampires or Twilight what what's the difference between a gotten an emo so I read a really good quote on Reddit once that said an emo would say the world is dark and there's nothing I can do about it whereas a goth would say the world is dark and I find that beautiful they're completely different musical subcultures so Goths are generally pacifists but what does goth on goth violence look like goth on goth violence uh we'll just leave two Goths in a room with one eyeliner pen and their FS will be bared why don't gots Drive well I drive then you're not a God Is it true that Gods can't be out in this unno for too long I would say yes but sometimes I find it difficult to judge if that's me being Irish as well because I burst into flames quite quickly so in a way guts are a bit like ice creams if you leave them out in the sun for too long they melt this is an ice cream I don't know if gots understand what that that means I mean it's a a very poetic way of putting it I suppose edar alen po yeah yeah I think I remember reading that one yeah right I'm eating you just you're you're just going to have an ice cream now I'm leaving no Chums delightful you are a true poet give me back my mic yeah there you go thanks so do you mind if I munch into the mic if you're going to do an ASMR thing I will leave because it kind ofes me out a bit well the doors are look this way you can yeah you not melt that in your pocket that's impressive oh I only bought it two minutes ago I say you must be quite cold like ice You' be a good goth it' be a good goth yeah cuz you're you're clearly very cold you know cuz you don't melt ice creams in your pocket which is quite fascin cold detached I hang out in cemeteries there you go you're basically a goth yeah is it is it true oh hi is it true that Marlin did I drip ice cream on you no no don't worry I would be gone if you did okay is it true that Marlon Manson got his rib cage removed so he could suck his own dick well if someone who doesn't really support Marlin Monson I wouldn't know too much about the individual but given what I've heard from peers wouldn't surprise me would give them a lot of amusement at the moment probably during their Council era where did Gods go cuz it seemed like they were gone for ages like they they grew up and and like became normal thanks very much I think Goths are still around you just have to kind of look out for them you know whenever they go to the office unfortunately we have to wear our human disguises and whatnot during the day but if you go out at night time they're around they're at the clubs cemeteries Disneyland how come I've never seen a goth push a prom before um I guess gos if we're like vampires we don't really age we're kind of just always like this you know I would ask if you wanted but I have a a serious amount of germs I I would not touch that with a 10ft pole thank you very much well good thing you don't have a 10-ft pole so I think we're talking in hypotheticals here well I am a pole dancer so back in my flat essentially I have a pole oh well there's I guess there I decided I'd oh wait that's not my mic I decided I'd put out an ice cream because this is where potential advertisers could be so uh this is a chalk O So chalk OES um I'm just giving you this is your potential space so maybe you know this is a g beside me like I'm eating an ice cream beside a go which is a really novel thing so maybe you could we're on the tube as well maybe you could just keep that in consideration and next time pay me for like a one minute slot in my video I mean I think you just said you don't even want to finish it and you're going to throw it in the bin but we're going to edit that out what are the most annoying things people ask you as a goth well for me personally I get asked a lot is my hair a wig um I've had people try to snatch it off my head but but I kind of just take it as a compliment that my hair is so good it looks fake I'm actually blonde underneath are you oh so that was sarcasm that was sarcasm yes where do gots Ste their food shop their food shop oo you never see them in Aldi trying to think where would a goth like to sh by the way just to let you know don't turn around now but the sunlight is behind us than thank I mean anywhere you can get some type of like aesthetic black food like a charcoal latte they taste disgusting but they match the vibe so you got to commit to it you know like this is actually not even a thing for the video but it's just something I've noticed within subcultures now whether it's like goth punk emo whatever it is it's like uh Tik Tok is kind of taken all of the like any sort of social commentary or like the mainstream sort of social commentary out of it a lot of these cultures were Bound by like an ethic or like a philosophy whereas now you know it makes sense that uh like Gods would drink charcoal ltis even though they don't taste good I feel like it's like a metaphor for like subcultures in the 21st century in general I love how deep you can get what's your favorite color black Black's not actually a color it marks the absence of color well what color am I wearing right now then absence I I I drank it once and went blind and VI never again if you could only have one thing for the rest of your life would you rather have the Cure or the cure for depression do you ever do anything that's not got I play the clarinet that is so goth I've tried to let people let me join their bands with it and they won't let me so I Al thought it must have been a bit not goth did you go from seeing Kid to emote into baby bath pipeline or did you speed run directly into adult got wow well you've done your research um I basically came out of the womb looking like this do you own any animals well all my pets are actually dead um but I kind of think I contributed towards it I have three tattoos the first one was for my dead fish and then the second one I got as a dedication to my dog Lily and the day I got it the dog died so I'm like a walking human Death Note kind of say less did you do the grades in clar like can you read music oh yeah ptst yeah oh yeah oh I thought you said like PG-13 P yeah P purely PG-13 playet is that's what I do just on the pools swinging around yeah I mean like a clarinet is just like a miniature pole with holes in it essentially yeah it was like you know the Stepping Stones it's like a horizontal pole it's like a pole if we lived in a sideways world like that like you know really beautiful yeah yeah what were we talking about oh yeah so yeah so so in a way then your your skin is like a voodo though yeah and I've kind of wanted to test it with a human so if you would let me try with your name I think it would be kind of fun well I mean I I actually have a life but um I'm sure like some of my followers would let you kill them yeah yeah I feel like they'd actually pay me to let me do it I think that's the only positive thing that's going to come out of this whole Oreal this whole experience yeah kill someone yeah yeah oh maybe let's not say that on a you hopn gumy poop yeah hopff yeah H I didn't know you were in Hufflepuff actually I'm speaking sish but yeah why do GS love hanging out in graveyards well generally the dead are less insufferable than the living I suppose I just like that they're quiet and they don't chew loudly on the train you know like eat ice creams right beside me I I respect that a lot yeah good boundaries yeah yeah I mean generally it doesn't like it's equally as disgusting to eat an ice cream on the tube even if someone is doing it as a bit you know like it's still it's still gross it's just disrespectful and vile they'll just lie there I'll just stand beside them yeah where do guts go during the daytime uh well I like to sit in my cupboard okay now now it's time for Frankie's quickfire word association round it's it's a new uh don't Don't Clap um it's a new topic that we've started this week here's your first picture yeah can you describe for the folks at home what's going on there um happiness Beauty not a color apparently it actually Blends in yeah I hold it up I kind of just disappear right well that's that will get us cancelled that will sorry so this here um is a magp it is so what what came first the magp or the go who wore it better um I feel like I do gain a lot of inspiration from this bird but I also am someone who has a lot of paranoia so I'm really feeling like I need to salute it right now to not get bad luck are you not supposed to salute it if there's two of them no two's good luck if you find one you need to find its friend it's about like a goth as well like they don't like to be alone we're good imp can you explain what you see in that picture so for some reason it said my brain is going directly to Logan Paul because there was that emo image people compared them to um it's also giving me Myspace kind ofen smelling the hairspray fumes from the image you know yeah and it smells like pain tener which is something that we probably both drink well one of us does does apparently okay and last but not least can you explain what you see here I don't know if it's right for me to touch that one it might burst into fls oh yeah you can just hold it I can okay I can hold it uh yeah yeah um I'm getting Primary School PTSD flashbacks but you know as um I just think as as as someone who like worships Satan like like you do I I think I think it's just important to like ask what your opinion is on on um Jesus Christ well I don't worship Satan because in order to worship Satan I would have to have a belief in Christianity and Jesus which I I don't I don't have a faith of that sense of anything I'm more Wiccan I still wicker Wigan like the football team sure sure yeah were you watching the match on the weekend I wasn't but I was hearing all the people iide my window screaming so I kind of knew what was going on you're you're a God yeah um you look at how Chili Peppers By the way I try to say I is this like a football thing are you like trying to teach me Sports waiting for where where do gods hang out what's say graveyards shopping malls toy stores it's either going to be one extreme of super spooky or like a complete different as I've said like Disney like there's no in between maybe you need to bring the spookiness into the Disney places well there's like the Haunted Mansion ride is literally my personality haunted Manson have we anything else that you'd like to say to the people about Goths or goth culture just any concluding statements um Goths don't worship Satan Goths are very kind individuals so don't throw don't throw things at them in the street cuz they're very nice they what do they throw at people just whatever people can just like throw cups or like through mean words you know it's just a form of self-expression maybe I need to start a new clothing brand where I I make clothes for Goths like battle armor yeah I mean the best defense is a good defense you would be such a goth Ally then I would love that yeah a galloy a galloy like in The Gallows yeah I feel like people don't understand my Irish accent I feel like because you're in God makeup for some reason your accent even though it's like even hard for made understand like I feel like you're more palatable to like an English audience because they can kind of understand it CU they go oh it's to God so she can't be Irish do you think Goths can't be Irish yeah but that's kind of the fun thing about Goths is well is because we all kind of like have this look right you meet them and you don't know what sound is going to come out of that mouth and I think people always expected to be like almost like classy British have have you ever met a Welsh God no yeah that's because Wales isn't real yeah I was there and it was just like Lial space like it was crazy people get confused cuz when you get into Cardiff it is it does look like there's people there it looks like kind of a mini worst Dublin but like um it's it's just the same 20 M repeating for endless loop right yeah what does the Welsh Jackson sound like it's not anywhere near England it's like well people would probably say that about Northern Irish too so I feel like can't really judge well well I can judge because I'm not from Northern Ireland yeah so so don't don't worry about it thank thank you for uh listening everyone so just to let you know here I am beside a goth Gods aren't scary but they do have phobias sometimes what what are you afraid of oh Goths well there we have it another episode of chbe chat in
