Subject: "Mallgoth"
Written By: velvetoneo on 04/16/06 at 3:27 pm
I think that the "goth" subculture, which was huge from like 1995-2002 and typified by stuff like Marilyn Manson and later Rasputina and Voltaire, is another subculture killed by emo. I've observed before alot of people who were big goth people as preteens moved towards emo and "hipster music" by the time they reached their real teenage years in the '00s. Maybe Hot Topic killed it, but it was definitely around through 2002-2003. I just remember wearing alot of black c. 2001 and people labeling my friends and I "goth" and us avidly rejecting it.

How long has the Goth scene and Goth music existed? Who started the whole thing and when?

Don't quite now...possibly part of the Grunge fallout? But I associate them almost wholly with the 90s...

Yeah, they're sort of a 1994-2003 thing that probably peaked around 1999 or 2000.

They certainly peaked around 98-99, with Marilyn Mansion being the poster-child for the whole Goth movement...

It was probably part of the whole post-grunge fallout in alot of ways, as you said. It was one of a multitude of subcultures like skaters (listened to whiny pop-punk and had dyed hair), ravers, nu metal that persisted after grunge faded away a little bit.

Ah yes, skate/BMX culture was huge back in 96-97-98, when I was riding along on the old Ground Zero...
