Today is World Goth Day! Now I am not part of the Goth community however I love the look, the lifestyle, the vibe… all of it! 

The Official World Goth Day site defines it as “a day where the goth scene gets to celebrate its own being, and an opportunity to make its presence known to the rest of the world.” 

This day originated in the UK in 2009, a smaller scale celebration of the gothic subculture inspired from a broadcast of a special set of shows on BBC Radio 6. 

UK-based Goth DJ currently known as ‘BatBoy Slim” (love that name) wrote a Myspace blog suggesting the idea. He and London-based Goth DJ “martin oldgoth” decided to take it globally. 

Here we are today celebrating World Goth Day, where we can shine a black light on the culture like fashion, art exhibitions, music and more. 

Just another day where we are reminded to accept those around us for exactly who they are, we are allowed self expression. That’s what gives us our individuality and uniqueness. 

Don't forget The Cure will be playing Blossom Music Center Sunday June 11th! Can't wait to see you all there. 

So be kind, be rad, be goth and don’t be sad! 

Take care of yourself, 
Love, Carrie Danger
