25 Goth Posts I'd Read in a Heart Beat

Sometimes, all it takes to know that I don't want to read a blog post is the title. Some of them seem dull, and I can tell by others that reading them would take up way too much of my time. There's a whole science to making people read your blog posts just by the titles, but I know nothing about this science except that it exists. Still, I know the kinds of posts I'd love to read, so here are 25 Goth posts I'd read in a heart beat.


  1. My Goth Grandma

  3. How Nick Cave's mustache changed my life 
  4. Dave Vanian and Other Proof That Vampires Really Exist
  5. Paleo-Goth Yuppies: The Plague of 2014?
  6. Einsturzende Neubaum and other unpronouncable Goth bands

  14. How Can You Tell It's a Phase If You're Still In It, you Little Shit? and other retorts to your Goth spawn's whinging.

    Wow, your classes must REALLY be boring today! These are great!! :-) Hopefully one of my grandchildren will write #1 about me. But that may take awhile, since they're not born yet... And please promise you WILL let me know if you ever see a DIY for a coffin mattress!!

    "4. Dave Vanian and Other Proof That Vampires Really Exist"

    PREACH. That man is fucking deathless. I saw the Damned in concert a few years ago and I could not believe that Dave is my mother's age. I've been kind of obsessed since.

    Actually, that concert included one of my favorite crowd-watching stories-- there was a well-dressed middle aged soccer mom standing next to me stage side in pearls and a sweater set who knew all the words to every song and had a recent glamor shot of Dave as her background on her phone. It's always reassuring to see someone who's grown out of the goth/punk aesthetic, but aren't embarrassed or apologetic about it.

    (Also, word to boring classes. That's why I'm delurking to ramble about concerts. Haha.)

    I think you have some ideas there for writing your own blogposts. I'm useless in coming up with witty blogpost titles.

    Aha! I love this list so much. I'm going to send it to my friend and persuade her to write the post 'How Nick Cave's mustache changed my life'!

    I often give my posts really silly titles, I hope it doesn't put people off reading them!
