That's Goth AF, lol
Goth specifically is so ironic and romantic, because the people who birthed it by and large denied associating with it (Siouxsie Sioux, Robert Smith), so it's hard to really nail down outside just experiencing the music and the art and existing in it. To concur with your comment, I think that's by and large the soul of the goth subculture: Fleeting, romantic, and beautiful, while unpretentious. But that's just my two cents.
Don't forget the Damned
@@Aaron-zh4kj aaaw you make it sound so lovely. I remember the 80s when I thought I was normal but the normal night clubs would not allow my best friend and I to enter.. so we entered the only clubs that would have us.. which was where all the Goths went... so I guess it was Goths and other random misfits.
Goth is what others call them ,,,,they just use that word to describe themselves to the masses.
It's also ZEN AF
Looks: Dark, somber, gloomy
Personality: *intense giggling"
thats goth hahaha
i love them for it
so sinister down in Florida 🤣

@@MomoKunDaYo huh
These kids are all so nice and polite and yet the interviewer sounds so annoyed and condescending
She was quite bothered by the way they were using the rosary beads it seems.
The interviewer wasn't condescending in my opinion, she was genuinely interested in their style choice and asking about it from an unbiased standpoint
@@X2LR8 because Ireland was extremely Catholic then and it would have been seen as fairly disrespectful and sacrilegious to use them like that.
@blue star ...just ask Colin Kapaernick...
The interviewer will be following the media’s agenda
"Do you like annoying adults?"
"Well yeah, they annoy us."

And the girl is very beautiful
Now is a 50 years old woman with an husband, two children, a cat and a semi detached house in Dublin suburbs
@@marcotd7923 Wow that's interesting! How do you know this, if I may ask? Are you friends with her? I bet she had a lot of fun back in the day, I know I would if I lived back then but I wasn't born until '96.

"We listen to The Cure"
"only one group??"

YES
These kids are golden. So well spoken and kind, trying to find their own identity in the world. I hope they only have fond memories from that era : )
not memory part of our cultures
Those kids at the start are from South Dublin, which is a wealthier part of Dublin. Lovely kids though.
I was just thinking how far humanity has fallen. Now you'd get blank looks and dumb wildly inaccurate things said they read on social media.
@@BlazingOwnager I've seen today's teenage Goths , they are pretty much the same and are sharp as a tack.
There is new Goth music coming out still to this day and there are about as many Gen Z becoming Goth as there were Gen X or Millenials from what I can see anecdotally.
Unfortunately you also have young Instagram and tiktok personalities and the populat crowd who are not so sharp pretending to be Goth but obviously are not. To them it's just the latest clothing fashion, much to the ire of actual Goths.
@@dayaautum6983 I don't want to offend you with my questions, but what does Goth actual mean? There doesn't seem to be a political/religious/philosophical base to it or am I wrong? I'm sure this topics are getting discussed within groups of goths, but there is no common goal they pursue, is there?
A common intrest in death and transitoriness and the wish to express youself to the world in that way seems so little to base a whole subculture on it which leads to the final and most importan question:
What is the difference between a Goth and one pretending to be a Goth?
They're all so friendly, attractive, charming and polite. And experts at their look. Yet at the time, kids like this were often hated for looking like that. I know I was.
even at 52 yrs old still a punk rocker people of black and indian decendences hate me, but their minds are in the toilet, mine is not, still a punker all these yrs, wow cool, me i;m happy when i see a punker/goth/metalhead/mod/new romantics/ska folks, or even 60s hippies, i have a lady girlfriend in her 70s whos an ex hippy, she loves me she loves the punk styles that i have on me, even thou i'm married i have her too, she's divorce, her husband cheated on her and she kicked him out,......marius(punk rules).
@Isolated Pixels People who are in this kind of subculture don't need a therapist any more than anyone else does. They just like that music, etc.
@@isolatedpixels9142 they are kids and that is the point. You are meant to have fun before you learn of the harsh cruel realities of the world.
What's interesting is how virtually all of these random street kids somehow managed to look like high-end fashion models.
Back then everyone thought we looked like street urchins.
First worlders.
People back then actually put effort into their looks unlike now
Haven't met many Irish gals eh?
Well cause the high fashion people were just copying them.

God, they're all so iconic.
I know, right? The 70’s and 80’s had the best fashion styles
You think so? lol, pretty ordinary to me! All seems kinda silly now but at the time it seemed important.
They are so polite and giggly, unlike how most common movies portray punk/goth people like snobs or bullies. It sucks that unrealistic idea stuck in my country.
Wish I could travel back in time and talk to these people.
If you could track them down, I'm sure you could talk to them NOW about what their experience was back then. This interview was done in the late 80s, not the 1800s.
These people didn't die... I hope lol.
@@sashizakura9124 😂😂😂
You're not going to need a Tardis mate, it was only 1989 and they're only in their forties! 'These people' are all still around, I saw some of them on Facebook as far back in time as last year.
@Dingus Finkelman You'd have to bring the drugs yourself, in the Tardis cos you won't find them back in Dublin in 1989 among these teens. Before 1991 there was virtually no Ecstasy, unless you were part of a tiny in-crowd that were also a bit older. There was acid, hash, some speed, and poppers but generally teenagers just got pissed. So bring a few 3-litres of Linden Village and you'll have more luck.
I love the DIY aspect of it, no Killstar or crappy brands like that.
Why do you find brands such as Killstar crappy? Genuinely curious. I thought it was a pretty much respected brand?
@@DidixGil i wear Killstar and love it

I was a Psychobilly from 1987 to 1990 ish, skint, stank, drank, girls, danced and I don't remember too much else. The Goths, us, punks all got on, mostly the differences in music were enjoyed by each group, I even liked some of the chart stuff, Prefab Sprout, OMD etc. I had friends from all groups, we mixed and if we went to a gig it would not matter if it was The Meteors or some Cure type band playing, it was about the company, the drink, the chat, all was enjoyed. What is an ex-Psychobilly up to these days? The usual, mortgage, cars, career, the 80's/90's are a foggy distant memory but one day I will look back on today with nostalgia. (Well, once this crap we are all in has ended) Love to all.
me, too bob, i was a punk rocker in 80s, still a punk rocker now too, punk outfits too, but i love different music too, except stupid hip hop, me and my friends at first were scared to share other musical taste, but i opened up first, then they all chip in and opened up real good, i too had punks/metalheads/goths/mods/skinheads/new romantics/rockers(brian adams type of crowd too), now as i write this i'm listening to howard jones, 80s stuff,.....still a punk rocker all these years,.....marius(punk rules)., but still enjoy 80s music to this day.i'm on old grandpa(52yrs old).
I was hoping to find something like this in the comments. ❤
@@letitiabradin810 Strange that you don't like hiphop. I've hear from more ex-teenage punkers, metalheads etc that while they listened to a wide range of music, rap was almost universally considered "stupid" and not worth listening to, even more so than pop. Maybe the 80's were a different time, but nowadays there's a large overlap between punk and hiphop (at least in the scenes I frequent), in both message and fanbase. Metal is full of escapism and the occasional nazi, rock hasn't been counterculture in 30 years, only punk and hiphop still genuinely air their grievances with society through music. The only difference is how much emphasis is on each of the instrument, and the color of the artists' skin.
@@mynamejeff3545 dude, i can tell you are a young lad, me i'm an old lad, lets say grandpa, i'm almost 60, now do you know where hip hop came from originaly, nope you don't, it came from deep down in the african jungle, to call up demons, upon the white enemies, like you, now why do you thing hip hop ended up like this, think lad, from hip hop you hame crimes up, like murder, rapes, incest, cheat/lie, anything to get away with crimes, hip hop sucks no lie, it's not even music, just some guy trying to poop in the toilet and can't seem to get the caca out in time for lunch, even the Illuminati hates the whole hip hop crapy scenes and music, why do you think, hip hop artists, end up with their legs up in the air dead, 8 feet under, have fun discovering the truth, before it's too late laddy,.....marius(punk rules).
@@mynamejeff3545 I'm 54 and I feel the same about hip-hop/rap. It must be a generational thing. And it has nothing to do with skin color. I'm a HUGE jazz fan, 50s & 60s old-school jazz, and that is almost exclusively a black genre. I just don't like hip-hop and rap. I thought it was silly when I first heard it on that dumb, annoying show "Yo MTV Raps".
Our generation.
I'm 51 now!
I never considered myself any one thing. Most of the time I dressed pretty normal but sometimes I would do myself up like those girls in the video. My dad used to make fun of me for dressing in the dark whenever I dressed like that.
Every once in a while I wouldn't mind the chance to, just one more time, doing my hair up like that, eyeliner, torn black jeans, discount army boots, and going to the club to dance like we did back then. Not that I've been pining back ever since, there was plenty of other stuff to get into in the next couple of decades, but teenage kicks, they will always be their own thing in your heart
@Jerzy Dziś youre just too lazy to look for the right music....i guess thats what happens when a whole generation was raised on radio music. Everything played on the radio back then, nowadays you would probably pull your hair out trying to find a teenager who listens to the radio. Its a needle in a haystack
HOW FOOKIN DEPRESSING!!
@Jerzy Dziś ahhh but the Beiber and Grande fans are just normies 👀
The Cure did not like being classified as a Goth Band. Neither did Siouxsie. Fun times in the late 80's .
@Miss Yancey No, the music is Goth. The Gothiest goth that ever gothed. Blacker than the blackest black x Infinity 🖤🖤🖤
@@LilNicky109 LMAO
None of them liked being classified as a Goth Band, but didn't complain about the concert ticket sales or record sales that came with being identified with a subculture. Goth was the subculture and The Cure and Siouxsie, whether they liked it or not, were the main bands loved and celebrated in that culture, along with Bauhaus and Sisters Of Mercy (Mk 1). You had bands like The Cult and The Mission who were just hard rock/metal but were co-opted into the subculture for other reasons, the look, the attitude, an association with another band and often just because girls fancied the singer. Wayne Hussey did no complaining about his bands following being largely teenage goth girls in love with him.
@@speakertreatz The Mission and The Cult are both Post-Punk and Goth Rock, which are 2 of the main subgenres in Goth subculture.
@@LilNicky109 I'd argue that neither of them were post-punk for starter. The Cult originally made psychedelic rock like She Sells Santuary, with hippie-ish aspects, then went full on cock-rock with almost parodic piss take songs like Lil Devil and Wildflower. It was Paisley shirts in the SSS era, then leather and tight pants. The main thing that locked it all together was the apparent charisma and looks and image of Ian Astbury. A Jim Morrison style singer was always welcome in Goth fan circles. There's absolutely NOTHING about The Mission that was goth, the music was bombastic, earnest American soft rock. BUT it was a de facto Goth band because it was a spin off of the Sisters and borrow many of its mother band's pretentiousness and affectations (without the tongue in cheek humour). And because Wayne Hussey had a huge goth female following and was one of the the scene's 'sex symbols.
SISTERS OF MERCY, THE CURE, DEAD CAN DANCE, FLOCK OF SEAGULLS, JOY DIVISION, CHRISTIAN DEATH, BANSHEES, SIMPLE MINDS, MODERN ENGLISH, XYMOX, TEARS FOR FEARS, PLAY DEAD, DEPECHE MODE, KILLING JOKE, ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN, 45 GRAVE, DANSE SOCIETY, SOFT CELL - TOO MANY TO NAME OFF! AMAZING DECADE.

Sisters of Mercy was better.
@David Flores Is that you Rev Paisley?
Didn't she say "stuff like this" ?
The most frightening fashion in this is right at the start
What a Martha
so do you feel edgy and original?
Hahahahahahaha brilliant
Some where right now, some teenager just saw their parents on this video.
some have small children
I was just like them at that time. My daughter is in her early 20s.
Behold how much better their style holds up vs. the "normal" look of the time. The interviewer looks ridiculous.
the 'normal style' has held up so well it's been completely appropriated by the high street since the mid 2010s. High waisted jeans, pristine trainers and preppy ankle socks, short bomber jackets, athleisurewear, step haircuts. None of that looks familiar to you? The interviewer was a middle aged journalist, look at the young people.
@@speakertreatz yes all our cultures styles are being raided by fashion 90%+ of what one sees are all my cultures and how we grew up
The interviewer is what kids are dressing like right now (December 2020) I have a hard time with kids looking like a bunch of moms from my younger days.
Not that they aren’t beautiful naturally, but the fashion reminds me of stuffy unlikable people I remember. Not the kids fault, but...it’s just that way I guess based on living memory.
Giant sweaters jackets and oversized glasses, clothes in bright blocky colors. High pants, and belted things. And, I dunno...intentionally bad haircuts?
They look like little mean teachers I had. Of course, they are still cute people whom carry it off, but it’s weird to see the worst “average, Sears-like fashion” be made actual FASHION today.

@@xXInfinityDiesXx You sure? Tossing around "racist", "nazi", "chauvinist", "transphobic", "islamophobic", "my safe space" etcetera casually like it's nothing and blindly believing every single word the government or massmedia claims doesn't really come off as "sweet" to me. Of course not everyone are like that, but I don't remember this being a thing at all when I was growing up.
@@Uchyiamada Everyone only remembers the best things from their own generations. Your generation had many of its own issues that could be said, a lot of which is the same as current generations, yet you don't recognize it because of nostalgia and the good memories you had. How is you blindly hating on the new generation any different from the interviewers in this video? The truth is the interviewers were older and bitter about the youth they were talking to, just as you're now old and bitter in your comment toward younger generations.
@@xXInfinityDiesXx How am I "bitter" for simply stating what I've experienced in my everyday life? I also wrote that not everyone are like that, so I'm not sure why you're generalizing me. I'm also not as "old" as you think, probably younger than you :D
And yeah, the biggest issue "my generation" has is that we allowed the Western world to become what it is today, instead of preserving it.
Dublin is still a pretty diverse place style wise, you do see a lot of alternative and interesting outfits on teenagers and young adults these days. I walk through Grafton street (the road they are on in this clip) every day to get to work and I see crowds like this every day. It does make me happy, and I’m glad it’s been like that for a while, because diversity in what used to be such a conservative country is always great to see.
@ciao214Z Not what I was talking about, I mean that there is still a large ‘gothic’ community in Dublin, as well as people that express themselves through their fashion in a unique way.
I understand irish english better than british english.
Lol
Same
Same here 😁
Me too actually
British English doesn't exist, we have very distinctive and unique accents depending on the region one comes from.
Reminds me of today when everyone asks hipsters if they are hipsters and they always "no." Except Goths are actually cool.
I don't understand hipsters.
@@jaspermcminnis5538 It's just vapid vacuous nothingness trying to be something.
@@jaspermcminnis5538 tumblr
Ha! That's exactly what I told the person I was watching this with!
Goths were a reflection of their musical taste. You could see one and know exactly what kind of music they like and which clubs they would be seen at. Hipsters seem more like just fashionable posers. No real identity other than trying to look like other hipsters. Correct me if I am wrong.
it's amazing to see how elaborate and intelligent these kids were back in the 80s and 90s. Things have changed since then...
back then ppl lived the reality.. nothing was simulated.. love this authentic interviews
Rule No1: No matter If you're a goth or not, you should DENY it, no matter what arguments they have against you, never ever admit it, or the magic is gone :D
LMAO literally. they were like “i’m not goth” then three seconds later “why do you wear that?” “oh just typical goth jewelry”
That is ... true. I don't remember a single person from that era who ever actually "self-identifed" as a goth :) Whenever I was asked, I'd say I thought of myself as more of a gothy-hippy-ish creature really. Because I smiled and wore a bit of colour among all the monochrome, I guess :) We tended to think of the true "goths" as the ones who never smiled, never broke character, wore things like full wedding-dresses, the full gothic romance thing, and seemed to absolutely live like that 24/7. Next-level, basically.
Basically, everyone is different even in the goth scene. There are one hundred types of being goth, you can be goth having your own essence, that's why no one's just goth, but themselves plus goth :)
@@luanasoares7237 I think you've cracked it there - no-one really identified as "a goth" because that seemed too simple a descriptor ... people saw themselves as more like a mix of goth plus other elements.
Funny thing is, I think all of us probably knew people that you saw in the clubs that we thought were the goths - and, in truth, they probably didn't thnk of themselves as the goths either, and thought the goths were us :)
Classic heel. NEVER. BREAK. CHARACTER.

I love the old school style of the Gothic scene. The old original of the scene
Her great aunts cloak, wowzer, so she is in her 20’s, her mum probably in her 40’s, her grandmother in her 60’s and her great aunt in her 80’s and this was in 1989, so her great aunt was born early 1900’s. That cape could be 100 years old as of today or older, that’s one incredible sentimental family item, lets hope the girl didn’t destroy it.

@@MadeInDublin71 Ireland was a third world shithole back then. Outside Dublin it was extremely poor, some places didn't even have electricity.
@@MadeInDublin71 Never said they starved to death.
We're looking at the fun part in this video. The fun part, the monied part, the safe part. If you turned the camera off, walked up to Stephens Green and turned right, you'd pretty soon find yourself in a dangerous zone, not just but including Mercer House flats, which is STILL dangerous in broad daylight in 2020. All the surrounding streets including Camden St and beyond had few shops, were badly lit, not many people around. The further you went in ANY direction after that, you weren't safe especially Christchurch/Thomas St, which was an absolute no-go area beyond the Tivoli and there was nothing there anyway but flats and houses. When the Spar opened up on that corner of Mother Redcaps it was like it lit the whole street up. People forget Dublin city centre 1989 was a dangerous, poverty stricken area in places outside of the likes of Grafton St.
Какие все молодые ,красивые ,весёлые ребята !!!Я родилась в 1989г .Мне очень нравится одежда ,которая на ребятах ,я тоже кое-что носила из такого стиля .Жаль ,что сейчас большинства людей злые ,забитые ,и бестолковые .

Why THE F IS SHE TOUCHING EVERYONE I WOULD FEEL SO UNCOMFORTABLE LIKE LADY WHY DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TOUCH ME?!
fr when she was talking to the girl about her necklace i was like 😐😐 like why did she touch everyone’s shoulders ugh wweirddds
Before covid casually touching was normal. Hugging, hand shaking, brushing up on arms, hands and back.. very normal. And if that’s too touchy for you, you should see what my family from Indonesia and Holland is like ;D
It's the 1989s not 2020, the females didnt seem to have a problem now please shut up
In the beforetime, people weren't afraid of other people and obsessed with personal safe spaces and whatnot
gurl this was before people created safe spaces and before everyone came out as trans non binary . back in the day it was ok to hug and be close to people. nowadays you have to be careful about assuming anything. im not talking about covid social distancing. im talking about the threat of getting a phone pulled out and someone cancelling you
Lovely short snipped, thx a lot! It was a few years before my actual time :)

Awww... The steps.... It's such a pity they fenced us all out it was a great spot for like minds to come together. Love yas all the alternative Dublin crew through the ages 🖤
It's unfenced again now.
The Cure The Smith's Siouxsie and the Banshees Depeche Mode and Bauhaus is all i listened too at that time. B52s and Duran Duran were too commercial for me at that time as we used to say back then haha so silly of me to even think that way.. I still love these bands Bella Lugosi's Dead and Black Celebration Album are still played very often in my music list..
...well filmed, a youth culture with great style and also smart, even the breakdancer looks cool, not like nowdays!

"I want to be different . . . just like everyone else.", and that is yet another element of the punk scene that appealed to me; doing your own thing for you, yourself.
There are various subgenres within the punk scene, and nearly everyone has a certain uniform, a specific costume, or a look that is widely accepted, and to some, even considered mandatory. So even within the punk scene, you had imitators, and conformists, with too many attitudes that if you don't look this way, or wear this type of clothing, then you are not truly a (fill in the blank). However, at least there was a small segment of the punk scene that carried the DIY attitude into the fashion element of punk, or non-fashion, or anti-fashion, and didn't feel they had to look any certain way, and that's what I did . . . maintained that DIY attitude, and cared not what everybody else thought, what they were doing, or how they presented themselves to others through their clothing.
I never felt the need to self-identify via outfits to inform total strangers of who I was, or what I was into. Besides, even if I did follow some unwritten dress code, most other people would not have a single clue as to what I was broadcasting with my clothing. The only other people who would be able to derive any information about me based upon how I looked and the clothing I wore (such as my musical preference, or my political viewpoints, or what was important to me in life), would be others into the same scene I was into, or to some extent, others into similar scenes to mine (one being a subgenre of the other, or perhaps a crossover, or maybe just neighbors on the same branch of the musical genre tree) . . . meaning those who dressed the same as me.
However, it wouldn't likely be my comrades within my town who could derive any information about me based on how I looked, for they would already know me, and thus, know about me. They would already know who I was, because those types of groups are typically so small, and tightly interwoven in most cities. With me knowing everyone within my group, I would need to travel to another city for my uniform to possess the power to inform complete strangers of what type of person I was, including my musical preference. This would be about the only way for my costume to have the potential to produce any real accurate assessment of me as a person (my musical tastes, and political viewpoints, and whathaveyou) by complete strangers. So, what then is the purpose of needing to don a specific look if you listen to a specific genre of music? Perhaps in the more mediocre, mainstream classifications, there will be those who are into the same things as someone else, and they still won't know each other because it is such a large group of people. In such circumstances, a uniform may serve a practical purpose. However, once you enter into the social construct of a smaller group, it doesn't take long for you to meet everyone else within said group. So, yet again, what's with the outfits? The uniforms? The costumes??? I never comprehended the appeal of looking like everyone else. I guess it is related to our psychological need to be accepted and feel as if you are a part of a community, as if you belonged to something. So, I have always much preferred being different, but not like everyone else. Just no worries, nor concern, doing my own thing without the need to broadcast to the public that THIS IS WHO I AM!
The following video clip pretty much sums it all up for me: czcams.com/video/oHRWahLcivs/video.html
I'm living for the girl with the strawberry switchblade streamers at 0:56
they all look so nice and happy with their hair styles and clothes
They looked fabulous ! All of them !
Was not expecting the B-52s to get a mention by the chicks at 3:20 but that’s pretty cool
Love this so much. So glad this was me in the 90s.
this made me smile and somehow this is what i needed this morning :)
00:58 If I don't throw it away, it lasts much longer. I love this woman!
"People are strange" fading in the beginning ...
Thanks
The music that they are breakdancing to is Inner City - Big Fun
One of the first House songs
The girl at 1:42 is stunning & I love her hair!
i wonder what age she is now and where she is now
Yep 80s babes was hot back then
@@josephperkins4080 you say that again, bro!
As soon as I seen her I came straight to the comments section 'cause I knew I wasn't alone in thinking that! Haha
Certainly a beautiful lady!
@@cillian605 that gang were all about two or three years older than me and I'm 48 so all of them over 50.
I wouldn't have been caught dead talking to a journalist when I was a punk in the 70s. I'm nearly 63 now and still wouldn't talk to one.
I was a psychobilly in the early 80s, and even now in my 50s, I still love the music
Such cute outfits! Would definitely wear now! 😍🖤🙌🏻
The blonde girl at 0:50 is lovely
02:30 Some say he is still spinning to this very day..
02:49 my boy morrissey being a handsome man af
Such cool kids and way smarter than the badly dressed condescending interviewer.
You are obviously too young too judge well (lol). She wasn't condescending. Wearing rosary is dumb, for example, cause they don't realize what that thing means. They don't have a complete understanding of what the prayer is. This downfall lead to what we have today in our atrocious culture.
@@garrywindshield1 ok boomer
@@garrywindshield1 “that wasn’t condescending” -proceeds to be condescending 😂😂
@@dabdabthethird2410 it will stay like this to you until you become smarter. If ever
@@garrywindshield1 more condescending. Classic lack of self awareness here 😂😂
They look so much nicer than the youth from my generation.
More innocent times I think.
ohhh wow this was so fun to watch!
This video makes me proud to be Irish!
I was 16 in 1989 and living in WV, then in 1992 in Pennsylvania. Apparently I lived in the wrong place.☺️Would have been nice to have some likeminded friends.
They are all so attractive. You can still see it under even the craziest look.
Who cares? They’re expressing themselves and that’s what *they* want to do
i would love to be friends with people like that, so unconcerned with what other people think and just doing what they like
Nostalgia for a time I never experienced
They're all so lovely!
0:53
" what are You ? "
" Nothing".
Sounds like Heidegger and Sartre.
Это высказывание больше напоминает русских нигилистов
Heidegger would've written a large work on that question posed right there, and end up not being able to answer it.
Sartre would simply say he is ashamed.
I backpacked Europe right after a few years after this video. Was amazing!
this is the video that first got me into goth, thank you. Its nice to know that you dont need to go all out for the look and its okay to tone it down
Love seeing this history so beautiful
It's amazing to see this. My mom always tells me about her style back in the old days and about the music. Only con she never could help me with my makeup because she only knows how to do some heavy black eye makeup.
lol old days
When I was a young teenager the only make up my mum could do was pink and blue eyeshadow. Pink on the inner part of the eye, blue on the outer 😂 she was a 70s-80s disco/funk then glam rock queen 😂😂😂
I inherited a playsuit from her: it’s cobalt blue, halter neck but it has lapels, it cinches in at the waist, then it ends in ultra short shorts. You wouldn’t need to take it off for your gyno appointment it was that short 😂👌🏻 this is EXACTLY why she never told me off for wearing skirts that were “too short” when I was a teenager 😂👌🏻 She would be a hypocrite 😂😂😂
EDIT: She’s also 5’9 and was slim. Her legs looked supernaturally long, and she said she wore nude heels so they looked even longer 😂👏🏻 I always picture this Amazonian-yet-Scottish diva 😂👏🏻 (we’re Scottish: ginger, curly hair and fair skin 😂👌🏻). She travelled during that time and went to the USA - she spent most of her time in Philly in the funk/disco/Motown clubs 😂😂
And just to finish the saga: I’m NOT 5’9 and super slim. I’m 5’4 on a good day, I’m curvy pear shaped and I have a long back and short legs 😂😂😂 literally the opposite body. We have the same hair and colouring though 😂👌🏻
That's fun, youtube decided I need to see Dublin Goth New Wave Movement, 1989 (Uncensored) and I obliged.
I must say, I still love the Cure! Still one of my absolute favorite bands! I’m glad I got to see them at least once live in 1996! I cried they were amazing! I was never a “Curehead” as far as my dressing in highschool but I’ll always love that band!
