Did Bowie actually say that? idk but I found that image on Bluesky so it's gotta be true, right?

I wanted to be a Goth but I learned in European history that I would have to be from 3rd century East Germany after migrating from Scandinavia. πŸ˜”

Gotta lock down that inVisigoth "look", is all. Mysterious & ooky in the sheets, and ...just not appearing "in the streets". (so please, stop asking/calling/texting) πŸ«©πŸ¦‡πŸ€˜πŸΌ

Or you could be part of the 12th-16th century architectural style ! You don't get to sack Rome, but you might get a "flying buttress" !

Can I just write like Byron instead?

Except for absolute beauty, does the flying buttress give any structural advantages?

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 1 points 2 months ago

I dunno. It's just really fun to say, tho...

You could have survive in Crimea for another millennium!

If Bowie had gone goth, he’d be Gary Numan.

[–] MattBlackAlien@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

But then Gary Numan would have to be Andrew Eldritch - and since you can't get /more/ goth than Drew, where would /he/ go ? He'd have to come out the other side and be Jason Donovan.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 6 points 2 months ago

Or Numan would have just ended up settling for being the BDSM one from Depeche Mode.

I loved that rumour, that Bowie was also lead singer of The Sisters of Mercy… sadly, it seems it has been lost in the dark corners of time.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

That sounds like an awesome rumor. Too bad there are not memes of it, that it might live forever.

The most stereotypically goth people I've ever met denied it and said they had no idea why people kept calling them goth. It was rather silly.

You are saying a big tiddy goth gf could be any big tiddy gf?
