Suddenly this doesn’t feel relevant any more

Virtual clubs also mean more people have access to a club experience even if it isn’t the same. Some people can’t go due to being under-age, work, finances, location or physical ability. All you need now is a good internet connection and a device that will show streaming video. These people (especially under-agers) may be inspired to attend clubs and gigs more often when they are able to go.

This also shuts the naysayers up who say that goth is dead and that it will never be as good as it was. We are broadcasting evidence that goth is alive and well and it is as good, if not better, than it was in the “good old days”. Who knows, me may even win people over to attend clubs once they get going again, further strengthening the scene.

The internet is being flooded with a lot more musical content than there used to be and it has a social aspect to it. This is the goth subculture as a living, breathing thing online. Previously this sort of stuff tended to be drowned out by the fashion and aesthetic-oriented people. But maybe with so much being put out there we can make a couple of them stop and look. Maybe they will realise what we already know. Maybe they will get that we never were telling them goths are into goth music to be jerks but because it is in integral part of the goth subculture. Maybe, just maybe, they’ll give it a go. Then maybe when IRL events get going again they will want to join in on the fun too.
