Or breeds of dog, perhaps(?) There are different thing that fall under the classification of Goth which are more or less present in most other subcategory, but which gain greater focus within given subcategory.<br /><br />As far as Tradgoth is concerned I first heard it in the late 90s as a disparaging & tongue in cheek term for folks who dressed like goths had around 1989 or so, who considered themselves truer & purer goths than anyone else, the gothiest goths that ever gothed. They (erroneously) ascribe the subculture's origins to the Batcave & think everything that came after 1995, unless a facsimile of their Batcave-obsessed idea of Goth, is somehow not goth. <br />I wrote a Long-Ass Tumblr Post (tm) deconstructing this assumption here: https://skiamakhos.tumblr.com/post/164892177298/the-batcave-and-80s-goth<br /><br />Contracting it to Trad is like referring to jazz enthusiasts who only like turn of the century New Orleans jazz as trad jazz fans, or traddies. They're honestly ignoring a huge swath of jazz, just as IMHO tradgoths are ignoring & denying a huge swath of Goth.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739410873809020685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406319356659344188.post-64725109537612798422017-06-05T14:08:57.095-07:002017-06-05T14:08:57.095-07:00I believe that categories only work to an extent, ...I believe that categories only work to an extent, but the more succinctly we attempt to categorize someone or something, the more elusive an actual label becomes. <br /><br />When I think of goth types, I think of generalizations that give others a window into what a person might be about. Beyond that, you've got to know someone on a personal level.Nightwindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148270720593016700noreply@blogger.com
