Bubble Goth vs. Pastel Goth - What's The Difference?: PASTEL GOTH

We've already discussed Bubble Goth, so what's the difference with Pastel Goth?

Pastel Goth is simply just a style of pastel colours, with or without black. It is said to be a type of soft grunge, some say it looks like a creepy Fairy Kei fashion. 

They are probably known as Kawaii Goth to some. It's more of a casual look with Gothic imagery such as bats, crosses, pentagrams, ect. 

They wear pastel bows, little horns, round shades, pastel roses with spikes on their headbands. Usually their hair would be dyed pastel (or they wear a wig), it can be half black and half pastel if they choose.

Bubble Goths can also have pastel hair, but some may choose to dye it white, or bright colours instead. Pastel Goths are just have pastel and black, which is why they're called Pastel Goth. Their fashion is more Japanese inspired than Bubble Goth is. 

Pastel Goth and Bubble Goth have similar accessories, like eyeball bows for example, (I have seen the Bubble Goth queen Kerli, wear eyeball bows in an interview), and the two has some Lolita in their fashion, but Bubble Goth has Cybergoth elements, whilst Pastel Goth does not.

Bubble Goths wear mostly platform boots, whilst Pastel Goths wear creepers, or more casual type of shoes.
The make-up is usually dark. Pastel Goths wear black lipstick for balance.

Bubble Goth vs. Pastel Goth - What's The Difference?: BUBBLE GOTH

Bubble Goth (or BubbleGoth), is a type of light and dark style with Cybergoth and some Lolita elements. The colours are black, white, with some pastel, or bright colours.

Without black with just white and/or colour, the style itself is Goth with corsets, boots, fancy Victorian clothes, fishnets, dark or light make-up, gas masks, goggles, headphones, alicorn headdress (unicorn horn), and maybe even some sequins.

The style was popularised by the Estonian pop singer, Kerli. Kerli was labelled a Bubble Goth from her first album, 'Love Is Dead' which has some Gothicness to it. From watching an interview about the album, Kerli said she was in a dark place.

What Is Goth?

There's a lot of debate on this. It's not what Goth is to others, but what Goth is to you. Goth is music, fashion, architecture, and art.

The gargoyles you see on buildings in Europe, old churches, spooky mansions, most likely is what Gothic architecture looks like.

The art is dark, maybe with some fantasy, but at the same time, there is a beauty to it even if it is rather creepy.

The music may have a haunting sound, it doesn't matter really, not all Goths listen to the one genre. There's Post-Punk, Gothic Rock, (maybe even Deathrock), which is more what the original Goths listen to, and some of the modern Goths of today. There are branches of different music, as well as different types of Goths.

The fashion is dark, maybe elegant, or something more hardcore. Like I said, there are different types of Goths, not all go for the elegance, or Punk types, some go for something sweeter, and it doesn't always have to be black all the time. There are those who dress in all white, know as the Ice (or Negative) Goths.

Goth can be anything, you can take something ordinary and make it how you want it. Take a regular bow and put bats or eyeballs on it, or just leave it the way it is if it makes you happy.

Goth is what you make it, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Everyone has a different opinion on what Goth is, and what Goth isn't.

There is one thing that is not Goth that people will tell you. Emo is not Goth, but it does come from Punk like Goth did.

Goth is a mindset, it doesn't matter what you wear, as long as you are what you feel you are.
