Sausage curls are also worn with more over-the-top coordinates.Ĭommon makeup includes dark lipstick (in wine, red, deep purple or even dark brown), smokey or neatly defined eyes, and light blush, although as with all Lolita substyles the look remains fairly natural. Black and white color combinations are somewhat taboo, but can be and have been done tastefully.Ĭommon hair includes straightened or curled hair left down, though pigtails are sometimes worn. Darker colors, such as black, navy and royal blue, maroon, crimson, and deep purples are all common in Gothic Lolita. Gothic Lolita may also follow the more "Classic" silhouette that uses an A-line petticoat rather that a bell-shaped one, to give coordinates a more mature, elegant appearance.Ĭommon motifs in Gothic Lolita often include crosses or religious themes, bats, skulls, coffins, chandeliers, deep red roses, and castles. Bell skirts, JSKs, and dresses are usually worn with bell-shaped petticoats to give them the classic "cupcake" shape.
During the latter half of that decade, goth metal also proved to be an important influence on black metal bands searching for new ways to darken their sound.Gothic Lolita follows the basic Lolita silhouette. Many goth metal bands have since sprung up in both America and Europe, with the tongue-in-cheek Type O Negative breaking out to a wider alternative metal audience in the '90s. Goth metal first emerged during the early to mid-'80s, centered around Los Angeles' so-called "death-rock" scene headed by Christian Death. Thus, goth metal frequently holds appeal for listeners on both sides of the equation. Prior to the emergence of goth rock as a post-punk genre, the vaguely medieval, minor-key sounds of metal bands like Rainbow, Dio, and Judas Priest had been described as "gothic," but true goth metal is always directly influenced by goth rock - ethereal synths and spooky textures are just as important as guitar riffs, if not moreso. Goth metal fuses the bleak, icy atmospherics of goth rock with the loud guitars and aggression of heavy metal, finding the middle ground between the two styles in a melodramatic sense of theater and lyrical obsessions with religion and horror.
