Since I love art, its only natural that I put some throughout this blog.
So, I've decided every Wednesday is going to be a photo feature day with whatever theme I feel like. So, today...hmm.
I'm thinking some deathrock pictures.
DEATHROCK? WHAT IS THAT? SOUNDS SATANIC.
Hahaha, well along with the pictures I'll give some little tidbits and history on the genre.
The term 'deathrock' (also death punk, but that doesn't sound as scary) started in the 1950's to describe rock and roll music about morbid things. Like the Monster Mash...
No, this isn't a band, but its a great example of deathrock fashion.
You can probably spot a deathrocker from miles away. Leather, fishnets, black, skulls, and massive amounts of hair spray and makeup is hard to miss.
THE MISFITS. They're one of the most influential bands in this genre. EVERY SINGLE PERSON who considers themselves a deathrocker listens to the Misfits. They started the whole shock rock and horror rock starting in the late 70's.
The deathhawk. Its the most common hairstyle among deathrockers. Its like a Mohawk, except thicker and usually buzzed sides and messier hair and its usually worn down.
Deathrock wasn't only influenced by horror and vintage goths, there is also elemnts of caberet, some religious icons, and many books and films.
And we're done =D. More amazing deathrocky-y-ness at deathrock.com

ReplyDelete~kathleen
I didn't say anything about the hair, but seriously, in the second picture from the end, why is that woman not wearing something to cover herself? Do deathrockers not believe in wearing undies?
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the leather and fishnets, too?
ummm
ReplyDeletei'm pretty sure she's covering herself adequately
i mean, no boobs showing, at least
and anyway, the girl is definitely wearing underwear...
leather and fishnets are like...what deathrockers wear...

OH GOD SHOWING AN ANKLE CALL THE POLICE ALERT ALERT

Ha, yeah, she is covering herself up, I'm positive vaginas aren't black like underwear.

ReplyDeleteHmm...*checks*
ReplyDeleteyeah. I'm sure.
JW125 if you cannot see the beauty in the Deathrock fashion then why comment in the first place?
