victorian goth

Definition

A goth subculture aesthetic that trades fishnet and spikes for corsets, long skirts, and parasols straight out of the 1800s. Think Edgar Allan Poe meets Wednesday Addams' great-great-grandmother—all the darkness and melancholy, but with more lace, waistcoats, and the occasional top hat for maximum dramatic effect.

Example Usage

The victorian goth at the coffee shop looked like she stepped out of a Brontë novel, complete with a black parasol despite the cloudy weather.
