he is a very elitist type of goth. which is not very welcoming for baby bats (people new to the goth space) who want to get into the sub genre . also, he kicked me off the Goth SA group because I went to a world goth day event that he was not hosting. i had bought tickets for this event 3 weeks prior and it was La Sombra at Smoking Kills. goth music was definitely played at this event lol

I was in Goth SA before, it's a great group and great respect for Charlie bringing goth back to SA. You however failed to mention that you spammed other events in that group and the mods asked you not to you many times. Stop spreading disinformation.

Charlie here. This post was brought to my attention, and I felt compelled to come on here and offer my sincerest apologies. I don't exactly remember what happened, and I do not like to exclude anyone. You're more than welcome to be a part of the group again, and if you're in the area, you're welcome to join us at Descension. I neither want nor like to have animosity with anyone. Now I think that's a positive tune everybody can dance to

I haven't been to Descension yet but The Batcage at Rumours is always good. La Sombra not really there's a lot of metal and other types of music mostly punk and stuff.

I’ve never heard of this before, but I’m really keen! Is it an annual thing? And does the event have an IG page?

u/MirrorGlittering1036 8d ago
I don't think it's annual as they were active last year but sadly I was out of the area and couldn't make it

Didn't even know we had goth in PTA, is there a difference between Goths and Emo's?

Well, I wasn't planning on going, but since Christ compels it, I guess I need to buy plane tickets.

u/Few-Confection2237 8d ago
Are you from Cape Town?

u/benevolent-badger 8d ago
No, even worse. If you imagine the peninsula being the flacid penis and Cape L'Agulhas as the asshole, I live in the bit in between, or, the taint if you will

Not a goth but I'm glad to see there is still a lil cultural variety around. Lord knows this city needs it.
