It’s also important to note that unlike Fairy Goth (on GothTypes), it’s not a cosplay-centric style and actually features modernized clothing. In basic terms, it’s a hybrid of fey imagery, Glam Rock glitter, and the lighter side of 80s Goth.Įlements of Woodland Goth are similar to Goblincore, Fairycore, Cottagecore, Trad Goth, and Romantic Goth. It can be considered a lesser-known, typically nameless facet of Goth (most commonly found in ethereal wave) which was and is rife with the imagery of fairy tales, folklore, poetry, ballet, and mythology in contrast to the stereotype of vampires, zombies, and horror movies. It has been recently revitalized by Internet culture, but has actually existed as a facet of Goth music and fantasy literature/film since the 80s. Woodland Goth is an aesthetic that combines dark, romantic elements of Goth culture with light subjects like flowers or woodland animals. “Oh, magic in her hands/She could make anything grow/Magic in her hands/She had green fingers” - Siouxsie and the Banshees, Green Fingers Siouxsie and the Banshees’ “Spellbound” video
