80's Goth Girls / Batcave Club

anonymous asked:
Y’all got an goth girls specifically batcave style


For those not in the know:

“The Batcave was a nightclub in London, at Meard Street, Soho. It is considered to be the birthplace of the Southern English goth subculture as it had already been established in Northern England, in particular Leeds Manchester and Belfast. Though when the culture was being developed in the North of England it was commonly known as alternative prior to having been given the gothmoniker. As one of the most famous meeting points for early goths, it lent its name to the term Batcaver, used to describe fans of the original gothic rock music, who would adorn themselves in Batwing Coffin necklaces to distinguish themselves from other less prolific goth nightclubs. The term “Batcave” is also still used by Europeans to refer to gothic music with a prominent post-punk sound and spooky atmospheres.”

Although we don’t know if of these women are Batcavers, here is a collection we put together of British punk/goth girls from the 80′s that should fit the bill. Thanks for following!
