White is not very flattering to the average metalhead figure, and also does not hide spilled beer

I got a bright blue cattle decap shirt and a few white lorna shore shirts

Is it weird that I just thought about white goth aesthetic as a parallel to those all white PC builds? I don't think I've seen 'white goth theme' done before and am kinda curious if it would look good.

You're close. Not 'white goth'...

Pastel Goth:

Arguably many variants of the older, harajuku gothic lolita style can/have also been done in primarily white or lighter colors.

This is a more modern dress and pic, but I think you could find examples of similar going back to at least the 90s:

... there's also now... clown core, and clown goth, but ... just no, nope, you're gonna have to personally choose to look for that, I'm not just gonna force you to see it.

Fiat Lux

(...) and am kinda curious if it would look good.

Spoiler: It doesn't

White metal, the ultimate underground you haven't heard of yet, you poser

[–] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I think that's called Pantera

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Dammit, that got me lol. That's a literal lol right there. Fuck me, that was a good one

That's why I stopped listening to metal. Too hot in the summer.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 35 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Just listen to ska in the summer and metal the rest of the year

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Funk, it's basically thrash but with a wah pedal. And more purple shirts. And black people 👍

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I listen to funk in September, metal in October and November, Christmas songs in December, and Irish music in March.

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

I also listen to Christmas songs in December.

And I listen to Irish music too.

I like the punk end of ska; or maybe it's the ska end of punk....

[–] skooma_king@piefed.social 2 points 2 hours ago

So long and thanks for all the shoes…

[–] mmmm@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 hours ago

Just paint your metal white and your problem will be solved.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

So... Aesthethica by Liturgy?

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 4 hours ago

That's not the problem, since she is hot anyway.

[–] nyctre@piefed.social 11 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yes! I agree 100%. That's why I buy non black tshirts nowadays. These are the latest acquisitions:

Yob

Death

Cult of Luna

[–] Olap@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

Preach, I quit black metal t shirts ten years ago and haven't looked back. Unless of course there is no other option, or the colour is particularly crap

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

My brother used to have a white kreator shirt

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago
[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I’ve got a good few, but they are local bands, so it was likely a cost decision, but I definitely sport them more when it’s hot.

I’ll sweat balls in my Conan shirts without a second thought, though. Because fuckin’ Conan.

All hail Volt Thrower.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 3 points 5 hours ago

I have a old Sucide Silence shirt that is the depiction of a nude woman covered with long hair hugging a skeleton that is white.

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world -2 points 4 hours ago

I want her to use my face as a chair.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I have a neon blue Cattle Decapitation tank with a bright yellow logo, love that shirt.
