History In the UK, where goth rock originated, the term “gothic” or “goth” was used to refer to a subculture and style of music since circa 1982; however, in Toronto the usage of the term “goth” and the identification of a subculture as goth did not occur until years later in 1988, when goth rock was already in the midst of what is often referred to as the ‘second generation’ or ‘second wave’. Early years: the “freaks” In Toronto, a subculture called “the freaks” existed prior to 1982 and was a cultural blend of New Romantic, Punk rock, Death punk and Hardcore punk enthusiasts. The term “freak” was a reference to individuals in this scene, and as inclusion had no specific requirements beyond participation in the music scene, it was more diverse than other goth/punk scenes. The “freaks” at this time included fans of specific music genres, and did not exclude people of colour, transgendered individuals, gays, or any others who participated in the Toronto underground music scene. Some “freaks”, notably Death punks and New Romantics, were extremely fashion-conscious, dressing in darker styles modeled on old black-and-white horror films, Morticia Addams, Lily Munster, film noir or ratty New Romantic and glam rock fashions, but maintained a local “freak” identity and a general lack of knowledge of burgeoning UK goth scene. Some thought of these individuals as “pretentious, vacuous, fashion victims.” Although the term “freak” was used generically, many punks disliked being labeled freaks themselves, and considered the term to apply only to others. Some punks used the term “Blitz Kids” when referring to the darker styled New Romantics after 1982. Paul Samuels, co-owner of Goth Club ‘Savage Garden’, Toronto’s current longest running goth-bar, reported “we were wearing [pointy] boots, black jeans and tour t-shirts; after that it was the frilly shirts with long sleeves. Then I mashed in make-up and black, backcombed hair with lots of hairspray. We became the freaks of the town.” The word “freak” was not derogatory; those who called themselves “freak” tended to call everyone in this music scene “freak”. In this group were the same individuals who would later become known as “the goths” after 1988. However, unlike concurrent goth subcultures elsewhere, many of these “freaks” were primarily fashion-oriented as opposed to identifying as strongly with gothic rock genre of music in particular. The area between University Avenue and Spadina Avenue on Queen Street West was home to the artistic community for many decades, in part due to the proximity of the Ontario College of Art; however, rent increases in the ’80s drove many to move to adjacent neighbourhoods, most notably West Queen West, which is west of Spadina Avenue on Queen Street West. Kensington Market also attracted underground or alternative lifestyle individuals, including those who later became the goths. Live venues in the Queen Street West area started refusing to take punk bands, “Instead, they demanded progressive acts who were evolving out of punk like beautiful butterflies from ugly cocoons.”; “music here was for connoseurs of post-punk new music.” says punk rock journalist S. Black. Queen Street West was the center of goth revival at the time of the “Queen Street exodus across Spadina.” The area became known as the “Fashion District” for its textile and upholstery wholesalers, which allowed goths to cheaply experiment with styles. Emergence of goth beginning 1988 It was 1988 that “Goth” arrived in Toronto. The term “Goth” began to be used to refer to those “freaks” who centered on Gothic fashion and Gothic rock. Elsewhere, merely being a fan of Gothic rock would generally define an individual as a “Goth”, but this was not the case in Toronto, where the idea of being “Gothic” was taken very literally; until the mid ’90s, the Goths in Toronto considered Gothic literature, romantic poetry, Gothic fashion and Gothic aesthetics, especially Beauty, to be subcultural requirements as well. Anne Rice, Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Byron, Bram Stoker and other Gothic romanticist authors were extensively read and considered social obligations. A new, darker vampire fashion became the default definition of Torontonian Goth style. The year 1988 also saw the opening of Toronto’s first Gothic fashion store, Siren, on Queen Street West and by 1998 it eventually become the “world’s oldest shop catering to the combined enthusiasms of the overlapping communities devoted to the gothic and vampire genres.” Groovella Blak, who co-owned Siren with her husband Morpheus Blak, also founded the Gothic Society of Canada (which still exists today as “The Dark Place”). Groovella was Toronto’s best known “Goth girl”, considered a sort of ‘fairy godmother’, and at the height of the Toronto vampire craze in mid-’90s had her canine teeth filed into fangs. However, Icewind, the organizer of The Toronto Vampire Meetup Group, stated that obsession with vampire mythology and fashion is simply part of Goth subculture itself and does not make one a vampire, “they’re not what we’d call vampires, they just like the culture.” Industrial music became a major additional style popular in the Toronto goth scene; Skinny Puppy a Vancouver-based Industrial band inspired an interest in Animal Rights in many “Industrial-goths” in Toronto. Also at this time, bands such as Depeche Mode, although not goth themselves, were very influential in attracting mainstream music followers into the goth subculture in Toronto. On September 3, 1992, a bar named “Sanctuary: The Vampire Sex Bar” opened on Queen Street West, in step with the increasing popularity of vampiric-goth archetypes. Sanctuary originally imposed a gothic dress code to strictly adhere to the gothic fashion aspect of the scene. Sexual activity did not actually occur in the bar. The book, “Tales From Sanctuary: The Vampire Sex Bar” (1997) documented tales and anecdotes from Toronto’s alleged “vampire” scene. In the mid-’90s Fetish fashion started gaining popularity in the Toronto goth scene, and gradually many individuals soon equated “Fetish” with “Goth”. Similarly pop-culture began to heavily influence the Toronto goths: with Marilyn Manson and Betty Page being perceived by the public as “goth”, and the movie “The Crow” showcasing gothic aesthetics and goth protagonists, more and more Torontonians became interested in being part of the “goth subculture”. Although these new emerging movements did not necessarily share the same outlooks as the earlier goths, nor an interest in the same styles of music and fashion, the scene itself flourished with a new emphasis on sexuality. By the late ’90s, and continuing thereafter, Toronto goths held regular BDSM or goth fetish nights. Costuming was a major aspect of this event. Unlike purist fetishists, goths were more likely to be found laughing or taking turns. Sex and sexuality also played a larger part at goth fetish nights than purist fetishist events. Increasing mainstream influences Forever Knight (19921996) was an internationally aired television series filmed in and around Toronto about an 800-year-old vampire who becomes a member of the Metropolitan Toronto Police and attempts to regain his humanity. The local references, landmarks and street names intrigued fans as part of a city of vampires. Torontonian fantasy author, Tanya Huff, wrote a series of supernatural detective novels known as the “Blood Books” between 1991 until present, featuring a fictional historical romance author, Henry Fitzroy, who happens to be a vampire. The series is set in Toronto and uses familiar landmarks. In 2007, this series was adapted for television under the title “Blood Ties” and airs on Lifetime Television. The vampire novel The Night Inside (1994) referred to West Queen West as “a crowd of vampire wanna-bes” with “pale faces, black-lined eyes.” In Toronto, the goth subculture became widespread enough that the media referred to it as “pop-culture”, in contrast with the term “cult” that would be applied in later years. In 1998, Johnson Cummins, a music journalist for the Montreal Mirror, reported that Toronto had a higher concentration of goths than anywhere else in the world and that anyone walking down Queen Street could not avoid seeing many of them. At this time, Mitch Krol, lead singer of the Toronto-based goth band Masochistic Religion, became disenchanted with direction of the Toronto scene, calling it shallow, pretentious, primarily concerned with money and glam, and stating that it was no longer goth. Masochistic Religion thereafter relocated to Montreal, Quebec. School shootings and decline in popularity In 1999, a school shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado created a public backlash against local goths and especially gothic youths as some teachers and parents suddenly began to view goth fashion with suspicion and mistrust. Violence of any kind had always been very rare at Toronto goth clubs, and notable figures in the goth community spoke to the media against associating violence with “goth”. They insisted that the shooters were not goths, did not listen to goth music, and that goths were non-violent and pacifistic. Certain elements of the media, notably the local entertainment and culture media, also defended goths. Eye Weekly columnist Donna Lypchuk wrote, “I’ve been laughing for the past two weeks as talking heads blame the goth subculture for the killings in Colorado. The mainstream goth movement, which has been around for at least 25 years, is not secret enough to be a subversive society.” Five months later a report from authorities in Colorado confirmed that the shooting was not related to goth subculture, and stated that the shooters held goth music in “contempt”. The Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance researched the subculture and published a report with the conclusion that goths are non-violent, pacifistic, passive and tolerant of others, and that many in the media had incorrectly associated the goth subculture with violence, hatred of minorities, white supremacy, etc. They found that the goth ideology is actually based on recognition, identification and grief over societal and personal evils that the mainstream culture wished to ignore or forget, these being the prevalent themes in goth music. Regardless of the fact that the Columbine Shooting was not related to goth subculture, the Toronto goth scene began to decline. Goth bars closed, and goth culture-oriented businesses shut down, including Siren and Sanctuary, which was the longest-running gothic bar as well as the first industrial club in Canada. By mid 2001 goth music was no longer in significant demand in Toronto, and consequently night clubs had generally stopped playing it. Clinging to the idea that the goth subculture was not dying but merely changing, in 2002, local goths tried to revitalize the community by holding events keyed towards introducing older goths to the younger generation. In 2003 it was reported that where other cities had lost their base of goth and industrial fans, Toronto’s scene was holding on, or even growing; By 2004 it was reported that local interest in goth rock was stagnant, and some DJ’s advocated a shift towards a Cyber Trance or cybergoth music.. By late 2005, one media outlet was predicting the downfall of the goth scene in Toronto, stating goth had “returned to its sociopathic roots” and advising readers to “bask in the nostalgia while it lasts.” After the Dawson College shooting on September 13, 2006, the Toronto Sun criticized goths: describing it as “unbelievable” that in the wake of Dawson, in the nearby City of London, Ontario, goths were organizing to raise money for charity. Toronto Sun Columnist, Michele Mandele advised goths to “stay home” and suggested that goths feel no responsibility to help prevent tragedies such as the shooting at Dawson College. Whether this event and its associated media coverage has hurt the image of the local goth culture as much as Columbine is still not reported. Subcultural traits Toronto’s goths have been noted for subcultural traits which are not noted for goth subcultures in general. Mainstream acceptance According to Nancy Kilpatrick’s book, “The Goth Bible”, goths generally are secretive and goths tend to hide the meaning of goth away from the mainstream. She found that goth is an underground movement and keeping it separate from the mainstream is what keeps it alive. In 1999 Diane Sawyer, of the American television show “20/20″, dubbed goth as “a dark, underground national phenomenon”. However, according to Matthew Didier, founder of The Toronto Ghosts and Hauntings Research Society and regular contributor to the CFRB paranormal radio show “Mind/Shift”, speaking of Torontonian goths “They want to be ‘professional’ and be accepted for their contributions to whatever than shunned. They want to be “The Goth Lawyer” or “The Goth Accountant”… not the scary person in the gutter.” According to “Time Out Toronto”, a tourism guide published in 2005, the local goths had a slogan: “Making Toronto a darker place.” This may be consistent with the multicultural nature of Toronto. According to the United Nations Development Programme, Toronto has the second-highest percentage of foreign-born population among world cities. Multiculturalism became official policy in Canada in 1971, before any other country in the world. Rightfully or not, in Toronto, after the Columbine shooting, goth professionals, also called “Corporate Goths”, have often felt as if they had to hide their subcultural identity from the workplace because of the negative stigma associated with goth culture. Apparently heightened emphasis on fashion Fashion is widely considered to be part of the goth subculture, however in Toronto, “goth” was an outgrowth of what was already a very fashion conscious subsection of the “freak” subculture (see History), and since then, fashion predominantly tended to define “goth” in Toronto. The Toronto mainstream culture media reported that fashion was the most appealing facet of the goth scene. In 1998, Mitch Kroll, lead singer of the, then Toronto-based, goth band, Masochistic Religion, criticized “the people who were calling themselves goth in Toronto” for their shallow over-emphasis on fashion, calling them “glam”. After the Columbine Massacre in 1999 one notable goth club owner in Toronto, Lance Goth, commented to the media that he believed the shooters “weren’t the least bit goth. They didn’t even dye their hair black.” It is not clear after 1999 whether what remains of Toronto goth subculture, emphasizes fashion more, less, or the same as goth subculture elsewhere. Historic subcultural events In 1998, Toronto was host to Convergence IV, an annual North American meeting of net.goths. Events included: Masochistic Religion and DJs Michael Salo and Greg Clow played at the Opera House on August 21, 1998. Faith and the Muse, Rhea’s Obsession, the Changelings and My Scarlet Life with DJ Marylace played at the Opera House on August 22. An April March and DJs Lady Bathory and Lord Pale played Clinton’s on August 23, with the goth/medieval magick sideshow Carnival Xaotika as the added attraction. Photographs can be found here.
