The Goths and Steampunks are an amazing group of people. So much time, effort, and money put into their costumes. I can't believe you did the 199 steps again. The queues were madness. Another great vlog. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.
thank you so much Chris, its just such an amazing atmosphere, we have been going for over twenty years and quietly taking photos from afar so to now finally being part of the furniture is just amazing to us. very privileged to be able to chat to these lovely people so many times a year. that bridge crossing was crazy though!
@GENerationXplorers swimming against the tide both ways by the look of it. It just shows that your hard work is paying off when you get recognised at these events. Well deserved too.
These Goth festivals look like so much fun & you captured it beautifully. The costumes were incredible. Thanks for *spinning us around* & showing us all the cool things we don’t get to experience. You 2 are amazing & *Congratulations On 2K* Have a fantastic weekend my friends!
Thank you so much Riggs and dad 😉 they are fabulous events! you know us always for spinning you around and checking it out 😂❤️ have a great weekend too 👍
Awesome strolling around Whitby Goth Weekend, I love video you've shared! Here's to hoping this view and comment contribute a little to your continued success. Keep rocking it!
Guys you nailed it again, not only the costumes contributed to the atmosphere, but also the clouds! The stage is ready for another show under the command of fantastic directors!!! 👏👏
thanks you Ervin, it was a very gloomy weekend for sure but i think that is part of Whitby’s character, irrespective of the weather the place still charms! hope you have an amazing weekend!
Looked a fab day out had by all. Goth weekend seems to go from strength to strength. Some cool costumes. The Predator one was neat. Pity about the food situation. A bit too busy for the likes of me but even I could bite the bullet for a few hours...well maybe 😊
we kept thinking about you on that bridge. ive been in some gridlocked situations in the past NYE at times square springs to mind, but that bridge might just be the winner! i loved the predator costume too, great sfx.
I love how creative these people are with all of the amazing costumes! It looks like it was very busy and a fun time had by all. I hope you guys are having a great weekend!
Lovely to spot a fair few people i know from years of being a trader there. Still, I'm so disappointed to see some sitting on the gravestones again. The church has asked many times for respect - many of those graves are ancestors of families still living in whitby. Seeing the crowds, and the weather, I'm rather glad I don't still go there. But I do miss all the friends I made over the years. :)
Ooorrr lovely you spot people you know and sorry it comes with showing the disrespect we do feel more should be done in the flow of people across the bridge and more in the graveyard, wow knowing ancestors still exist if people knew this maybe more respect would be shown! thank you for your comment! more rules should be in place in the graveyard! 👍❤️
We enjoyed your return Nick and Jill. So many people with many being suspicious looking characters. Fun folks and we loved meeting some of them. Lovely🕷 btw Jill.
I now look forward to this event. The goth weekend in Whitby did not disappoint. Big lines and wonderful costumes. Enjoyed it all. Cheers to you and well done👍
Embarking on this grand journey in October 2023 sounds incredibly exciting! 🎃🖤 I can't wait to dive into the mesmerizing world of the Whitby Goth Festival through your exploration. It's always fascinating to see how such events hold a special place in the hearts of attendees. Looking forward to joining you on this captivating adventure! 👻🕷🦇
Looks like such a fun event in a beautiful place on the coast, we don't have anything like this event here in North Wales 😃 and like that guy said 'You can be what you want to be ' So many people and the costumes were great, definitely a lot busier than previous ones you have shown and it's great that they let you film them and chat. I love the abbey, shame it was closed and that dinosaur was cute ! That was fabulous to see 😃👍~ Anna
thank you Anna 🙏 yes im amazed too that some of the more fringe attendees let us film them but they genuinely seem as happy to be there and be involved with everyone as much as anyone else. we got hours of footage this time, hopefully this was a respectful edit that didn’t exclude anyone we chatted to! we were there for half a day and when we got home we were absolutely exhausted. I don’t know how these attendees manage it, they dress up, look amazing and go for three full days and nights! they must have world class stamina! ♥️🏴
Great video again guys, it was lovely to meet you & have a chat. We'll keep a look out for your next video. See you next year. Love from Caren (Medusa) & Paul (Predator) from Boroughbridge ❤
Hi Caren and Paul it was fabulous meeting you guys and you looked amazing 🤩 we are on insta under the same channel name if you guys are on there? Catch you soon and yes definitely see you at the next Whitby event you attend 👍🖤❤️
Hello Nick and Jill 👋. That’s really lovely 🥰 place and with a very lovely ❤️ people around. Love the dresses. Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing to us. Have a nice weekend. Greetings from Cyprus 🇨🇾.
Hi Jill & Nick! Loved all the cool costumes and the fun and friendly atmosphere. Whitby's the perfect setting for a Goth Festival 🖤 The place was heaving! Those queues were very long. Hooray for Jill's sandwiches! 👍😁 This was fabulous! Thanks for taking us along! ❤🖤
I got there just before 12.00, which was really late for me but I was waiting for my daughter and granddaughter who both wanted to come but then cried off with colds at the last minute -Grrrr! It must have been 15.30 when I left was the temperature was dropping and the good light was fading, so headed for the train station but that was packed so I power walked it back to the car. For some reason in my video I said there were 100 years Qs at all the fish n chips shops instead of 10 year Qs but either way, man it was busy, never seen Whitby as busy as that even in the height of summer. I had intended to go on the Sunday as well but woke up to torrential rain when I got up at 06.00, so just went back to bed. Hurrah for Jill's sandwiches and I bet you were ready for them as well, I was starving when I got my fish n chips at 15.00, especially as I normally have my nosebag at 12.00, cheers Alan
well done on that fantastic looking fish and chips, we would have given an arm and a leg for that. even the grotty chippies (they know who they are) had queues through the yazoo! we found a place selling some dodgy looking spicy curry portions we could have ate at but having not tried them previously thought it unwise. everything seemed to conspire against us on the day, took us well over an hour to park! we were in Whitby and parked from 2pm until 6pm, the plan was to eat there at tea time and then get some night time shots of the abbey. by the time you were leaving we were just clearing the Pavillion! was a wonderful day though, think we both picked the best day and having seen both videos there is hardly any crossover characters. amazing! 👍
Thanks for an amazing video from the Gothic Weekend in Whitby. Loved it and Loved that you both really showed people visiting the festival and not just people going there curious on visitors of the festival. Have a great weekend 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇
thank you so much. its been an honour and a privilege to get to meet and know these lovely attendees in person. we have struck up some great friendships in the short time we have been covering it and i look forward to meeting everyone again and again. without youtube we would just be the camera shy person in the background that we actually were for twenty years.. ♥️
@@GENerationXplorers awww... couldn't notice that shy bit at all. I have been to Whitby twice, but never during Gothic Weekend. But I hope one day I can go there. Trevor is from UK, so he is the one that showed me that Lovely place. So suitable with the sign when you just walked all steps too... just beside a cemetery. Thanks again!
that dinosaur was a great sport, very cute! something needs to be done about that bridge! later that day it opened to let boats through, you should have seen the backlog then! have an amazing weekend Leon and Journey!
Wonderful!!! I love seeing the goth videos. You always do an awesome job covering the event. Lots of festive people out n about. I always love watching. I went thru a small phase of dressing all in black in high school good times. Thank you! 👍😊🇨🇦
I loved the one last year and I loved the one now. Such amazing costumes. Whitby is a lovely location too. Sorry to have missed the premier. I sometimes veel I need an extra few hours in a day to get all things done I want done.Most enjoyable for my Sunday morning with my forst coffee. Happy Sunday Jill and Nick. 👌🇳🇱🙋♀🇳🇿
No problem Anita we know exactly how you feel! It is a fabulous event with fabulous people and costumes! we enjoy it more and more everytime we go! Happy Sunday lovely lady 👍❤️
Looking back at your previously showcased Whitby's Goth Festival and I must admit it still looks awesome and maybe a tad busier (to say the least) than previous years for obvious reasons. The amount of effort and creativity going into the costumes, activities, and attractions truly is mesmerising. I am actually amazed that you made it across the bridge and through the narrow streets with that sea of people coming at you guys😮. Well done Jill and Nick for showing us around this incredible festival👍. Have a great Sunday!
It was my first Goth weekend and I fell in love with Whitby, booked my summer holiday right away, although I wish to visit the Krampus run in December and the next Goth weekend in April. Thanks for the video. x
So sorry for not watching Friday, not been a well chicken but now thankfully feeling back to myself. EPIC to see the return of the WGW with the Gen Xers. Ahh Chris and Kev were cute. Really loving the vibe of this one, do you think people are more drawn to it because it's so close to October and Halloween etc? Loving seeing the variety of outfits, some are spectacular! Wowee that bridge and the lanes were bloody busy, good sign of a great and successful festival though. Elvira costume was amazing! She looked wicked. Shame the abbey was shut, but rain is evil! Pumpkins in the baskets were a cool touch. Loving this, so positive and fun, thank you both! Epic!
sorry to hear you haven’t been well Alessa, glad your on the mend. yes i think your right, more people are drawn to this one as its close to Halloween! i loved those pumpkins in baskets too, going to have to get onboard with that next year! rain is certainly evil we have had our fair share of it up here! hope your having an amazing week xx
It’s an incredible event held twice a year! Glad to have met you ate the budd files look forward to checking out your content! Have a great day new friend 👍❤️🖤
God that's quiet, that is not busy by any means! When I used to go in the 2000 to 2008 era much more busy than that. You got more tourists than goths now and was the other way around years ago when there was much more of us goths. It has changed so much!
Very very different, now it seems to be more people dressed in fancy dress than the true goths and more people seem to be wrapped up in the steampunk movement now than there used to be. There are actually several genres of goth dependant on music taste. If you can ever get yourself to Germany and go to the WGT festival which is way bigger than the WGW, you will get an idea if what the WGW used to ge like but on a smaller scale.
We’ve been going for twenty years and have seen many changes over the years. There were several real “life choice goths” at the event who we chatted too and declined to be on camera. The general opinion from them was that most goths avoid the October event and prefer the event earlier in the year. Its lovely to see how inclusive and accepting the event has become.
The steampunk genre was only just starting when I used to go and back then it was more darker than it seem to be now. I noticed a lot of people have jumped on that bandwagon of late and going by this video, they seem to have swamped Whitby. Does the pavillion still have the main event at night? I saw from the video that the stalls during the day have really shrunk. You used to always get the odd photographer mainly from the Whitby Gazette but I have delt with the many pervs just going to slimelight on the weekends travelling by train from the Midlands. It looks as though the October festival itself has become a tourist attraction now. I never did the April ones, just stuck to October. Are people still jumping the wall at the Abbey at night to watch the sunrise? I never suggest trying that in a full corset, latex and transmuted boots😂😂
@nicola_k-s yes the Pavillion does still have the main events at the night time. Your absolutely right though, they separated the event and setup two steampunk weekends to help keep the goth weekends just goth 16 years ago and whilst at first it kind of worked now its just given them four weekends to attend instead of two! To be fair we’ve not seen any photographers getting photos without permission, pretty sure the guy on here was just an absent minded troll. The event has a huge press following with the national press and tv now also attending the event. Given the price the Abbey charges for admission i certainly hope they jump the wall in their droves! Sadly this last weekend the Abbey and many surrounding campsites were closed as they were all waterlogged.
Forget Halloween and its costumes, Goth has won the contest hands down!! Amazing!! Actually knew a fella that was an accountant in real life and Goth on special occasions. Just most ordinary people out having a good time. Bruce and Otis
Hi Bruce you are so right we would love to find out more about their day to day life, it’s so interesting! fabulous event we always enjoy it! love to you and Otis 👍❤️
Great video guys. Wow that’s a busy Whitby!!! That’s too busy for us! We loved that we had those steps to ourselves when we did them. What a fun event though and some amazing costumes. Top dinosaur costume. The atmosphere does look amazing. Loved the bulldog! Thank god for the back up sandwich! Too bad no chips were in the offing. Great video guys, sorry we missed the premiere. Cheers 🍻
Hi guys it was the busiest we have ever experienced, pretty mental! would have starved if it wasn’t for Jill’s sarnies 🤣 hope you’ve had a lovely weekend 👍
Hi Nick and Jill great video we absolutely love the goth weekend and you have done such a fantastic job. Love the interviews. Our favourite goth band are The Cure we have been to see them many times over the years there are usually some goth bands at download Festival to enjoy. We love the outfits brilliant. It certainly looked very busy. We loved the coat at 7:00. Good idea you had the back up sandwiches 🥪. Caron and Paul were good 👍. Dawn loves Jills gloves. Good work guys hope you have a great weekend Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤
Hi both. That was great!! Loved that lady with the cup and saucer on her belt 🤷♂️😂 That was bonkers busy though 😳 Poor old Jill was all dressed to eat out, then relegated to a sandwich 😢😂
Hi Nick and Jill Happy Goth Week!! Absolutely EPIC!!!! So many PPL in the town that energize its economy, I reckon. PPL in their own creative characters and they are pretty serious about dressing I admire your passion and being an advocate about this event. You are appreciated. haha everybody wants you, two in costumes hahahaha I will see you for next time...Brilliant!! Well done editing. Interviewing is superb! Happy November...
i love that you return to this! was it awesome running into so many viewers? that line for the steps! 😲 boom boom acka lacka lacka boom, walk that dinosaur! 🦖 costumes were amazing again. what a day! i was going to apologize for missing the premier and it taking a few days to watch (i always look forward to these festivals with y'all), but looks like its gotten attention it deserves. have a great week jill & nick! 🛴❤
Hi guys you are so good at do in these goth weekends at whitby its great to see people coming up to you and sayinh we watch your channel your becoming celebtities lol. Iv never seen that place so busy on any vlog keep up the great work and speak soonx
such an amazing day, gosh we got recognised a lot, even off camera. even doing our “serious” segments it happens now. very nice though, from such humble beginnings its nice to see things grow so quickly. coming up we have Krampus Runs, more budget days out, another boarded up, a follow up to a boarded up, homeless in winter, immigration hotels, second homes housing crisis, culture shock moving to yorkshire and so so many more videos to put out… ..there is not enough time. if only we had an army behind us to put out this content daily, we are sat on a years worth of footage now..
Outstanding! Once again I missed the weekend. I'll get there one day... Still, gives me tho opportunity to deny being a goth despite dressing in black all the time and loving the Sisters and Nephilim 😂 Great one! That bridge was bonkers! Rise and reverberate 🖤
Going to be controversial but is it really "goth"? Seems more a general fancy dress festival. Very little seems to do with music and goth is, at it's roots, a music based subculture. After a fair amount of digging, it appears there is music with both The Mission, and The 69 Eyes playing but this is never really seen or mentioned. I'll stress there is nothing wrong with people meeting up, being inclusive and having a great time and really hope it continues. I cannot help though comparing it with the German Wave-Gotik-Treffen which still retains it's musical roots. However Leipzig where it is held, is a major city with 600K population. Slightly different to Whitby with a population of 13K. If I went to Whitby expecting a "goth festival" I feel as though I would feel cheated.
On point freaky.. the cosplayers have taken over this inclusive goth event in whitby. Well goths you can only blame yourselves for being so “inclusive”. Imagine a punk event being taken over by rock and rollers, would never happen,, shame on you goths for being so accepting!
One truly amazing colourful Goth film. So many costumes, so many JBP, so many steps 199. The bridge looked totally over crowded, so many people it made me thankful I’m not a people person. Would love to see a joint GENeration Xplorers & Alan METALMAN Goth venture. Yes this is most certainly a FIVE STAR FILM ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Well done Nick & Jill.
im not sure we would have recognised the wonderful alan metalman in that stunning jacket he wore! youtube broke down on sunday and many still believe to this day it was his jacket that broke it! that bridge was crazy, ive checked the weight limit for the bridge and with some crafty mathematics have worked out it could hold just under 2000 people at a time before collapsing. im quite good with judging crowd numbers, i think it was still safe but should be of concern to someone at Whitby’s Health and Safety Department. thank you so much for great support and comment, i’ll be joining you for a beer tonight! 🍻
Wow it's heaving there! Shame the Abbey's waterlogged, weathers been shocking lately! Scuppered my bonfire night plans! Beautiful girl at 8:22 but she must have been cold! Great dancing dino! Well done on being prepped with emergency sarnies Jill! These events are great because everyone's so happy to be on camera! Haha cheers Frank, Dora and William! Great stuff guys!
bit of a sort, she definitely looked the part, mind you i get more complaints about her on the gravestone than anything else.. there is a definite disconnect going on in whitby with the goths, the cos players and the japanese tourists who come to the area in their droves. im very happy to say that we seem to straddle all three, we love them all equally, yet i will say i chatted at huge length to so many “real” goths that were lovely but 1000% did not want any part of this video. for them it is a lifestyle and cultural choice. id like to investigate it further without upsetting any of my core audiences, wont be easy.l
@@GENerationXplorers somehow I didn't even notice the grave, oops! 🤦♂️ ahh fair enough, you must have spoken to loads of people, I would've been worn out, you did well to keep the energy levels up!
Oh wooow seems I’m way too late to the party but amazing to see the traction the video got !!! Also those fantastic Goth costumes! What better you can expect for Halloween! And all the interviews too 😊 people seem to be lovely there!
What a fantastic place to explore over the Halloween season. I love the store front displays, very creative. I also love all of the fantastic costumes so many people are wearing, it must cost them a fortune and I love how many enjoy talking and being on camera. Goth bands that I like would be The Cure and Evanescence off the top of my head. Such a great event for the local economy too!!
You might need to have a word with the band and wikipedia then mate.. “Generally classified as a gothic alternative metal and hard rock band, Evanescence have a diverse sound containing various musical styles including classical music, alternative music, heavy metal, industrial music, and electronic music, driven by Lee's contrasting musical pursuits and introspective songwriting.”
@@GENerationXplorers Gothic and Goth are two different genres in music. No actual Goth has ever classed the bands sound as Goth, just as bands such as Within temptation are also classed as being Gothic but not Goth. This does not mean that many Goths do not like their music, after all you can listen to any genre of music. Wikipedia should never be taken as fact as it often edited by people that have no knowledge on the subjects they discuss
When I watch your vids it makes me happy and sad as I haven't been to Whitby for so long know as I just can't seem to find the time, and u 2 are such a lovely couple look forward to your next vid ❤❤❤
Hi Anton so sorry to hear you don’t have the time to visit the lovely Whitby! Thank you for your lovely comment! It’s the steampunk in Whitby this coming weekend so we will be covering that for sure so watch this space have a good week 👍😂
What an amazing weekend. Definitely some crossover between the steampunks and the goths. Not enough moon tans though 😂Some really fabulous costumes this time around. Nice Gen Xers.
@@GENerationXplorers the Goth white skin we used to call a moon tan 😂We're not too bad. We were supposed to have been heading to Vietnam tomorrow but we had to cancel, so that was a bit sad. Maybe sometime next year now. 😂
Hi Nick & Jill I'm so pleased you persuaded me that this was going to be a fun video to watch ... absolutely spot on and not at all scary ...not like the trailer that had me hiding my eyes haha haha This was brilliant with two dominant factors ... firstly ... wow sooooooo busy haha..... that bridge was something else lol, but you know what, the other thing is, everyone is having a fantastic time ❤ I think someone said "you just be what you want to be " and someone else " brings everyone together" I whole heartedly agree. The town, and you two, embraced the festival and the atmosphere must have been amazing. All the costumes awsome... difficult to chose a favourite but the dinasor did make me laugh. BTW did you see any Whitby Jet Ice Cream ? I saw an ad during the week ... would have been perfect for the festival .... check it out 😆😅🤣 xx
🤣 hi Christine thank you for another fabulous comment! wow, no we will look out for that ice cream, sounds fun! Glad this one didn’t scare you! Have a great week ahead 👍❤️
good evening nick and jill. i was just thinking you should go to a doctor who convention and do some filming. that is if your into doctor who. i am a big doctor who fan. doctor who and blake 7. have a good weekend, mates.
Hi there lovely Kris, Doctor who is cool but we don’t get many conventions near us but there is something you’d like here in Scarborough! won’t tell you here will take a picture next time we pass it just for you and email you! Have a great weekend lovely friend from across the pond 🇺🇸👍❤️
The Goths and Steampunks are an amazing group of people. So much time, effort, and money put into their costumes. I can't believe you did the 199 steps again. The queues were madness. Another great vlog. Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.
thank you so much Chris, its just such an amazing atmosphere, we have been going for over twenty years and quietly taking photos from afar so to now finally being part of the furniture is just amazing to us. very privileged to be able to chat to these lovely people so many times a year. that bridge crossing was crazy though!

What an interesting event!! It’s quite the contrast seeing the beautiful historic buildings and the gothic style clothing!! Very unique for sure!
It really is a fabulous event! Thanks guys! Lovely having you back 👍❤️

I got there just before 12.00, which was really late for me but I was waiting for my daughter and granddaughter who both wanted to come but then cried off with colds at the last minute -Grrrr!

well done on that fantastic looking fish and chips, we would have given an arm and a leg for that. even the grotty chippies (they know who they are) had queues through the yazoo! we found a place selling some dodgy looking spicy curry portions we could have ate at but having not tried them previously thought it unwise. everything seemed to conspire against us on the day, took us well over an hour to park! we were in Whitby and parked from 2pm until 6pm, the plan was to eat there at tea time and then get some night time shots of the abbey. by the time you were leaving we were just clearing the Pavillion! was a wonderful day though, think we both picked the best day and having seen both videos there is hardly any crossover characters. amazing! 👍
Cool too see the goth Weekend So many good costumes. Thanks for sharing with us Generation Xplorers , Generation Xperiences 👍
Cheers Adzey have a great weekend ❤️
@GENerationXplorers Much appreciated, mate. Hope you both have a good one too 👍
Oh wow, so busy. Lovely to see, some great costumes. Brilliant 🤩
Thank you Cara 🤗 we just love these events 👍
Thanks for an amazing video from the Gothic Weekend in Whitby.
Loved it and Loved that you both really showed people visiting the festival and not just people going there curious on visitors of the festival.
Have a great weekend 🦇🖤🖤🖤🖤🦇
thank you so much. its been an honour and a privilege to get to meet and know these lovely attendees in person. we have struck up some great friendships in the short time we have been covering it and i look forward to meeting everyone again and again. without youtube we would just be the camera shy person in the background that we actually were for twenty years.. ♥️
@@GENerationXplorers awww... couldn't notice that shy bit at all.
I have been to Whitby twice, but never during Gothic Weekend. But I hope one day I can go there. Trevor is from UK, so he is the one that showed me that Lovely place.
So suitable with the sign when you just walked all steps too... just beside a cemetery.
Thanks again!
Crazy all the people on the steps and on that bridge. Wow. Love the dancing dinosaur.
that dinosaur was a great sport, very cute! something needs to be done about that bridge! later that day it opened to let boats through, you should have seen the backlog then! have an amazing weekend Leon and Journey!
Wonderful!!! I love seeing the goth videos. You always do an awesome job covering the event. Lots of festive people out n about. I always love watching. I went thru a small phase of dressing all in black in high school good times. Thank you! 👍😊🇨🇦
Thanks Christine it’s a great event 👍
I loved the one last year and I loved the one now. Such amazing costumes. Whitby is a lovely location too. Sorry to have missed the premier. I sometimes veel I need an extra few hours in a day to get all things done I want done.Most enjoyable for my Sunday morning with my forst coffee. Happy Sunday Jill and Nick. 👌🇳🇱🙋♀🇳🇿
No problem Anita we know exactly how you feel! It is a fabulous event with fabulous people and costumes! we enjoy it more and more everytime we go! Happy Sunday lovely lady 👍❤️
Wow - it is really busy 👍👍😊😊. Amazing people and great costumes ❤❤
Yes, thank you 👍❤️
Very nice costume! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Chris 🤗
Looking back at your previously showcased Whitby's Goth Festival and I must admit it still looks awesome and maybe a tad busier (to say the least) than previous years for obvious reasons. The amount of effort and creativity going into the costumes, activities, and attractions truly is mesmerising. I am actually amazed that you made it across the bridge and through the narrow streets with that sea of people coming at you guys😮. Well done Jill and Nick for showing us around this incredible festival👍. Have a great Sunday!
Thanks Laurie and Karen you too 👍❤️
It was my first Goth weekend and I fell in love with Whitby, booked my summer holiday right away, although I wish to visit the Krampus run in December and the next Goth weekend in April. Thanks for the video. x
thats great to hear! it will be our first Krampus Run in December, very excited for it! 👍
Çok güzel bir video paylaşım için teşekkürler. Bağlantıda kalalım.Zili açtım, abone oldum. Türkiye'den selamlar 🌹🌺🇹🇷👍
Thank you for you comment 👍
So sorry for not watching Friday, not been a well chicken but now thankfully feeling back to myself. EPIC to see the return of the WGW with the Gen Xers. Ahh Chris and Kev were cute. Really loving the vibe of this one, do you think people are more drawn to it because it's so close to October and Halloween etc? Loving seeing the variety of outfits, some are spectacular! Wowee that bridge and the lanes were bloody busy, good sign of a great and successful festival though. Elvira costume was amazing! She looked wicked. Shame the abbey was shut, but rain is evil! Pumpkins in the baskets were a cool touch. Loving this, so positive and fun, thank you both! Epic!
sorry to hear you haven’t been well Alessa, glad your on the mend. yes i think your right, more people are drawn to this one as its close to Halloween! i loved those pumpkins in baskets too, going to have to get onboard with that next year! rain is certainly evil we have had our fair share of it up here! hope your having an amazing week xx
i would of loved to have visited this
It’s an incredible event held twice a year! Glad to have met you ate the budd files look forward to checking out your content! Have a great day new friend 👍❤️🖤
Great Video !!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! 👍
Great sharing video my friend, happy weekand
Thank you! You too! 👍
God that's quiet, that is not busy by any means! When I used to go in the 2000 to 2008 era much more busy than that. You got more tourists than goths now and was the other way around years ago when there was much more of us goths. It has changed so much!
Wow really, that’s super interesting as we felt this was the busiest we have ever seen Whitby! thank you for your comment 👍❤️
Very very different, now it seems to be more people dressed in fancy dress than the true goths and more people seem to be wrapped up in the steampunk movement now than there used to be. There are actually several genres of goth dependant on music taste. If you can ever get yourself to Germany and go to the WGT festival which is way bigger than the WGW, you will get an idea if what the WGW used to ge like but on a smaller scale.
We’ve been going for twenty years and have seen many changes over the years. There were several real “life choice goths” at the event who we chatted too and declined to be on camera. The general opinion from them was that most goths avoid the October event and prefer the event earlier in the year. Its lovely to see how inclusive and accepting the event has become.
The steampunk genre was only just starting when I used to go and back then it was more darker than it seem to be now. I noticed a lot of people have jumped on that bandwagon of late and going by this video, they seem to have swamped Whitby. Does the pavillion still have the main event at night? I saw from the video that the stalls during the day have really shrunk. You used to always get the odd photographer mainly from the Whitby Gazette but I have delt with the many pervs just going to slimelight on the weekends travelling by train from the Midlands. It looks as though the October festival itself has become a tourist attraction now. I never did the April ones, just stuck to October. Are people still jumping the wall at the Abbey at night to watch the sunrise? I never suggest trying that in a full corset, latex and transmuted boots😂😂
@nicola_k-s yes the Pavillion does still have the main events at the night time. Your absolutely right though, they separated the event and setup two steampunk weekends to help keep the goth weekends just goth 16 years ago and whilst at first it kind of worked now its just given them four weekends to attend instead of two! To be fair we’ve not seen any photographers getting photos without permission, pretty sure the guy on here was just an absent minded troll. The event has a huge press following with the national press and tv now also attending the event. Given the price the Abbey charges for admission i certainly hope they jump the wall in their droves! Sadly this last weekend the Abbey and many surrounding campsites were closed as they were all waterlogged.
Forget Halloween and its costumes, Goth has won the contest hands down!! Amazing!! Actually knew a fella that was an accountant in real life and Goth on special occasions. Just most ordinary people out having a good time. Bruce and Otis
Hi Bruce you are so right we would love to find out more about their day to day life, it’s so interesting! fabulous event we always enjoy it! love to you and Otis 👍❤️
Great video, loved seeing all the outfits 😊 it’s very interesting
Thank you guys!😊 👍❤️
Great video guys. Wow that’s a busy Whitby!!! That’s too busy for us! We loved that we had those steps to ourselves when we did them. What a fun event though and some amazing costumes. Top dinosaur costume. The atmosphere does look amazing. Loved the bulldog! Thank god for the back up sandwich! Too bad no chips were in the offing. Great video guys, sorry we missed the premiere. Cheers 🍻
Hi guys it was the busiest we have ever experienced, pretty mental! would have starved if it wasn’t for Jill’s sarnies 🤣 hope you’ve had a lovely weekend 👍
สนุกและตื่นเต้น ชอบมาก 👍👍👍 Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you for stopping by 👍❤️
Hi Nick and Jill great video we absolutely love the goth weekend and you have done such a fantastic job. Love the interviews. Our favourite goth band are The Cure we have been to see them many times over the years there are usually some goth bands at download Festival to enjoy. We love the outfits brilliant. It certainly looked very busy. We loved the coat at 7:00. Good idea you had the back up sandwiches 🥪. Caron and Paul were good 👍. Dawn loves Jills gloves. Good work guys hope you have a great weekend Best wishes Dave and Dawn ❤
Thanks guys 👍❤️
Great! 👍👍👍
Love seeing all the cool costumes, looked like tons of fun👍🏼
It really is thanks LB ❤️
Wow! Love the costumes 😊. Such a fantastic event 👍❤
Thank you 🤗 it really is have a great week 👍
Hi both.
That was great!!
Loved that lady with the cup and saucer on her belt 🤷♂️😂
That was bonkers busy though 😳
Poor old Jill was all dressed to eat out, then relegated to a sandwich 😢😂
🤣 was a great day, shame we resorted to the back up sarnies! cheers Phil 👍❤️
Hi Nick and Jill
Happy Goth Week!!
Absolutely EPIC!!!!
So many PPL in the town that energize its economy, I reckon.
PPL in their own creative characters and they are pretty serious about dressing
I admire your passion and being an advocate about this event.
You are appreciated. haha everybody wants you, two in costumes hahahaha
I will see you for next time...Brilliant!! Well done editing. Interviewing is superb!
Happy November...
Thank you 👸 🛶 lovely comment as always! have a great weekend ❤️
i love that you return to this! was it awesome running into so many viewers? that line for the steps! 😲 boom boom acka lacka lacka boom, walk that dinosaur! 🦖 costumes were amazing again. what a day! i was going to apologize for missing the premier and it taking a few days to watch (i always look forward to these festivals with y'all), but looks like its gotten attention it deserves. have a great week jill & nick! 🛴❤
Yes! Thank you lovely scoot lady, we always look forward to your comments! we love these events! have a great week Anne 👍❤️

You too 👍❤️
Love this guys. You are awesome ❤
Oorr Thanks so much!! 👍❤️
Hi guys you are so good at do in these goth weekends at whitby its great to see people coming up to you and sayinh we watch your channel your becoming celebtities lol. Iv never seen that place so busy on any vlog keep up the great work and speak soonx
such an amazing day, gosh we got recognised a lot, even off camera. even doing our “serious” segments it happens now. very nice though, from such humble beginnings its nice to see things grow so quickly.
coming up we have Krampus Runs, more budget days out, another boarded up, a follow up to a boarded up, homeless in winter, immigration hotels, second homes housing crisis, culture shock moving to yorkshire and so so many more videos to put out…
..there is not enough time. if only we had an army behind us to put out this content daily, we are sat on a years worth of footage now..
Wow amazing 😮👍
Thanks 🤗
What an interesting 🤔 video. Nice share my dear
Thank you so much Aishu 🙂 have a lovely weekend
Outstanding! Once again I missed the weekend. I'll get there one day... Still, gives me tho opportunity to deny being a goth despite dressing in black all the time and loving the Sisters and Nephilim 😂 Great one! That bridge was bonkers! Rise and reverberate 🖤
Brilliant Jaune thank you 👍😂🖤
Going to be controversial but is it really "goth"? Seems more a general fancy dress festival. Very little seems to do with music and goth is, at it's roots, a music based subculture. After a fair amount of digging, it appears there is music with both The Mission, and The 69 Eyes playing but this is never really seen or mentioned. I'll stress there is nothing wrong with people meeting up, being inclusive and having a great time and really hope it continues. I cannot help though comparing it with the German Wave-Gotik-Treffen which still retains it's musical roots. However Leipzig where it is held, is a major city with 600K population. Slightly different to Whitby with a population of 13K. If I went to Whitby expecting a "goth festival" I feel as though I would feel cheated.
On point freaky.. the cosplayers have taken over this inclusive goth event in whitby. Well goths you can only blame yourselves for being so “inclusive”. Imagine a punk event being taken over by rock and rollers, would never happen,, shame on you goths for being so accepting!
well done & thumbs up 👍🎉🏆
Thank you 👍
One truly amazing colourful Goth film. So many costumes, so many JBP, so many steps 199. The bridge looked totally over crowded, so many people it made me thankful I’m not a people person. Would love to see a joint GENeration Xplorers & Alan METALMAN Goth venture. Yes this is most certainly a FIVE STAR FILM ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Well done Nick & Jill.
im not sure we would have recognised the wonderful alan metalman in that stunning jacket he wore! youtube broke down on sunday and many still believe to this day it was his jacket that broke it! that bridge was crazy, ive checked the weight limit for the bridge and with some crafty mathematics have worked out it could hold just under 2000 people at a time before collapsing. im quite good with judging crowd numbers, i think it was still safe but should be of concern to someone at Whitby’s Health and Safety Department. thank you so much for great support and comment, i’ll be joining you for a beer tonight! 🍻
@@GENerationXplorers sorry Nick & Jill no beer tonight from me 😡 Hopefully next week 👍 Cheers 🍺
@billygoatfilms7531 oh no Mike, sorry to hear that, hope all is well, we shall have a beer and do a toast to all at the triple C club
Wow it's heaving there! Shame the Abbey's waterlogged, weathers been shocking lately! Scuppered my bonfire night plans! Beautiful girl at 8:22 but she must have been cold! Great dancing dino! Well done on being prepped with emergency sarnies Jill! These events are great because everyone's so happy to be on camera! Haha cheers Frank, Dora and William! Great stuff guys!
bit of a sort, she definitely looked the part, mind you i get more complaints about her on the gravestone than anything else.. there is a definite disconnect going on in whitby with the goths, the cos players and the japanese tourists who come to the area in their droves. im very happy to say that we seem to straddle all three, we love them all equally, yet i will say i chatted at huge length to so many “real” goths that were lovely but 1000% did not want any part of this video. for them it is a lifestyle and cultural choice. id like to investigate it further without upsetting any of my core audiences, wont be easy.l
@@GENerationXplorers somehow I didn't even notice the grave, oops! 🤦♂️ ahh fair enough, you must have spoken to loads of people, I would've been worn out, you did well to keep the energy levels up!
Wow, that was busy. Some money spent in Whitby there. Best wishes to you both from over the Pennines.
cheers JBB 👍❤️
Goth to get there one day !! Sorry, bad dad joke 😁
😂👍 love it
Goth for it!
Great coverage of WGW guys, well done. One day I'll get there to cover it for one of my channels, I will try not to get a cold again.
Oorrr hope you are feeling better! you will get there one day ❤️
@@GENerationXplorers it's still hanging around unfortunately. I might see if I can get down for the Krampus Run.
That's brilliant guys 👍 some great costumes there
cheers glyn 👍❤️
thumbs up 👍
Thank you 👍
Oh wooow seems I’m way too late to the party but amazing to see the traction the video got !!! Also those fantastic Goth costumes! What better you can expect for Halloween! And all the interviews too 😊 people seem to be lovely there!
We love these goth festivals, always enjoy visiting and it’s a bonus if people enjoy watching! 👍❤️
Looks like a great weekend out.
It was fabulous, the busiest we have ever experienced it 👍❤️
Thats a cool video. Looks fun
cheers craig 👍
What a fantastic place to explore over the Halloween season. I love the store front displays, very creative. I also love all of the fantastic costumes so many people are wearing, it must cost them a fortune and I love how many enjoy talking and being on camera. Goth bands that I like would be The Cure and Evanescence off the top of my head. Such a great event for the local economy too!!
We completely agree thanks Nettie it is such a fabulous event! have a great weekend 👍❤️
Evanescence is not a Goth band lol
@@jimpickens4067 Genres are quite subjective and down to personal interpretation.
You might need to have a word with the band and wikipedia then mate.. “Generally classified as a gothic alternative metal and hard rock band, Evanescence have a diverse sound containing various musical styles including classical music, alternative music, heavy metal, industrial music, and electronic music, driven by Lee's contrasting musical pursuits and introspective songwriting.”
@@GENerationXplorers Gothic and Goth are two different genres in music. No actual Goth has ever classed the bands sound as Goth, just as bands such as Within temptation are also classed as being Gothic but not Goth. This does not mean that many Goths do not like their music, after all you can listen to any genre of music. Wikipedia should never be taken as fact as it often edited by people that have no knowledge on the subjects they discuss
Great video my friend
Greetings from Oslo
greetings friend in Oslo, thanks for stopping by 👍
When I watch your vids it makes me happy and sad as I haven't been to Whitby for so long know as I just can't seem to find the time, and u 2 are such a lovely couple look forward to your next vid ❤❤❤
Hi Anton so sorry to hear you don’t have the time to visit the lovely Whitby! Thank you for your lovely comment! It’s the steampunk in Whitby this coming weekend so we will be covering that for sure so watch this space have a good week 👍😂
Amazing video 📸👏
Thank you so much 😀
謝謝分享💕💕💕
👍🤗
Brilliant to see Hellraiser there, so many colourful characters 😀
There really is! Just fabulous 👍
"hi5 namaste" very cool and nice video buddy:-*
Thank you! Cheers! 👍
Wow superb
Thanks 🤗
What an amazing weekend. Definitely some crossover between the steampunks and the goths. Not enough moon tans though 😂Some really fabulous costumes this time around. Nice Gen Xers.
It really is a great event! What’s a moon tan? 🤣 hooe you guys are all ok? Have a great weekend! 👍
@@GENerationXplorers the Goth white skin we used to call a moon tan 😂We're not too bad. We were supposed to have been heading to Vietnam tomorrow but we had to cancel, so that was a bit sad. Maybe sometime next year now. 😂
Thats a superb name for them! Thanks! Sorry to hear about your Vietnam plans.
Hi Nick & Jill I'm so pleased you persuaded me that this was going to be a fun video to watch ... absolutely spot on and not at all scary ...not like the trailer that had me hiding my eyes haha haha This was brilliant with two dominant factors ... firstly ... wow sooooooo busy haha..... that bridge was something else lol, but you know what, the other thing is, everyone is having a fantastic time ❤ I think someone said "you just be what you want to be " and someone else " brings everyone together" I whole heartedly agree. The town, and you two, embraced the festival and the atmosphere must have been amazing. All the costumes awsome... difficult to chose a favourite but the dinasor did make me laugh. BTW did you see any Whitby Jet Ice Cream ? I saw an ad during the week ... would have been perfect for the festival .... check it out 😆😅🤣 xx
🤣 hi Christine thank you for another fabulous comment! wow, no we will look out for that ice cream, sounds fun! Glad this one didn’t scare you! Have a great week ahead 👍❤️
Very nice video Nick and Jill 😃 Happy Halloween 👻🎃
Thanks! You too! 🎃👍❤️
