This is part one to my Q and A. I had to break it up into parts since over an hour may be a bit much. How's the baby making going? What do I think of Jake Munro? How do you turn a person Goth? Am I Vegan? So your kid might be goth? Video to explain the scene to the parental units! th-cam.com/video/YLTprp6v8zI/w-d-xo.html Like the song? It's Come Feel by All Your Sisters.
over an hour may be a bit much ... for you to make YES , for us to see NO! Your videos could be 3-4 hours and i would love to spent my weekend to see them. ;)
What happened to your idea of putting together an online store with affordable clothing for Baby Bats, or for people who don’t live in places where they can find great pieces. I have a bunch of stuff I’m getting rid of, I’d happily send if you have PO Box. I would also gladly help if you need a partner, been running EBay stores since 1998.
@@shazzye5920 I am still going to do that. There was a MASSIVE debacle with where it was going to be hosted. Thanks o much for the help! You don't want money for it?
Angela Benedict Nah, I’m older, done well in life/career etc. it would be a nice way of giving back. When I was starting out I was a broke starving artist...I would save every dime for shows, or to buy shoes at stores like Trash & Vaudeville (which was still really expensive back then).
@@saulverastegui9147 yes in the majority of cases taking care of yourself will affect how you age drastically. However in some cases like mine, I unfortunately did everything wrong, I rarely drank water, ate unhealthy, smoked cigs, tanned, started drinking heavily at 14 an had a decade long addiction to heroin. All before I was even 30. I'm now 38 but still get mistaken for being in my early to mid 20s. Both my parents look decades younger than they are so I assume its genetic. Meanwhile I know some people younger than me that are pretty health conscious and careful yet look old for their age, so genes play a relatively big role. Still, there's no guarantee one will age the same as their parents so I encourage people to not be reckless/careless in their youth.
I am 13 and a budding baby bat. My mum used to be a goth and still has an big collection of vintage gothic dresses as well as my aunt. It is great to be able bond about music n stuff.
I think you’re justified in feeling slighted by jake, he’s a horrible person and I think she’s been mentally abused by him for a long time. Hope she’s okay.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Jake is a rot mouth prick clown. Kaya will be just fine. She's got an army of support behind her. I've been through similar, the first few months is when the shit starts coming out of the woodwork but once you pass that hurdle, she'll come back better than before.
I just went to a Goth/Industrial night this past Saturday and as we were walking in Switchblade Symphony's 'Witches' was playing like it was our WWE entrance music!😂
I felt the same way when I watched Jake's video. I immediately unsubscribed and felt very hurt about all the horrible things he said about a subculture that had been so good to me. I'm sorry if some goths have been a jerk to him in the past and made him feel that way, but that's no reason to insult a whole subculture and make fun of a whole music genre and life style. Goths are some of the most accepting and welcoming people I ever met.
Exactly, why disrespect the Goth subculture when you have no idea what it is. I think people are just insulting us because they do not understand the Goth subculture
My mom had her last baby at 40, my sister is younger than my son and if I'm honest... she's a better mom at 40. So don't get discouraged! You'll be a fangtastic momma bat.
That's great to hear! My mother did the same thing. My sister is 22 now and I was 18 when she was born. I ended up pretty much raising her so that was really good practice! Thanks so much for the kind words *fingers crossed!*
I stopped watching TT long ago because she just plainly got on my nerves. I never bothered to watch Jake's channel and honestly never even knew he had one until very recently when he popped up in my recommendations one day. I watched a couple of his videos and I hate to admit that he's a lot more interesting than his girlfriend but I still don't like how he puts down goth and the music yet claims to be that for basically the views. I also think it's hilarious how he says he can't stand Marilyn Manson yet he's basically a carbon copy of him with the makeup. 😂 They are both very money-hungry, dramatic, toxic-to-the-subculture individuals that I wish less people looked up to. 😑
Walking into a jam packed club with NIN blasting on the speakers would turn anyone Goth! Your stories are so vivid, it's like we can vicariously relive your coolest moments like The Goth Ghost of Angela's Past👻
I am glad you are not doing any tutorials on make up but skin care instead. It just sets you apart in a positive way. I love the wine pads by Neogen :) it is a great company with amazing products.
Back in “ye olde tymes” if you grew up in the NY-tri state area there was a radio station called WLIR they were the first radio station (other than K-Roc in LA) that broke bands like Siouxsie, the Cure, Depeche Mode, Killing Joke, the Cult, Adam Ant....I could go on and on and and on and made the music a lot more mainstream back in the day. They would literally send people to the UK to bring back records of the newest bands. Saved a lot of weird kids like me from going crazy. Eventually MTV blew up, and they were willing to play a lot of alternative music in the early days. I was literally the only punk/goth kid in my High School. I was able to take a few friends that were either into New Wave or Metal and start dragging them to punk clubs. 38 years later we’re all still really close friends. I’ve travelled the world with a few of them.
I remember WLIR!!! It was the late 80's when I was told about it by a junior high school friend, Chris. I remember he wore his older brothers Cure shirt to school. We were the only two kids at my school who wore goth tshirts and listened to gothic music.WLIR later WDRE, would play EVERYTHING. My favorite was the Saturday night dance party, live from the Malibu 🤗🤗🤗 The DJ played the best shit. I built my CD collection based on everything I heard on that amazing radio station. I miss it so much!!!
Rubaida Allen I left NY in the mid-80’s for Chicago...I was devastated when I heard the station went under because of a dumb lease agreement. There’s a documentary on Showtime (they even show the Malibu! 😉). I also loved WNYU 88.5 they played a lot of Punk and early industrial...other than going to shows/through friends it’s how we discovered new music.
I remember back around '93 / '94 there was a "pirate" radio station that played goth/industrial and on Sunday night I think it was all techno. I made several mixed tapes from that station.
Dre Munoz I would do the same thing, nobody else was playing music like that except for college stations or shows that would air after midnight. I discovered bands like Einstürzende Neubaten, Buthole Surfers, Alien Sex Fiend etc etc
I still watch Kaya from time to time because she has some cool diy videos and seems genuinely sweet. I feel like she improved after the drama last year where she got called out. That being said I cannot stand Jakes videos. He comes off as a incensere opportunist who uses #goth for the views. Aside from that I personally believe their relationship is toxic based on their gaming channel that I used to watch. He rubs me the wrong way... so glad you spilled the tea.
Oh god all toxic tears do is unboxing I stop watching her when she got called out that didn't go down well with her but Jake sold out so did she I think she be lot happier if she went back to pink as they both sold out long time ago
all TT does is unboxing videos. on top that, no one can ever forgive her for shitting on "fat" people on a gossip forum a few years ago. shes a pos and jake is worse
Oh my gorgeous you look beautiful! Seriously love the eyes and the outfit! I wish I could pull that off! I love your uploads good to see you back on!! I love your bluntness and truth, we need more people in the community like you. ❤️❤️🦉🦉🦔🦔
Great Q&A, Angela. It's cool you've mentioned Clan of Xymox. Xymox and Corpus Delicti - these two bands that inspired me to join goth subculture and learn more about its music.
@@angelabenedict Also, I'm a California native, and we have some of the best, longest running goth clubs in the country. If you ever visit and need recommendations I'd be happy to fill you in! The Batcave San Francisco is my all time favorite, as it captures the essence of '90s goth clubs, but also incorporates goth-themed drag shows and new goth bands. I think you'd enjoy it a lot.
@@mayan5967 The music in that playlist ist mostly known as (oldschool) EBM though, at least in Europe. The term "oldschool Industrial" is mostly associated with noisy experimental bands from the late 70s and early 80s, like Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Cabaret Voltaire, Coil, Einstürzende Neubauten, Esplendor Geometrico...
To be fair 🤷 most Americans when they travel elsewhere are loud and trashy. I also live in an area of America where tons of tourists come in. I've also traveled to multiple countries inside and outside the military. Most of them did not care for Americans outside of a military standpoint. If you're offended chances are the shoe fits 🤷
You mentioned Clan of Xymox and I immediately flashed back to 16 year old me! It had been a minute since I listened to them and it made me super nostalgic. Slightly off topic, but have you heard of a group called Amber Asylum? They're eerie and beautiful. Perfect for this time of year. Happy Birthday. 😊
Angela Benedict before I became a part of the goth scene I was 12 years old riding in the back of my mom's old car on my way to school pissed as hell. My mom was still picking out my outfits and I didn't like wearing what she was making me wear. This song came on and I realized by not standing up for myself and not being me I was living a Terrible Lie. Fast forward a year and I was definitely in the scene and I've been gothic ever since. This was in the late 90s to early 2000s
Yassss L7 ... shitlist!!!!! 😂 love all the music / bands you rattled off at beginning of this as well and love goth music too. It’s all about the feels!!!
Omg!!! Me too. I love baking and cooking. I went to culinary school for a year and now I had to transfer because I had to move. I am always surprised at the things you say that mirror my life/90's life
@@angelabenedict also the Japanese food thing. (Sorry I am watching your video now) I also love making cauliflower fried rice when I don't want to eat regular rice. But I cook asian like 80% of the time, and Recipes or dishes they don't serve in the US or are very hard to find, and I love creating asian inspired desserts, like cakes made with Sakura flowers, Matcha, Black Sesame, coconut ash, which us great for making all things black. I also, also love truffle. I always have black and white truffle oil in my cabinet at all times.
Your pet-peeve about inconsiderate people is something that I can definitely relate to as an NYC Goth/Rivethead, also should we start calling people who dress the part but reject to lifestyle and concept of Goth "subculture vultures"?
Sub-Vultures!! I think the whole inconsideration peeve is totally a NY trait because like you said, as a New Yorker it's everywhere. It takes no energy to be nice! Hold open a door, say thank you - wtf?
I'm glad your sticking to your guns over that weird little guy Jake Munro, he's a joke and not a good one but Kaya (toxic tears) is not much better with the begging on TH-cam for little or no work,infact when one of Jake's young girl followers said he was an icon just like David Bowie on a Twitter post I had to tell her to grow up as Bowie is a legend of a man and Munro could never be compared to him,anyway the toxic giant gave me a mouthful on Twitter then her and a couple of his teeny followers blocked me 🤭 so it seems that they can both spout garbage but can't take to be criticized themselves. It's sad really as when people like them use the goth label it can make some people think that goth is nothing more than being self important and closed minded and unable to see other people's views. So no matter what never apologize for saying what you think.
A person who can draw favorable comparison between Bowie and Jake is a person who knows the name but is clueless as to Bowie's decades spanning body of work. Much like Jake with his connection to goth. All name, no clue. Kaya also did her dead level best to destroy my friends business for disagreeing with her. She literally blasted her on every social media platform to send their hoards to attack her. Hearing your story doesn't surprise me as it's not the first nor last time I've seen this play out. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
I remember that tweet! I made a comment like "Imagine dying a legend and being compared to someone who makes shitty metal music". He also went on to comment on Adele's singing and saying he has better vocals...I honestly feel bad for his bandmates.
@@angelabenedict I don't worry about people like that Angela, I'm to old and wise plus I've been modified before both if them were born. My gripe is that young people are being brain washed by these two and the mental health thing would cut it if they got help which they point blank refuse to do ,so their young followers are being taught not to seek help, do t get a proper job and beg on the internet,attack anybody that doesn't agree with you and put the word goth where ever you can to get more patreon subscribers. I live probably 20 mins from these two and have had conversations with people that know them well and if any of my nieces indeed any of my family helped to keep these two wasters in money I would stop it in no time flat .
@@Archie15559 That's the real issue - it's that their lifestyle given the fact that they've chosen to subsist on the GOTH label specifically. It makes their actions and behaviors attach themselves to us whether we like it or not. It tars us all with the same broad brush and all of the fledgling goths out there who find them first are none the wiser. They're leading by example and the example they set is that goth is ego, entitlement, disrespect, image, hand-outs, laziness, apathy, treating others like garbage and Jakes new hobby - Subjecting your underage fans to graphic detail about your penis and what you do with it...In addition, when Kaya defends that behavior with such ferocity she sends the message to young girls that it's totally OK for men, particularly your boyfriend to disrespect you.
I'm with you on the good cry and baking being damn good stress relievers. I also knit some and used to make jewelry as well. I need to clear space out so I can get back into that because I got sooo many compliments on what I make.
It's like church! I always tell people that the whole process of prepping and chopping and measuring can become a spiritual thing once you start getting into it.
Omg! You like freestyle music and are a real goth! You’re my new favorite TH-camr! Thank you for just being yourself. It’s really inspiring! Much success to you! Omg you like cooking too! I’m commenting while I watch your video. Your makeup is killer in this vid!
Dude, do you have a playlist on Spotify? If not you should make one. I need some new Goth tunes in my life & you're the only reliable Goth channel I've found on TH-cam, still to this day.
I agree, I use to like Toxic Tears but behind the scenes, shes not a sweet as people think she is. She's TOXIC. Just as she went after you for the Jake comment...She'll go after people who unsubscribe to her on YT, FB, Instagram and even patreon. Lemme rephrase that...her boyfriend jake and her, also her friends will go after one individual person, talk and complain about it on twitch, on fb, and even on YT. Also Jake and her making fun of homeless people, recording them and laughing about the drug addiction in one of their vlogs. No, also she can't take any heat, even when the drama between Toxic and Black Friday about fridays age happened. long rant but yeah, she/they hides alot of things.
True the Dublin video those poor homeless people they put in video to make it out they were not been nice to her .how low can you be to put these people in a video she nasty human .I have no time for any of two of them
Omg! Girl I'm so excited to see you again. We've been stuck in TN but I want to go home to long island soon. I have been busy with my first baby but pretty soon I'm gonna put up some videos. Congratulations on your apartment, let me know if you need more sage for it. My sister works in a great store for crystals and such on the south shore! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BABY!!
The first time I ever came across with goth was with Nosferatu and their song Close. It hit me right in the feels. Since then, everything changed :) This band grew on me so much and have an really important impact in my life. I would die and cry my heart out if I ever get the chance to see them play live.
I'm sad to say that I wouldn't rule that out. No one deserves to be in that type of situation. The way she snapped to his defense singling people out when they had the very expected response to his video and he sat back and didn't say a single word, I can see it.
That's pretty sad. I'm not very familiar with Jake, but I got some bad vibes by watching a few of his videos, like he would get hyper aggressive whenever his opinion was challenged. He rubbed me wrong in every way.
That’s the red flag here. She is one of the best known goth TH-camrs, rightly or wrongly, but her boyfriend posts a video trashing a major part of her public identity. That’s a worry.
They did a boyfriend tag video together and he was pretty mean to her, I mean, obviously in a relationship you’d mess around but then they mentioned the fact that he has anger issues and she said she gathers all the important stuff in the house when he gets angry so he doesn’t break it..idk that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. That’s not really his fault but the combination of that and the way he was talking to her was weird
Nice N Easy Natural Blue Black!!!!!!! I used that color too! I loved when they made the foam application, but then it disappeared. Then I couldn't even find that brand/color at all either. Piss me off.
Hello wow love your hairstyle. Thanks for the video to get to know you better. You are so down to earth and very inspirational with your advice and answers. Take care and Blessed Be!
Nice video and I enjoyed hearing your answers :) I was wondering if you had the choice to move back to England, would you? Or are you contented in NY now? I'm thinking of moving to NY and then overseas at some point and looking for the more inexpensive areas to live. We will see how that goes. I'm also interested in Ireland, Germany, and England as possible places to live overseas when the time comes. I'd really like to be near a major Goth gorup as I have never had that opportunity as long as I've been Goth and it really gets lonely being the only Goth where I live. Take care and I look forward to seeing you again Angela :)
A lot of fun answers going on here. First off, that story about what happened at the pool area, I'm so sorry that happened,. I can only imagine how you must've felt at the time but at least the lady was kind enough to give you a hand. On the story you shared where you went to that alternative club, the whole time you were explaining I was like "YOU'RE SO LUCKY!" I would've loved to experience a club like that that catered to all kinds of Alternative scenes in the 90s from Goth to Grunge to the Alt. Rockers and the Club Kids. I always joke to myself that I was really born in the wrong decade because I like so much 90s music (and not just for Goth neither, I've rekindled a love for 90s Dance music like Crystal Waters, Debbie Deb, and CeCe Peniston to name a few). I seriously wish I could've experience this kind of stuff back when it was "in" as they say lol. So yeah, I love when you share stories like that, I can just vision it all perfectly. As for the Jake thing, all I can say is "PREACH IT". We've all been thinking it (some more vocal than others). Jake is just an insipid user with how he's latching onto a subculture that he himself admitted he never liked.,"Were all elitist twats/cunts" and "Our music is shit anyway". Mhm yes. Toxic Tears was foolish to expect someone like you to cave at something like that and I'll be honest, I'm glad you stuck to your convictions. And I agree with what you said about Snowy. At the end of the day, while Snowy has pandered quite a bit, she's not a malicious person at all and I too think she means well, it's just that when it comes to Goth, it's not helpful at all to pander when it's already hard enough trying to explain it and address certain misconceptions about it. Jake on the other hand well, you already know. It's just scummy and hypocritical what he's doing with it (And no I don't feel bad for saying this). All I can say is good on you dear. And finally on the fertility thing, I seriously hope whatever deity or force out there will give you and Stuart a helping hand in having your baby, I know you'll both be great parents. Sending positive thoughts and vibes to you both. :)
If I'll be honest, the goth subculture has helped me be more accepting of myself. Funny thing is, I got into goth from having goth friends because I thought they were so cool (one of them thought I was a cool kid, but I was never a cool kid haha I'm lame). I'm 27 btw. Been goth since I was 21, 22.
So you do not drink... wine. Steampunk is a good example of a scene based on literature and art. Or LARP scenes. Perfect answer for what you want your kid/s to be there. Often if you force your thing on them they will rebel, in our case it will likely be by turning into conservative christians or something. My parents pushed country onto me and here I am today. I like that so many people asked you about music as so many youtubers avoid questions like those. Well done Angela fans!
I can't drink anything. If I do I have to keep it below a mild buzz or else I get a terrible headache. Wine just seems more appropriate an alcoholic beverage after a crappy day. Yeah, I'd never dream of pushing the scene onto my kid. I don't want to stifle its growth into who they're meant to be. Wait until part 2, so many questions about music! I'm proud.
Im so sad :( i use to watch his videos and also disagree with what he has said. like he bashes the community cause maybe he has been bashed by the "elitests" ? I think thinks go much deeper than what we know or think
I'm sorry you're sad. It sucks when people we admire turn out to not be who they claim. I can categorically state that prior to his 'Do I Hate Goth?' video I've never seen him bashed by any of us. I'd never seen him discussed nor participating anywhere in the goth community or interacting with any of us at all. The first I'd seen was his video exclaiming his disdain towards us. He cast the first stone by posting that video. He drew a line in the sand with us being on one side and his feet firmly planted on the other. According to him he hates: The music, the fashion, everything we stand for and most importantly us as people. After that, he was on the radar. Any negativity received by anyone in the scene was a direct result of that video. He was trying to make it as a 'goth youtuber' but he just wasn't well received - Not because his usual look didn't look anything like a goth (Much like myself on some days) but because his content just didn't perform well among his target audience. That's where the outburst came from. He interpreted the lack of interest from the goth community in his vlogs as not being accepted.
I wonder if huge gothic festivals abroad are on your radar? Festivals like the Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig, Germany: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave-Gotik-Treffen Or Mera Luna, Hildesheim, Germany: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%27era_Luna_Festival Is violence against goths in the US still real? Even actress Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) once talked of being bullied as a goth. How big is the New York goth scene? Are there any numbers?
Hiya Angela, happy belated birthday! No worries, had my baby 13 days after my 40th (holy crap I’m old, my “baby” will be 20 later this year😳), I have a friend who had her 1st @ nearly 41, 2nd @ nearly 43. We’re keeping ourselves healthier & it can be done. Sending you baby vibes! Here’s to hoping all your fondest wishes come true in the coming year! Have a lovely week! Jet 🖤🎸⚡️🎶🦇🦋🔮🎃👻🕷😈
I think you said in a video a while ago that you wanted to get a degree in nursing so that you'd be allowed to diagnose skin conditions. Do you still plan or are you pursuing that?
I have a foot squarely in the metal world and the other firmly in goth. I love that you acknowledge the crossover between the two. I got into goth while in the ARMY, as a result Im also into physical fitness and am naturally built like a linebacker. My question is what stores/sites would be best to frequent for the days where Im feeling more goth than metal? Im not trying to sound poseury, I just belong to two aesthetics and am kinda tired of only one of them catering to larger men.
Happy birthday for tomorrow! Always fantastic to hear what you have to say. I’m considering going to New York in future. What are some goth clubs? Is there a certain time of year/month you would recommend going there?
Thank you! It was actually on the 5th. Clubs, we have The Red Party, Arkham, Synthicide, Svmmon, Procession, Detour, Sanctum, No Return Post Punk Society, Defcon. Also check for shows happening around the time you wanna come.
Oh as you mentioned Corpus Delicti, I found out the other day that they have just released a new CD with old recordings :) It's been ages since I watched one of your videos, might have to do some catch up. It's good seeing you again o/ take care!
Personally I love Kaya and her videos. But personally I cant understand how Jake and her are together. Shes so lovely and any time Ive watched his videos...they've left a sour taste.
I used to watch them and I believe they have a super toxic relationship. Just my opinion based on how she acts around him. Kaya is sweet but obviously has extremely low self esteem and I don’t think Jake is a great influence.
DarkXrusałka Z she comes off as “sweet” because she needs to manipulate her followers into giving you money. A manipulative person is going to appear sweet so that they can trap you. It’s all fake. She’s known to be quite bitchy.
I love the pigtails look, and part of that look that I really like is when there are those two thin strands that run from above the temples, down the sides of the face - is there a proper term for those "strands"?
Omg!!! Jehovahs witnesses!!! Sorry I am commenting as I am watching. I grew up one (left at 17) and it was HELL!! My heart goes out to that woman.... my advice be yourself and don’t worry about anyone who threatens to shun you for being who you are!! Much love!
I would love to visit New York next year. Are there any cities that stand out more than others as far as the subculture? I ask since California is VERY hit or miss, albeit improving every year.
Thank you for the update on TTC. Will you be making a second channel on your journey or you aren’t sure yet? Just wanna support you through the journey. Love your videos!
Angela you're such a ball of light! I love putting your voice on in the background while I do homework or cook, you somehow manage to put me in a better mood.
The last time I went to a goth night the song that was playing as I was walking in was Blue Monday by New Order and I’ll forever remember that bc it put my head in a could lmao I love that song
Hey Angela! I know this may seem very private but would you be down to adopt? Speaking from an adoptee stand point, I'm very grateful and happy I was adopted, and if you wanted more maybe adopting could be an option ❤ I love youuu lol
I'm absolutely open to adoption. 🖤🖤🖤 It's good to know that you're a proud, happy and flourishing adoptee. I would love to carry and give birth to a biological child but if that's not in the cards for us I know that I could definiteley love an adopted child just as much.

Angela Benedict Nah, I’m older, done well in life/career etc. it would be a nice way of giving back. When I was starting out I was a broke starving artist...I would save every dime for shows, or to buy shoes at stores like Trash & Vaudeville (which was still really expensive back then).
The fact that you are 40 and no one would be able to guess that is the best advertisement for diligent skincare.
Genetics play a huge role.
41-42?!?!!
@@darbirhian taking care of yourself plays an even bigger role
@@saulverastegui9147 yes in the majority of cases taking care of yourself will affect how you age drastically. However in some cases like mine, I unfortunately did everything wrong, I rarely drank water, ate unhealthy, smoked cigs, tanned, started drinking heavily at 14 an had a decade long addiction to heroin. All before I was even 30. I'm now 38 but still get mistaken for being in my early to mid 20s. Both my parents look decades younger than they are so I assume its genetic. Meanwhile I know some people younger than me that are pretty health conscious and careful yet look old for their age, so genes play a relatively big role. Still, there's no guarantee one will age the same as their parents so I encourage people to not be reckless/careless in their youth.
She is not 40
I am 13 and a budding baby bat. My mum used to be a goth and still has an big collection of vintage gothic dresses as well as my aunt. It is great to be able bond about music n stuff.

This thread is so adorable ♥ I actually got into goth at 18, way back in yonder 2006 lol
I think you’re justified in feeling slighted by jake, he’s a horrible person and I think she’s been mentally abused by him for a long time. Hope she’s okay.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Jake is a rot mouth prick clown. Kaya will be just fine. She's got an army of support behind her. I've been through similar, the first few months is when the shit starts coming out of the woodwork but once you pass that hurdle, she'll come back better than before.
Damn you called him out years before it became public knowledge, good on you!
I know an asshole when I see one.
"My focus is on sin care." Girl, same XD
Someone's gotta do it!
You look like a young Shannon Daughty (sp?) , Which IMO is beautiful.
I just went to a Goth/Industrial night this past Saturday and as we were walking in Switchblade Symphony's 'Witches' was playing like it was our WWE entrance music!😂
You have your own theme song, I love it!!!
You handled the whole jake situation so well!! You are seriously my favorite youtuber 🖤 you are very much appreciated!!
She one of the best TH-cam and so down to earth
Happy birthday Angela!!!! I’m sending you positive vibes for your hope of motherhood!!!!💕💕🖤
I felt the same way when I watched Jake's video. I immediately unsubscribed and felt very hurt about all the horrible things he said about a subculture that had been so good to me. I'm sorry if some goths have been a jerk to him in the past and made him feel that way, but that's no reason to insult a whole subculture and make fun of a whole music genre and life style. Goths are some of the most accepting and welcoming people I ever met.
Exactly, why disrespect the Goth subculture when you have no idea what it is.
I think people are just insulting us because they do not understand the Goth subculture
My mom had her last baby at 40, my sister is younger than my son and if I'm honest... she's a better mom at 40. So don't get discouraged! You'll be a fangtastic momma bat.
That's great to hear! My mother did the same thing. My sister is 22 now and I was 18 when she was born. I ended up pretty much raising her so that was really good practice! Thanks so much for the kind words *fingers crossed!*
I stopped watching TT long ago because she just plainly got on my nerves. I never bothered to watch Jake's channel and honestly never even knew he had one until very recently when he popped up in my recommendations one day. I watched a couple of his videos and I hate to admit that he's a lot more interesting than his girlfriend but I still don't like how he puts down goth and the music yet claims to be that for basically the views. I also think it's hilarious how he says he can't stand Marilyn Manson yet he's basically a carbon copy of him with the makeup. 😂 They are both very money-hungry, dramatic, toxic-to-the-subculture individuals that I wish less people looked up to. 😑
They both into it for money and freebies
Don't like her too. Boring and sold out. Don't understand why she's popular.
@@Emily789 I don't get it but it's lot of kids as there's lot better out there
"Toxic Tears" yeah no shit
I fucking love that you’re straight up being honest and yourself. That’s the reason why I love watching your videos.
Thank you!
Walking into a jam packed club with NIN blasting on the speakers would turn anyone Goth! Your stories are so vivid, it's like we can vicariously relive your coolest moments like The Goth Ghost of Angela's Past👻
You weren’t in the wrong about the jake and toxic tears thing.., they sound wack and unstable.
I am glad you are not doing any tutorials on make up but skin care instead. It just sets you apart in a positive way. I love the wine pads by Neogen :) it is a great company with amazing products.
Back in “ye olde tymes” if you grew up in the NY-tri state area there was a radio station called WLIR they were the first radio station (other than K-Roc in LA) that broke bands like Siouxsie, the Cure, Depeche Mode, Killing Joke, the Cult, Adam Ant....I could go on and on and and on and made the music a lot more mainstream back in the day. They would literally send people to the UK to bring back records of the newest bands. Saved a lot of weird kids like me from going crazy. Eventually MTV blew up, and they were willing to play a lot of alternative music in the early days.
I was literally the only punk/goth kid in my High School. I was able to take a few friends that were either into New Wave or Metal and start dragging them to punk clubs. 38 years later we’re all still really close friends. I’ve travelled the world with a few of them.
KROQ 104.7fm-that was my station in LA
I remember WLIR!!! It was the late 80's when I was told about it by a junior high school friend, Chris. I remember he wore his older brothers Cure shirt to school. We were the only two kids at my school who wore goth tshirts and listened to gothic music.WLIR later WDRE, would play EVERYTHING. My favorite was the Saturday night dance party, live from the Malibu 🤗🤗🤗 The DJ played the best shit. I built my CD collection based on everything I heard on that amazing radio station. I miss it so much!!!
Rubaida Allen I left NY in the mid-80’s for Chicago...I was devastated when I heard the station went under because of a dumb lease agreement. There’s a documentary on Showtime (they even show the Malibu! 😉). I also loved WNYU 88.5 they played a lot of Punk and early industrial...other than going to shows/through friends it’s how we discovered new music.
I remember back around '93 / '94 there was a "pirate" radio station that played goth/industrial and on Sunday night I think it was all techno. I made several mixed tapes from that station.
Dre Munoz I would do the same thing, nobody else was playing music like that except for college stations or shows that would air after midnight. I discovered bands like Einstürzende Neubaten, Buthole Surfers, Alien Sex Fiend etc etc
Dude why are you so pretty😂😂
You're so sweet, thank you!
Love your unfiltered opinions Angela...also that candy-corn/lit jack-o-lantern makeup is the bomb!
Thank you!
I still watch Kaya from time to time because she has some cool diy videos and seems genuinely sweet. I feel like she improved after the drama last year where she got called out. That being said I cannot stand Jakes videos. He comes off as a incensere opportunist who uses #goth for the views. Aside from that I personally believe their relationship is toxic based on their gaming channel that I used to watch. He rubs me the wrong way... so glad you spilled the tea.
Oh god all toxic tears do is unboxing I stop watching her when she got called out that didn't go down well with her but Jake sold out so did she I think she be lot happier if she went back to pink as they both sold out long time ago
all TT does is unboxing videos. on top that, no one can ever forgive her for shitting on "fat" people on a gossip forum a few years ago. shes a pos and jake is worse
Oh my gorgeous you look beautiful! Seriously love the eyes and the outfit! I wish I could pull that off! I love your uploads good to see you back on!! I love your bluntness and truth, we need more people in the community like you. ❤️❤️🦉🦉🦔🦔
Haven't heard from you in a while, Ang. Glad you're okay.
Hey! I'm baaaack! Thanks for love 🖤🖤🖤
Angela Benedict Today is my birthday and this is a nice surprise!
FROM : MANNIX Thank you so much! Angela's people are always the nicest on TH-cam.
Oh yes the girl is back !!!
Great Q&A, Angela.
It's cool you've mentioned Clan of Xymox. Xymox and Corpus Delicti - these two bands that inspired me to join goth subculture and learn more about its music.
Ian Nottingham I adore Clan of Xymox! So glad my husband and I discovered them!
I despise Jake Munro (or Stumpy as some people are calling him) after hearing about what he did to Kaya
I've never liked him.
Just a week ago Jake was posting "goth reacts" 🙄 it's a money thing to them
It's not like his attempt at metal or Kaya's endless unboxing videos are doing a great job at keeping up on the rent.
@@ViviCaligo That's what the constant begging for money through their Patreon is for. 😒
Yeah I went off him very, very quickly.
They both sold out long time ago it's all about the money
How does he know how a goth would react 🤭 his persona changes depending on what's paying 🙄
First time that I'm so early for a video of yours!!! Looking gorgeous! Love the makeup!
Welcome! Thank you so much
i swear you get even prettier every video, girl you are breathtaking, love you.
This video and comments section gives me a bit of hope.
Me too. 🖤
@@angelabenedict Also, I'm a California native, and we have some of the best, longest running goth clubs in the country. If you ever visit and need recommendations I'd be happy to fill you in! The Batcave San Francisco is my all time favorite, as it captures the essence of '90s goth clubs, but also incorporates goth-themed drag shows and new goth bands. I think you'd enjoy it a lot.
could you make an old school industrial playlist? would love to hear the difference from the current industrial music
Check my playlists, I have one :)
@@angelabenedict thanks!
@@mayan5967 The music in that playlist ist mostly known as (oldschool) EBM though, at least in Europe. The term "oldschool Industrial" is mostly associated with noisy experimental bands from the late 70s and early 80s, like Throbbing Gristle, SPK, Cabaret Voltaire, Coil, Einstürzende Neubauten, Esplendor Geometrico...
THE MAJOR reason I quit watching Munro's vids was a video he shared from Spain where he continued to GO OFF about LOUD AMERICANS etc...
To be fair 🤷 most Americans when they travel elsewhere are loud and trashy. I also live in an area of America where tons of tourists come in. I've also traveled to multiple countries inside and outside the military. Most of them did not care for Americans outside of a military standpoint. If you're offended chances are the shoe fits 🤷
@@brookemckenzie3804 this!!
never liked Jake Monroe. i think he's a jack wagon for many reasons. He hasnt changed much from that time he attacked goth's and goth culture.
You mentioned Clan of Xymox and I immediately flashed back to 16 year old me! It had been a minute since I listened to them and it made me super nostalgic. Slightly off topic, but have you heard of a group called Amber Asylum? They're eerie and beautiful. Perfect for this time of year. Happy Birthday. 😊
Happy Belated Birthday. Can’t wait to see part 2 of the video. I always enjoy your story times and advice.
You look stunning! Your makeup is gorgeous! Terrible Lie has a part in my life as well.
Thank you so much! There's just something about that song.
Angela Benedict before I became a part of the goth scene I was 12 years old riding in the back of my mom's old car on my way to school pissed as hell. My mom was still picking out my outfits and I didn't like wearing what she was making me wear. This song came on and I realized by not standing up for myself and not being me I was living a Terrible Lie. Fast forward a year and I was definitely in the scene and I've been gothic ever since. This was in the late 90s to early 2000s
Yassss L7 ... shitlist!!!!! 😂 love all the music / bands you rattled off at beginning of this as well and love goth music too. It’s all about the feels!!!
Yes! I love the ones that get you in the feels.
shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit 😂
Watched Gypsy 83 and I want to personally thank you for helping me be me and express myself and teaching me more and more
I'm so happy to help! 🖤🖤🖤 Did you like the movie?
Omg!!! Me too. I love baking and cooking. I went to culinary school for a year and now I had to transfer because I had to move.
I am always surprised at the things you say that mirror my life/90's life
Kindred spirits! There's something so comforting about the process of cooking/baking.
@@angelabenedict also the Japanese food thing. (Sorry I am watching your video now) I also love making cauliflower fried rice when I don't want to eat regular rice. But I cook asian like 80% of the time, and Recipes or dishes they don't serve in the US or are very hard to find, and I love creating asian inspired desserts, like cakes made with Sakura flowers, Matcha, Black Sesame, coconut ash, which us great for making all things black.
I also, also love truffle.
I always have black and white truffle oil in my cabinet at all times.
Your pet-peeve about inconsiderate people is something that I can definitely relate to as an NYC Goth/Rivethead, also should we start calling people who dress the part but reject to lifestyle and concept of Goth "subculture vultures"?
Sub-Vultures!! I think the whole inconsideration peeve is totally a NY trait because like you said, as a New Yorker it's everywhere. It takes no energy to be nice! Hold open a door, say thank you - wtf?
I’ve been waiting for new video !!
Such a great way to start a day.
Great video as always
Thank you so much, I'm happy you like it!
Angela Benedict I’m dying to see a Korean skin care video!
Am I the only person that would love to see a dressing like a 90s goth for a week video? Love you Angela 🖤
I do that anyway! I can just take short vids for 7 days and post em!
I'm glad your sticking to your guns over that weird little guy Jake Munro, he's a joke and not a good one but Kaya (toxic tears) is not much better with the begging on TH-cam for little or no work,infact when one of Jake's young girl followers said he was an icon just like David Bowie on a Twitter post I had to tell her to grow up as Bowie is a legend of a man and Munro could never be compared to him,anyway the toxic giant gave me a mouthful on Twitter then her and a couple of his teeny followers blocked me 🤭 so it seems that they can both spout garbage but can't take to be criticized themselves.
It's sad really as when people like them use the goth label it can make some people think that goth is nothing more than being self important and closed minded and unable to see other people's views.
So no matter what never apologize for saying what you think.
A person who can draw favorable comparison between Bowie and Jake is a person who knows the name but is clueless as to Bowie's decades spanning body of work. Much like Jake with his connection to goth. All name, no clue. Kaya also did her dead level best to destroy my friends business for disagreeing with her. She literally blasted her on every social media platform to send their hoards to attack her. Hearing your story doesn't surprise me as it's not the first nor last time I've seen this play out. I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
I remember that tweet! I made a comment like "Imagine dying a legend and being compared to someone who makes shitty metal music". He also went on to comment on Adele's singing and saying he has better vocals...I honestly feel bad for his bandmates.
@@angelabenedict I don't worry about people like that Angela, I'm to old and wise plus I've been modified before both if them were born.
My gripe is that young people are being brain washed by these two and the mental health thing would cut it if they got help which they point blank refuse to do ,so their young followers are being taught not to seek help, do t get a proper job and beg on the internet,attack anybody that doesn't agree with you and put the word goth where ever you can to get more patreon subscribers.
I live probably 20 mins from these two and have had conversations with people that know them well and if any of my nieces indeed any of my family helped to keep these two wasters in money I would stop it in no time flat .
@@Archie15559 That's the real issue - it's that their lifestyle given the fact that they've chosen to subsist on the GOTH label specifically. It makes their actions and behaviors attach themselves to us whether we like it or not. It tars us all with the same broad brush and all of the fledgling goths out there who find them first are none the wiser. They're leading by example and the example they set is that goth is ego, entitlement, disrespect, image, hand-outs, laziness, apathy, treating others like garbage and Jakes new hobby - Subjecting your underage fans to graphic detail about your penis and what you do with it...In addition, when Kaya defends that behavior with such ferocity she sends the message to young girls that it's totally OK for men, particularly your boyfriend to disrespect you.
@@lissah8452 I'm not loving your comment, I'm loving your tinfoil hat. does it come with free Wi-Fi?
Anf of course, Happy Birthday to you from Germany! Best wishes and may your dreams come true ♡
Thank you so much from New York 🖤🖤🖤
I love your videos 🖤 you have the most genuine energy.
Thank you so much 🖤
I'm with you on the good cry and baking being damn good stress relievers. I also knit some and used to make jewelry as well. I need to clear space out so I can get back into that because I got sooo many compliments on what I make.
It's like church! I always tell people that the whole process of prepping and chopping and measuring can become a spiritual thing once you start getting into it.
All Your Sisters playing in the background 😍
I just grinned like a crazy person when you read my questions =D
Love your videos ♡ lots of love to you & your hubby :)
Aw, I'm happy I've made you smile! Love to you as well 🖤
Glad I found your channel. Lovely makeup and the music is just sooo lovely.
Omg! You like freestyle music and are a real goth! You’re my new favorite TH-camr! Thank you for just being yourself. It’s really inspiring! Much success to you! Omg you like cooking too! I’m commenting while I watch your video. Your makeup is killer in this vid!
Dude, do you have a playlist on Spotify? If not you should make one. I need some new Goth tunes in my life & you're the only reliable Goth channel I've found on TH-cam, still to this day.
I agree, I use to like Toxic Tears but behind the scenes, shes not a sweet as people think she is. She's TOXIC. Just as she went after you for the Jake comment...She'll go after people who unsubscribe to her on YT, FB, Instagram and even patreon.
Lemme rephrase that...her boyfriend jake and her, also her friends will go after one individual person, talk and complain about it on twitch, on fb, and even on YT. Also Jake and her making fun of homeless people, recording them and laughing about the drug addiction in one of their vlogs. No, also she can't take any heat, even when the drama between Toxic and Black Friday about fridays age happened.
long rant but yeah, she/they hides alot of things.
True the Dublin video those poor homeless people they put in video to make it out they were not been nice to her .how low can you be to put these people in a video she nasty human .I have no time for any of two of them
@@witchy-jovi Does that video still exist or has it been taken down?
@@darkrosiez14 it dose it was there other day
It's called toxic tears autumn day trip it's on there
Sorry i know this video is pretty old but what is the drama between toxic tears and black friday ?
Omg! Girl I'm so excited to see you again. We've been stuck in TN but I want to go home to long island soon. I have been busy with my first baby but pretty soon I'm gonna put up some videos.
Congratulations on your apartment, let me know if you need more sage for it. My sister works in a great store for crystals and such on the south shore!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR BABY!!
The first time I ever came across with goth was with Nosferatu and their song Close. It hit me right in the feels. Since then, everything changed :)
This band grew on me so much and have an really important impact in my life. I would die and cry my heart out if I ever get the chance to see them play live.
I went to The Shoppe too. It was amazing. Used to walk through all the factories to get there from the LIRR station. It was gorgeous.
I used to watch toxic tears for years and watching her and jake interact, I always got the impression that Jake was very controlling towards her
I'm sad to say that I wouldn't rule that out. No one deserves to be in that type of situation. The way she snapped to his defense singling people out when they had the very expected response to his video and he sat back and didn't say a single word, I can see it.
That's pretty sad. I'm not very familiar with Jake, but I got some bad vibes by watching a few of his videos, like he would get hyper aggressive whenever his opinion was challenged. He rubbed me wrong in every way.
I'm sorry to read this 😢 unfortuenatly thats quite common 😞
That’s the red flag here. She is one of the best known goth TH-camrs, rightly or wrongly, but her boyfriend posts a video trashing a major part of her public identity. That’s a worry.
They did a boyfriend tag video together and he was pretty mean to her, I mean, obviously in a relationship you’d mess around but then they mentioned the fact that he has anger issues and she said she gathers all the important stuff in the house when he gets angry so he doesn’t break it..idk that kind of rubbed me the wrong way. That’s not really his fault but the combination of that and the way he was talking to her was weird
Happy 40th birthday, Angela! 🎉🧁
Nice N Easy Natural Blue Black!!!!!!!
I used that color too! I loved when they made the foam application, but then it disappeared.
Then I couldn't even find that brand/color at all either.
Piss me off.
cool vid , your hair really suits you so much like that!
Hello wow love your hairstyle. Thanks for the video to get to know you better. You are so down to earth and very inspirational with your advice and answers. Take care and Blessed Be!
crying is not a fault. tears wash the stress out if the body 😊
The music recommendations are aweeeesomeeee
Wow. I’m so glad TH-cam recommended me this video. It’s aged perfectly.
Nice video and I enjoyed hearing your answers :) I was wondering if you had the choice to move back to England, would you? Or are you contented in NY now? I'm thinking of moving to NY and then overseas at some point and looking for the more inexpensive areas to live. We will see how that goes. I'm also interested in Ireland, Germany, and England as possible places to live overseas when the time comes. I'd really like to be near a major Goth gorup as I have never had that opportunity as long as I've been Goth and it really gets lonely being the only Goth where I live. Take care and I look forward to seeing you again Angela :)
Can you do a get ready with me instead of a makeup tutorial?
A lot of fun answers going on here. First off, that story about what happened at the pool area, I'm so sorry that happened,. I can only imagine how you must've felt at the time but at least the lady was kind enough to give you a hand. On the story you shared where you went to that alternative club, the whole time you were explaining I was like "YOU'RE SO LUCKY!" I would've loved to experience a club like that that catered to all kinds of Alternative scenes in the 90s from Goth to Grunge to the Alt. Rockers and the Club Kids. I always joke to myself that I was really born in the wrong decade because I like so much 90s music (and not just for Goth neither, I've rekindled a love for 90s Dance music like Crystal Waters, Debbie Deb, and CeCe Peniston to name a few). I seriously wish I could've experience this kind of stuff back when it was "in" as they say lol. So yeah, I love when you share stories like that, I can just vision it all perfectly.
As for the Jake thing, all I can say is "PREACH IT". We've all been thinking it (some more vocal than others). Jake is just an insipid user with how he's latching onto a subculture that he himself admitted he never liked.,"Were all elitist twats/cunts" and "Our music is shit anyway". Mhm yes. Toxic Tears was foolish to expect someone like you to cave at something like that and I'll be honest, I'm glad you stuck to your convictions. And I agree with what you said about Snowy. At the end of the day, while Snowy has pandered quite a bit, she's not a malicious person at all and I too think she means well, it's just that when it comes to Goth, it's not helpful at all to pander when it's already hard enough trying to explain it and address certain misconceptions about it. Jake on the other hand well, you already know. It's just scummy and hypocritical what he's doing with it (And no I don't feel bad for saying this). All I can say is good on you dear.
And finally on the fertility thing, I seriously hope whatever deity or force out there will give you and Stuart a helping hand in having your baby, I know you'll both be great parents. Sending positive thoughts and vibes to you both. :)
If I'll be honest, the goth subculture has helped me be more accepting of myself. Funny thing is, I got into goth from having goth friends because I thought they were so cool (one of them thought I was a cool kid, but I was never a cool kid haha I'm lame). I'm 27 btw. Been goth since I was 21, 22.
I love freestyle too!!! So not goth but I don't care, I love it!!! Loving the hair. Happy belated bday!!!
Thank you for the kind words. Freestyle for the win!
So you do not drink... wine.
Steampunk is a good example of a scene based on literature and art. Or LARP scenes.
Perfect answer for what you want your kid/s to be there. Often if you force your thing on them they will rebel, in our case it will likely be by turning into conservative christians or something. My parents pushed country onto me and here I am today.
I like that so many people asked you about music as so many youtubers avoid questions like those. Well done Angela fans!
I can't drink anything. If I do I have to keep it below a mild buzz or else I get a terrible headache. Wine just seems more appropriate an alcoholic beverage after a crappy day.
Yeah, I'd never dream of pushing the scene onto my kid. I don't want to stifle its growth into who they're meant to be.
Wait until part 2, so many questions about music! I'm proud.
@@angelabenedict Try ginger beer. There are many new alcoholic ones on the market in boutique stores. It's DELICIOUS and kind of good for you :)
@@angelabenedict you may have an amine intolerance
Im so sad :( i use to watch his videos and also disagree with what he has said. like he bashes the community cause maybe he has been bashed by the "elitests" ? I think thinks go much deeper than what we know or think
I'm sorry you're sad. It sucks when people we admire turn out to not be who they claim. I can categorically state that prior to his 'Do I Hate Goth?' video I've never seen him bashed by any of us. I'd never seen him discussed nor participating anywhere in the goth community or interacting with any of us at all. The first I'd seen was his video exclaiming his disdain towards us. He cast the first stone by posting that video. He drew a line in the sand with us being on one side and his feet firmly planted on the other.
According to him he hates: The music, the fashion, everything we stand for and most importantly us as people. After that, he was on the radar. Any negativity received by anyone in the scene was a direct result of that video. He was trying to make it as a 'goth youtuber' but he just wasn't well received - Not because his usual look didn't look anything like a goth (Much like myself on some days) but because his content just didn't perform well among his target audience. That's where the outburst came from. He interpreted the lack of interest from the goth community in his vlogs as not being accepted.
Your better off not watching him as he is so fake he is not goth is rip off of joker and it's all about the money
i forgot to say happy birthday and i feel so bad! :( HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELA! much much love to you
Aw, no worries! Thanks for the well wishes! 🖤🖤🖤
I wonder if huge gothic festivals abroad are on your radar?
Festivals like the Wave-Gotik-Treffen in Leipzig, Germany: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave-Gotik-Treffen
Or Mera Luna, Hildesheim, Germany: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%27era_Luna_Festival
Is violence against goths in the US still real? Even actress Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) once talked of being bullied as a goth.
How big is the New York goth scene? Are there any numbers?
Hiya Angela, happy belated birthday! No worries, had my baby 13 days after my 40th (holy crap I’m old, my “baby” will be 20 later this year😳), I have a friend who had her 1st @ nearly 41, 2nd @ nearly 43. We’re keeping ourselves healthier & it can be done. Sending you baby vibes! Here’s to hoping all your fondest wishes come true in the coming year! Have a lovely week! Jet 🖤🎸⚡️🎶🦇🦋🔮🎃👻🕷😈
Hope you enjoyed your birthday x Nice to hear Blutengel get a mention.My friend loves them,I have a few of their songs on my playlist too.
I think you said in a video a while ago that you wanted to get a degree in nursing so that you'd be allowed to diagnose skin conditions. Do you still plan or are you pursuing that?
I have a foot squarely in the metal world and the other firmly in goth. I love that you acknowledge the crossover between the two. I got into goth while in the ARMY, as a result Im also into physical fitness and am naturally built like a linebacker. My question is what stores/sites would be best to frequent for the days where Im feeling more goth than metal? Im not trying to sound poseury, I just belong to two aesthetics and am kinda tired of only one of them catering to larger men.
Happy birthday for tomorrow! Always fantastic to hear what you have to say.
I’m considering going to New York in future. What are some goth clubs? Is there a certain time of year/month you would recommend going there?
Thank you! It was actually on the 5th. Clubs, we have The Red Party, Arkham, Synthicide, Svmmon, Procession, Detour, Sanctum, No Return Post Punk Society, Defcon. Also check for shows happening around the time you wanna come.
Angela Benedict Thanks heaps!
Oh as you mentioned Corpus Delicti, I found out the other day that they have just released a new CD with old recordings :) It's been ages since I watched one of your videos, might have to do some catch up. It's good seeing you again o/ take care!
They're such a great band. Thanks for the new info!
Personally I love Kaya and her videos. But personally I cant understand how Jake and her are together. Shes so lovely and any time Ive watched his videos...they've left a sour taste.
He's an opportunist. Milking the 'goth' label to make $$$
I used to watch them and I believe they have a super toxic relationship. Just my opinion based on how she acts around him. Kaya is sweet but obviously has extremely low self esteem and I don’t think Jake is a great influence.
@@fankatolkiena2 Kaya is far from nice she is very rude and only comes across as nice in videos in person she not .Jake has done her no good
It's all about the money
DarkXrusałka Z she comes off as “sweet” because she needs to manipulate her followers into giving you money. A manipulative person is going to appear sweet so that they can trap you. It’s all fake. She’s known to be quite bitchy.
I love the pigtails look, and part of that look that I really like is when there are those two thin strands that run from above the temples, down the sides of the face - is there a proper term for those "strands"?
Omg!!! Jehovahs witnesses!!! Sorry I am commenting as I am watching. I grew up one (left at 17) and it was HELL!! My heart goes out to that woman.... my advice be yourself and don’t worry about anyone who threatens to shun you for being who you are!! Much love!
Yeessssssssss i'm early and you look cute angela😄😄😄😍😁😁✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Welcome! Thank you for the kind words.
I would love to visit New York next year. Are there any cities that stand out more than others as far as the subculture? I ask since California is VERY hit or miss, albeit improving every year.
Thank you for the update on TTC.
Will you be making a second channel on your journey or you aren’t sure yet?
Just wanna support you through the journey. Love your videos!
i love latin freestyle too. cynthia and TKA were my faves.
Angela you're such a ball of light! I love putting your voice on in the background while I do homework or cook, you somehow manage to put me in a better mood.
Aw, that's sweet. I'm happy to keep you company.
The last time I went to a goth night the song that was playing as I was walking in was Blue Monday by New Order and I’ll forever remember that bc it put my head in a could lmao I love that song
Oh my God hun! I totally forgot to wish you a happy birthday sorry! Happy birthday!!
No worries, Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤
Hey Angela! I know this may seem very private but would you be down to adopt? Speaking from an adoptee stand point, I'm very grateful and happy I was adopted, and if you wanted more maybe adopting could be an option ❤ I love youuu lol
I'm absolutely open to adoption. 🖤🖤🖤 It's good to know that you're a proud, happy and flourishing adoptee. I would love to carry and give birth to a biological child but if that's not in the cards for us I know that I could definiteley love an adopted child just as much.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!Hope you have a Great Birthday Week!!!!!
Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤
Goth was definitely very separate from metal originally. It didn't cross over until the mid-nineties, when both types of music were out of favour.
Dracmakens has an amazing cooking playlist.
Question: I was born with dark circles and was wondering if you knew something that can help with my dark circles?
Concealer/color correcting palettes based on your skin's undertones. Also, checking to see if you have an iron deficiency and taking, internally and topically, vitamin e.
@@LadyJaggerX3 where can I check the Iron Deficiency?
@@brendaalvarez7632 Your doctor. :) At the very least, you can take iron/foic acid supplements, multivitamins, or try eating red meat/green leafy veggies and things like that.
Thanks for the vid Angela, I enjoyed this alot. :) 🖤
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it 🖤

What's that designer's name you mentioned from the 90's?
Anna Sui.
I wear a ton of Anna Sui, you can find pre-loved pieces on Ebay, Poshmark & The Real Real. Her current pieces are very 60’s inspired (Ossie Clarke, Mary Quant, Biba etc.) She likes to mix prints & textures.
