Goth night at Transmission Theatre (where the club Halcyon lives today) was one of many locales known for drawing crowds clad in velvet, vinyl and heavy eyeliner dancing to classics from The Cure, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Joy Division and more.
For many, Necropolis and clubs like Roderick's Chamber were fond gathering spaces for the city's nightlife misfits.
It gave such partygoers a place to gather during the early dot-com years — a goth revival that was both rebellious, communal and a darkly dressed counterpoint to the era's Silicon Valley optimism.
🥀 Today, places likeDNA Lounge and Cat Club are keeping the subculture alive for longtime goths and curious newcomers alike.
