Hodkinson's examination of the goth scene in England focuses on the translocal connections of the scene. Hodkinson talks significantly about the "open arms" type of culture the goth groups exhibit. Goths while visiting other areas in England and even out of the country will interact with and commune with the local goth group in that particular area. Hodkinson also talked about how goths seemed interested in meeting people like themselves from other areas. Later on in the chapter Hodkinson talked about how goths were related in many ways even though they were from different areas. Most notably, he talked about how they were brought together through commerce and media specifically the internet. Hodkinson concludes with the point that he wanted to make, that goths are not a bunch of individual local groups but one cohesive group in a bunch of different areas.
Discussion Question:
Hodkinson talks about how goths from different areas are accepting of eachother and quite interested in finding out about one another. Why do you think that goths are so welcoming of other goths from different areas?
