A headline describing World Goth Day forced us to look at new publications from the UK produced for university students made today’s highlight and recommendation list. The pub called unifresher gave us a top 21 list of Goths, and it’s one of the most thoughtful lists we’ve seen in a publication in a long time. A quick how-to on when to wash jeans and hair follows the goth list, and we finish with a vlog from a father and son at a Rock Show!

World Goth Day is in a few weeks on May 22nd, and a unique story about goth [sub]culture and a few of the icons who shine as dark stars have been highlighted by an equally impressive online pub. A university publication called Unifresh writes about our goth friends, and the pub looks like a university journal for several schools in the UK.

The variety of goth characters selected makes this list of goths better than most. Siouxsie Sioux, Robert Smith, and Bauhaus are the first three on the list, perfectly acceptable and obvious, but further down the list are Helena Bonham Carter and Edgar Allan Poe - now that is interesting. Finally, Eric Draven (Character from the movie The Crow) and Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder’s character from Beetlejuice), well, that takes a list that could have just been alt-rock genre royalty and turns it into a thought-provoking list further defining the attitude that goes along with being a little melancholy, mysterious and dressing for a fun funeral!

We bet you’ve seen a story on how often to wash your favorite jeans. Denim enthusiasts will tell you less is more, and Wirecutter’s report agrees. Your jeans can keep you like a cowboy on a long dusty trail unless you have a stain or smell. If you want them to stay long and strong and with a deep color, the less you put them through the battle that is the washer and dryer, the better. This advice is best for straight denim instead of all those new denim hybrids with polyester and stretchy material woven in.

The same could be said for your hair, the science may not follow, but like jeans, unless you have a stain or a smell, you can go a few days without shampooing and conditioning your fur mane.
