Candy
Goth is similar to perkygoth style, but mixed with other pastel colours rather than the traditional perkygoth pink. This is another colourful, bouncier subset of
Goth - more whimsical and less futuristic than cybergoth, but the candy
Goth may also enjoy electronic-
based music.
Candy
Goth tends to appeal to younger, predominantly female Goths, and since this style may incorporate pigtails, brightly coloured striped socks, jelly bracelets, kandi and soft toys this is quite fitting, as these kinds of accessories are widely available from stores like
Claire's and
Hot Topic, providing an easy, pocket-money friendly transition into Goth culture for younger darklings.
Cyber falls, pleated skirts, tutus, pastel or black fishnets, cat ears, black and pastel hair, and colourful make-up are also popular. Aficionados of candy Goth style may be attracted to other looks with a similar sweet or colourful aesthetic, for example Sweet Lolita, babydoll Goth, Graver, pastel goth and glitter Goth, and as such may also borrow from these styles.
