whimsigoth

A type of goth in which people of the reddit sub r/goth will have hilarious debates over.
u/realgoth: Dear r/goth, what does whimsigoth mean?

u/gatekeepergoth: It's not a real goth, but just a style of fashion that people who like Stevie Nicks, The Smiths and who watch the film The Craft dress up in. Really, it's purely an aesthetic 90s look which is now popular on tiktok. But it's not really goth and has nothing to do with goth. Because goth is the best and if you say something that isn't really goth than you are wrong and I am right and I will delete your post because I am the best moderator in the world who doesn't have a life and gets off on arguing with people of reddit and I enjoy deleting their non goth posts cause I don't have anything better to do.

whimsigoth

A term used to describe an aesthetic consisting of bohemian elements with spirituality, witchcraft, & celestial imagery. Derived in the 90s, often depicted in pop-culture such as Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Phoebe Buffy from Friends, Lenny Kravitz, & Lisa Bonet. It draws influence from artists such as Stevie Nicks, Mazzy Star, Cocteau Twins, & The Cure. The only “gothic” aspect is the slight & very minimal reminiscence to the Victorian era. As for the fashion, materials such as silk, satin, velvet, sheer, corduroy, leather, & lace play a significant role. Accessorizing with archaic jewelry, hem stones, & DIY pieces are essential to completing the look. What typically differentiates “whimsigoth” from “boho” are the use of jewel tones & celestial memorabilia correspondent to that of a witch.

flophouse 

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.
Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!
