Goth Punk
Skull Jewelry
Once the post-punk scene started to fragment in the early 1980s, one of several subcultures to emerge was the Gothic community, based around enjoying bass heavy, brooding music and mostly all black outfits borrowing from styles as varied as the Victorian era to bondage and fetish wear.
The Cure, Bauhaus, Souxsie and The Banshees, The Sisters of Mercy and The Cult all became linked to the Goth world, despite the fact that many of these afterwards dissociated themselves from it. Nonetheless, the fact remains whatever was followed by Goths was Goth, as there was really no uniting sound; even the lyrical themes, although typically downbeat, were dissimilar; think of the introspection of “Pornography” era The Cure, compared with the bombastic sound of The Sisters of Mercy on Floodland.
In addition to the black clothes, hair dye and eyeliner, a lot of Goths also chose to wear crucifixes and religious symbols. With the Bauhaus anthem “Bela Lugosi Is Dead” came the cod-horror theatricals popular with artists like Alien Sex Fiend, and in addition to the bats and crosses came skull jewelry and other items.
Although many misitreperted the imagery of Goth, believing it to be associated with violence or suicidal tendencies, the truth is the movement was in truth an open one – “anything goes” it was saying, and the visual aspect of death in the image was more related to the idea of taking pleasure in finite time, rather than actually wanting it. In this manner it was just like the veritas veritatum paintings of the renaissance, where painters contrasted man’s vanity – intellectual pursuits and pleasure of life – with the vanity of life. The latter was highlighted by a skull, and also sometimes underlined by an hourglass or candlestick.
Following the usage of skull jewelry by Goths, the skull image was also used by Heavy Metal and bikers, even though the use was completely different. While Goth was introspective and at times self indulgent, Heavy Metal was a kind of cartoon rock without any real substance behind it.
Nowadays skull jewelry can be found in many styles. Not only the stark metal death’s head, it can also be found in examples of precious metals and covered with diamonds.
