      I wouldn’t say those are goth wristbands - they look more punk to me.

      The spiked leather wristbands and the safety pin tattoo on the person’s hand are definitely punk style elements, not typical goth fashion.

      Goth style tends to have a more frilly, dark Victorian-inspired look, whereas punk fashion typically prioritizes elements like studs, spikes, safety pins, and a generally scrappier aesthetic.

      However, the punk ethos isn’t always solely about the visual style - many punk bands and fans focus more on the politics and music rather than emphasizing a specific punk look, for example band “Dead Kennedys” often wore plain t-shirts and pants. I mean I guess the same can be said about goths, though.
