World Goth Day History

World Goth Day is said to have originated in the United Kingdom in 2009 as Goth Day. Back then, it was a smaller-scale celebration of the gothic subculture inspired by the broadcasting of a special set of shows on BBC Radio 6. Later, UK-based goth DJ Lee Meadows, aka DJ Cruel Britannia, now known as BatBoy Slim, wrote a MySpace blog suggesting the idea of initiating a 'Goth Day' to a very positive reception. In 2010, the duo decided to take the concept globally and created an environment of positivity and unity within the goth community.
