Wave-Gotik-Treffen is “one of the largest events of the gothic, cybergoth, steampunk, and rivethead subcultures worldwide”. It started yesterday and is running through this weekend in Germany.

The Victorian Picnic started as "an opportunity for attendees to dress in elaborate Victorian-era-inspired clothing. Participants would gather to socialize, showcase their outfits, and enjoy a leisurely afternoon reminiscent of the Victorian era." Over the years, people started wearing more goth-, fantasy-, and steampunk-inspired outfits.

The following are in German but automated translators work pretty well:

A couple things I like about these photos. These are "real people", not heavily-filtered Insta influencer wannabes trolling for followers. These are people of various ages and genders and styles.

Like, look at this guy. Is he from Lord of the Rings? If he isn't, then Tolkien was quite remiss in neglecting him.

I like this kid's outfit bc you can just tell she's gonna show this photo to her grandma next week and they'll bond over it.

This one is deceptively simple, there are some great patterns in the shoulder spikes, the metal snakes in the headpiece, and the eye decoration.

waaah so jealous...
