Teen Gothic

I miss living in New Jersey where I was an hour from Philly and an hour from NYC, where the scene is more alive.

I walk around here and feel like I stick out like a sore thumb. Honestly everyone is so normie here. I go to university in NC and literally everyone only wears sorority/fraternity shirts and flip flops. It kind of drives me insane. Everyone is a fashion slave to big corporations here. And when I say I listen to goth music they think I mean lil peep or like black sabbath lol. I’m just trying to find my people here and it is hard. I live on the East Coast so if anyone is here, hit me up.

I was watching GothCast's review on Poptone's self-titled, which I had listened to before, and it inspired me to check out the original tracks. My personal opinions are:

• I love the Poptone versions of Ball of Confusion, Mirror People, OK This Is The Pops, etc. more than their original counterparts.

• I love the original Movement of Fear, Slice of Life, and Christian Says more than the Poptone versions.

• I love both versions of Love Me.

Got a review of something cool, somewhat goth-related? Maybe a nice book, movie, youtube? Wanna promote your thing? Go for it!

"Goth music" from my understanding would be considered a noun. However alone, is the word "goth" considered an adjective, as it's describing the noun "music"?

Similar example: "Folk" on it's own would be considered an adjective, however "folk music" would be considered a noun.

According to https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Goth, in this context it IS a noun even without the "music" attached? As in, "goth" on it's own is synonymous with "goth music".

According to https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/goth, goth IS an adjective, meaning "(of music) in a style of guitar-based rock with some similarities to heavy metal and punk and usually characterized by depressing or mournful lyrics". It would appear, depending on the source, the word alone can either be a noun or an adjective.

Interestingly enough, according to https://www.dictionary.com/browse/gothic, the term "gothic" IS being used as an adjective to describe a different type of music from a different period.
