Teen Gothic

This means original band shirts and merch, circa 80s to early 2000s, not new stuff, you have in your collection or want, this isn't a selling/trading post to be clear. You can even include things like buttons/pins, posters, press photos. This can only be goth bands/genres, older items made back in the day. Share pics, links or describe.

I have some sisters of mercy press photos that are kind of warped and a sisters tour shirt I found at a thift store like 10 year ago from the late 80s, christian death and cure shirts I still have from the late 90s that are still wearable, and posters that are still on the walls from the 90s and 2000s.

I want this, the whole set of these cards.

Original shirts are getting more expensive recently. Sometimes I think we we need to put them in a some kind of goth history museum instead of allowing them certain things to get overinflated.

I find it to be really shallow, completely lack understanding of goth culture, and to be rather objectifying

Hello everyone, I’m currently doing research for a screenplay whose protagonists would be firmly within the goth culture. However, I rather dislike stereotypical depictions of goths in entertainment and would like the characters to feel as realistically involved in the culture as possible. That said, other than making sure the characters are actual humans with wants, needs, and flaws I was wondering what were this communities suggestions on what is genuine goth culture and what is an eye rolling stereotype what do you wish was represented on the screen and what do you hope is never seen again? Or any other thoughts you have? Thank you!

EDIT: Context: the film is a horror film in the vein of 80s John Carpenter. At this time we haven’t settled on setting it in the 80s or contemporary. Character is at the center of the piece rather than the “it” which at this time the funding studio is not letting us reveal.
