Teen Gothic

My wife and I are looking to get into our local scene, but I have no idea where to look. we're trying to find clubs, stores, and meet-up places in Houston/South Houston. Any help is much appreciated.

I never heard the word being used back in the latter end of 90s and 2000s in my limited circles, both online and in real life, but I've stumbled upon a few old threads somewhere where this was mentioned as being used to exclusively refer to goth rock/second wave bands at some point. Can anyone provide further insight maybe with references if possible? I'm just merely curious about the use of the term from a historical stand point and if it was used back in the day (especially 80s) among certain people and how common was it?

I'm well aware of another modern term that seems like an internet label describing a wide array of dark bands unrelated or partially including goth and that's not what I'm referring to.

Show us what you've DIY (Do It Yourself) lately! Be it clothes, painting, maybe a Andrew Eldritch lookalike?

Anything romantic or heartbreak-related. I went back to some old playlists and now I miss someone. Ironically, music works as a distraction. Kinda. Either way, I just want some recs. Thanks in advance!
