Teen Gothic

When I was still fairly new to goth in the early to mid-00s, Lakini (Dan) was well-known. He established a LiveJournal community called "gothmusicshare" and worked on the Drop Dead Festival in NYC. The deathrock revival he helped to spearhead was exciting. He had a significant following online.

I'm told that he was polarizing, however. My closest elder goth friend at the time was not fond of his immaturity and brash personality. (She was in the scene in the 80s and wasn't easily impressed. He called her "prissy.") I've since learned that he was a creep and an opportunist who mined his associates for underground band names like Blue In Heaven and then claimed that he, himself had discovered them from within the hidden vaults of previous decades.

What are your own thoughts and experiences?

Be warned, you've just arrived to **Spooky Saturday!** Where anything goth and Gothic related is allowed! Be it music, be it selfies, be it literature, be it movies, be it bad memes about visigoths!

rewatching this made me realise how much gothic imagery is in this film and its perfect for romantic goths if u havent seen it before!!

So, i just cleared 12 hours of music out of my 63 hour giant mix of different genres i like spotify playlist and i need to add more, especially goth music. i already know most of the big 'Goth' music names and the ones that arent too well known but are still kinda known ones, but i'd like to know some of the gems that are hard to find that some of you enjoy so i could check em out and maybe share them with my friends.

A 5-day-long goth Festival in the US(maybe longer). It would be like if a gothic music festival and Comic-Con had a kid. There would be concerts and movie nights. old school and modern-day horror video games. A macabre art alley. Adult goth nights (With drinks, both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. Possibly karaoke. And it would be almost full of songs that aren't usually on karaoke lists.) And a whole area dedicated to buying and selling all sorts of Gothic fashion and music. And of course it would have like a place that would be qualified as kind of like a chill area / a place to get something to eat (maybe it would even have themed food). And we can't forget the younger goths. There would have all sorts of fun activities for them to do as well. Just wanted that was floating around in my head.
